New 6030 Series tractors broaden
customer appeal
John Deere’s new mid-specification 6030
Series tractors are designed for wider appeal to
a bigger range of customers, particularly mixed
and livestock farmers looking for reliability,
performance, higher levels of comfort and simple
operation as standard.
Available for 2008, this new eight model range
replaces the previous 6020 SE Series, and will
complement the 6030 Premium models that were
introduced in Autumn 2006. The previous 6020SE
model has not been continued, but two new models
have been added at the top of the range to
provide extra power options. The full line-up is
as follows:

All models feature a Tier 3 turbocharged
engine with the same high pressure common rail
fuel injection system as on the Premium
machines, but in a simpler overall package
without the variable geometry turbocharger,
exhaust gas recirculation and Intelligent Power
Management system. The engines deliver 20 per
cent constant power and a five per cent power
bulge when required.
There is now a wider choice of transmissions,
depending on model, including Power Reverser
16/16 (30 and 40kph), PowrQuad Plus 16/16 (30
and 40kph), and PowrQuad Plus 20/20 and 24/24
(40kph only). All include a new electrically
operated left-hand reverser that is incorporated
into the new tilting and telescoping dash unit.
A number of changes have been made to the
cab, compared to the previous SE range, to
improve operator comfort. Noise levels have been
reduced to 71dB(A), rear visibility down to the
pick-up hitch has been improved, and cruise
control is standard. Other improvements include
the relocation of the heater from the cab roof
to underneath the seat, which greatly improves
visibility when using a front loader.
Additional standard features include a remote
pto control, large capacity fuel tanks up to 250
litres (325 litres optional) on the new 6830 and
6930 models, and increased lift capacity options
ranging from 4 to 6 tonnes. An optional factory
fit vandal protection kit is available, which
includes a lockable bonnet, fuel cap and
transmission oil cap, and both Parallel Tracking
and AutoTrac Universal steering systems are
available as field fit options if required.
Prices of the new John Deere 6030 Series
tractors, which are available from November
2007, range from £34,309.RRP to £54,334. RRP
