Introduction

John Deere 6130M Utility Tractor

The John Deere 6130M is a utility tractor manufactured in Mannheim, Germany, produced between 2015 and 2024. As part of the 6M series, it is designed for versatile agricultural applications, balancing mechanical durability with modern engine performance.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a 4.5-liter, 4-cylinder, 16-valve John Deere PowerTech PSS turbocharged and aftercooled diesel engine. It delivers a rated power of 130 hp at 2100 RPM, with a maximum output of 137 hp. The engine complies with Tier IV emission standards through a combination of cooled exhaust-gas recirculation, a diesel particulate filter, and selective catalytic reduction.

Transmission and Drivetrain

Multiple transmission configurations are available to suit operational requirements, including the SyncroPlus (12 forward/4 reverse gears) and the PowrQuad or AutoQuad PLUS systems, which offer 16 or 24 forward and reverse gears. These systems feature an electro-hydraulic clutch and power-shift capabilities for smooth gear transitions. The machine is available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive variants, equipped with electro-hydraulic differential locks on both front and rear axles.

Hydraulics and PTO

The hydraulic system utilizes an open-center design with a pump flow of 21.1 gpm at 2900 psi, with an optional pressure-and-flow compensated load-sensing system providing up to 30 gpm. The independent rear PTO offers dual speeds of 540 and 1000 RPM, operated via an electro-hydraulic clutch. The rear hitch is a Category III/II type, providing a lift capacity of 6,474 lbs.

Operator Environment and Dimensions

The 6130M features a standard cab equipped with air conditioning, with a two-post folding ROPS configuration available as an alternative. The tractor has a wheelbase of 101.6 inches and a total length of 176.6 inches. It utilizes hydraulic wet disc brakes and power steering to ensure maneuverability and operator control during heavy-duty field tasks.

Conclusion

The John Deere 6130M is a robust utility tractor suited for a wide range of farming operations. Its combination of high-torque 4.5L engine power, flexible transmission options, and substantial hydraulic capacity makes it a versatile choice for medium-to-heavy agricultural tasks.
