Specially designed for ... everything!

6030 and 7430-7530 SERIES DESIGN

4 CYLINDER MODELS - 4.5 litres POWERTECH PLUS ENGINES

6 CYLINDER MODELS - 6.8 litres POWERTECH PLUS ENGINES

PowerTech Plus™ engines offer a four-valve common rail design for unmatched torque, constant power, and fuel efficiency. These heavy-duty powerplants are specifically designed for ag applications such as loader work, PTO applications, tillage, and transport.

Hydraulics have long been a hallmark of John Deere tractors, and the 6030 Premium Series Tractors are no exception. The pressure- and flow-compensated system generates 29 gpm for faster loader cycle times. Plus, it’s designed to conserve energy when no oil is in demand.

Now available with 540/540E/1000, 6030 Premium Series Tractors make it easy to change between speeds (and implements). Choose the 540E to run at lower engine rpm to save fuel and reduce noise.

The cab is mounted on new pivot bearings at the front, and the rear HCS cylinders have integrated rubber ISO mounts to reduce noise levels. The dashboard, right hand console and left hand storage area come in new lighter colours with improved outlines, while the seat has a deeper base cushion to provide the driver with a more comfortable working environment.  For an easier reach from the steering wheel, the left hand reverser has been integrated into the newly designed dashboard, just like the windshield wiper lever and the direction indicator, which is now self-cancelling as in a car. To provide the driver with a perfect view of the instrument panel from any position, the whole dashboard can now be moved telescopically.

A new one piece, right hand console incorporates the most ergonomically placed controls for a wide range of applications and operating requirements, including a choice of mechanical or electrical selective control valves on the right hand side. Front and rear pto switches are now located directly in line and are in an easier location between the other controls, while the buttons for the Headland Management System (HMS) sequencing and AutoTrac assisted steering are integrated into the side of the electronic hitch control pod.

 

The CommandCenter lets you customize a single key to engage/disengage common controls, such as lighting, hitch, hydraulics, and even PTO speeds or Auto/Eco transmission settings.

The new CommandCenter on every 6030 and 7030 Series Premium tractor is a combination of information centre and set-up monitor in one large, full colour display. For frequently used functions such as the settings for the hitch, engine, transmission, HMS and SCVs there are shortcut keys on the control panel giving quick and direct access for setting changes.

Those functions which are less often used are featured in a single menu page, which can be accessed by pressing a menu button and using the rotating dial. Extra settings can be engaged via free programmable hotkeys on top of the CommandCenter, which also serves as an information centre to display relevant tractor data.

For instance, to operate the new Triple Link Suspension (TLS) Plus system, the driver can choose one of three operating modes via the menu page, either Auto, Max or Manual. The system automatically produces a progressive spring adjustment to provide the best ride quality under extreme conditions. In Max mode, maximum stiffness is achieved by raising the system’s hydraulic pressure, an ideal solution for pallet work, for example, where placement accuracy is essential.

Transmission options remain the same as on previous models. The new 30 Series CommandARM option integrates the AutoPowr lever with the new right hand console, while for the ultimate in luxury a leather seat and leather steering wheel are also optionally available.

NEW LOADERS FOR UTILITY TRACTORS INTRODUCED BY JOHN DEERE

In order to gain more productivity from a utility tractor, many operators attach a loader for hauling, loading, and clean-up chores on the farm or worksite. John Deere has added even more durability and efficiency in a tractor/loader combination with the introduction of four new loader models; the 563 and 673 Self-Leveling (SL), and 563 and 673 Non-Self-Leveling (NSL) models.   "These loaders are designed primarily for John Deere 6000, 6010, 6020 and 6030 Series Tractors but will also fit on 6615, 6715, 7220, 7320, and 7420 Tractors in lighter duty applications," says Dan Wilson, loader product specialist, John Deere Welland Works. "The durable design of these loaders totally integrates with the tractor and provides better visibility and improved ease of operation."   Durability features include a cast-steel mounting frame and a heavy-duty hood guard that offers increased protection to the tractor. Overall steel thickness has been increased on the 673 Loaders for longer life.   "The SL models are designed with an increased dump angle to aid with bale huggers, bale spears, and overall grading work," explains Wilson. "The NSL models have increased rollback angles to help carry more material in the bucket.   "Also, with these new loaders, a very user-friendly attaching system, the John Deere Global Carrier, has been designed to easily attach and detach buckets, blades, pallet forks, and other tools. An optional Cylinder Latching System can also be added to the Global Carrier that allows the operator to change attachments on the loader without leaving the tractor platform."   Integrated with the tractor, the new loaders provide better visibility and improved ease of operation.     The loaders have been designed to meet specific customer needs. For example, hay handling and light-duty chores done by a new 6030 Series Tractor would probably use the 563 Loader. More heavy-duty chores such as grading, digging, moving bales with a grapple, and moving silage would probably require the 673 Loader.
