Introduction
John Deere 6M 250 Utility Tractor
The John Deere 6M 250 is a high-performance utility tractor manufactured in Mannheim, Germany. Designed for modern agricultural operations, this machine combines high-torque power delivery with advanced transmission technology to handle a wide range of heavy-duty field tasks.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a John Deere PowerTech PSS 6.8-liter, 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. It delivers a rated power output of 246.8 hp (184.0 kW) at 2100 RPM, with a maximum gross power reaching 270.9 hp (202.0 kW). The engine provides a peak torque of 863 lb-ft (1170.2 Nm) at 1600 RPM, ensuring consistent pulling power under load.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The machine utilizes the AutoPowr IVT (Infinitely Variable Transmission), which allows for smooth, stepless speed adjustments in both forward and reverse directions. Power is transferred to the ground via a four-wheel drive system, supported by planetary final drives and an electro-hydraulic differential lock to maximize traction in variable soil conditions.
Hydraulics and PTO
Equipped with a hydraulic pump providing a flow rate of 41 gpm (155.2 lpm), the system supports up to three rear valves and two to four mid-mount valves. The independent rear PTO offers 540/1000 RPM speeds, while an optional front PTO at 1000 RPM is available. Both systems engage via an electro-hydraulic wet disc clutch for precise control.
Hitch and Capacity
The tractor features a Category III/IIIN rear hitch with a lift capacity of 12,996 lbs (5,894 kg) measured at 24 inches behind the lift point. An optional front hitch is available with a lift capacity of 9,692 lbs (4,396 kg), allowing for the simultaneous use of front and rear implements.
Conclusion
The John Deere 6M 250 is engineered for versatility and high-intensity agricultural use. With its robust lift capacities, infinitely variable transmission, and integrated JDLink fleet management, it is suited for professional operators requiring a reliable, high-horsepower tractor capable of managing complex implement configurations.
