Equipped with an open-center hydraulic system, the tractor provides a pump flow of 7.2 gpm (27.3 lpm). The rear Category II three-point hitch offers a lift capacity of 4200 lbs (1905 kg). Power Take-Off (PTO) options include a live two-stage clutch system and an optional independent PTO, supporting standard 540 RPM operation at 2020 engine RPM.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
The operating weight of the D 6006 varies by configuration, ranging from 5756 lbs (2610 kg) for the 2WD model to 6906 lbs (3132 kg) for the 4WD model. The operator station could be equipped with a four-post ROPS or an optional cab with a heater, reflecting the standard ergonomic considerations of its production period.
