Introduction
John Deere 6170M Row-Crop Tractor
The John Deere 6170M is a row-crop tractor produced between 2013 and 2015 at the Mannheim manufacturing facility in Germany. Designed for heavy agricultural operations, this model integrates a high-pressure common rail fuel system and liquid-cooled engine architecture.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 6-cylinder John Deere PowerTech PVX engine with a displacement of 6.8 liters. It utilizes a variable geometry turbocharger with an intercooler and cooled exhaust gas recirculation to meet Interim Tier IV emission standards. The engine delivers a rated gross power of 170 hp (126.8 kW) and a maximum gross power of 173 hp (129.0 kW), with a compression ratio of 16.5:1.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 6170M offers multiple partial power shift transmission configurations, including the PowrQuad Plus and AutoQuad Plus systems. Depending on the configuration, the operator has access to either 16 or 20 forward and reverse gears. The drivetrain features a wet disc clutch and is available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive variants, with the latter including a limited-slip front differential.
Hydraulics and Hitch
Equipped with a closed-center, load-sensing, pressure-and-flow-compensated hydraulic system, the tractor provides a pump flow of 30 gpm (113.6 lpm). The rear hitch is a Category III/IIIN type with electrohydraulic load-sensing control, capable of lifting 8,360 lbs (3,792 kg) at a distance of 24 inches behind the lift points.
Operator Environment and Dimensions
The tractor features a pressurized cab equipped with air conditioning. Optional precision farming technology, including GreenStar and AutoTrac systems, can be integrated. The machine has a wheelbase of 110.2 inches and a base weight of 15,664 lbs, with a maximum allowable weight of 24,912 lbs.
Conclusion
The John Deere 6170M is engineered for high-intensity agricultural tasks, offering a balanced combination of hydraulic capacity, power output, and transmission flexibility suitable for row-crop farming and heavy-duty field work.
