Introduction
John Deere 6135E Utility Tractor
The John Deere 6135E is a utility tractor introduced in 2016 as part of the 6120E series. Manufactured in Saltillo, Mexico, this machine is engineered for general agricultural applications, prioritizing reliability and operational efficiency.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 4.5-liter, 4-cylinder John Deere PowerTech PWS engine. It utilizes an electronic high-pressure common rail fuel system and a wastegate turbocharger with air-to-air aftercooling to deliver a rated gross power of 135 hp (100.7 kW). The engine is designed to operate between 1900 and 2200 RPM, producing 397 lb-ft (538.3 Nm) of torque at 1600 RPM. It complies with Tier IV emission standards through cooled exhaust-gas recirculation.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 6135E features a four-wheel drive system with a mechanical rear differential lock and a limited-slip front differential lock to enhance traction in varying field conditions. Two transmission options are available: a 12-speed PowrReverser transmission, providing 12 forward and 12 reverse gears, or a 24-speed PowrReverser Hi-Lo transmission, which adds a two-speed power shift functionality. Both systems utilize wet disc clutches.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is an open-center configuration with a pump flow capacity of 20 gpm (75.7 lpm) at 2828 psi (195.0 bar). The tractor is equipped with two to three valves for implement control. The independent rear PTO supports 540 and 1000 RPM operation, with speeds achieved at engine ratings of 2085 RPM and 2067 RPM respectively.
Hitch and Dimensions
The rear hitch is a Category II system equipped with telescopic draft arms and optional draft sensing. The wheelbase measures 96.5 inches (245 cm), providing a stable platform for field operations. The front tread is adjustable between 59.7 and 79.4 inches (151 to 201 cm) to accommodate different row spacings.
Conclusion
The John Deere 6135E is a versatile utility tractor suited for varied farming tasks requiring a balance of power and maneuverability.
