Introduction
John Deere 6210SE Utility Tractor
The John Deere 6210SE is a utility tractor produced between 1998 and 2003, belonging to the 6010SE series. Designed for general agricultural operations, it combines a mid-range power output with various transmission and hydraulic configurations to suit diverse farming requirements.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 4.5-liter, 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine manufactured by John Deere. It delivers a net rated power of 90 hp (67.1 kW) at a rated speed of 2300 RPM. The engine produces 268.8 lb-ft (364.5 Nm) of torque at 1495 RPM and utilizes a liquid-cooling system with a viscous-drive fan to maintain optimal operating temperatures.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 6210SE offers three transmission options to manage power delivery: the SynchroPlus (12 forward/4 reverse), the Power Reverser (16 forward/reverse), and the PowerQuad (16 forward/reverse with four-speed power shift). All variants utilize an electro-hydraulic wet disc clutch for durability and smooth engagement during directional changes.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system features a load-sensing pump providing a flow rate of 14.3 gpm (54.1 lpm) at a pressure of 2901 psi (200.0 bar). The rear hitch is a Category II type with electronic lower-link draft sensing, capable of lifting up to 8970 lbs (4068 kg). The independent PTO system supports 540, 540E, and 1000 RPM speeds, with an available independent front PTO for additional equipment versatility.
