Deere 6000 series E, M, and R

Well, my buddy has a line on a 700 hour 6110 2017 model M. He has been testing many different colors.

Yesterday he went and test drove a brand new 6130M MFWD and FEL, and told me that was the finest tractor he's ever driven. He has a nice 3155 MFWD for comparison purposes. His step brother traded from another color to green about 2 years ago and keeps telling him he should buy green.

He ended up buying the 6110 MFWD. He had to have them adjust the clutch, as it was way too grabby. He said they hooked up the computer and bingo....fixed.

A few other nit picky things.

Also got himself a used 569 baler with netwrap. says it really saves time when baling all day.

He says the AC works so good, he can cut it back a notch, even without tinted windows.

He did say it does not turn as sharp as his 3155 MFWD.

I would think the 6110M should turn at least as tight as the 3155. The wheelbase is a little shorter. He may need to adjust the steering stops, unless the wheels are set really narrow.

Contractors Rule of Thumb $10,000 per hp, does not matter which of the major colours.

Bought a 5115M in October last year. Was between that and another 5R tractor. The deciding factor for me was the computerized transmission in the R and it was about $30,000.00 more. The transmission on the 5Rs is still kind of jerky and in addition to the money this clenched it for me.

My dream machine is the 6250R. Just ready to see one over here in the US. They are really popular in Europe.

That in New Zealand ? 1 hp = $10,000, 10 hp = $100,000. , 100 hp = $1,000,000 ?? or are other costs factored in here?

Oops, a slip of the key. Should be $1,000/hp
Yes, New Zealand

Maybe a Fendt is $1000/HP lol

Apparently in Germany, The JD tractors are for the poor farmers.

Well - I have a Fendt - - baseball cap. Visited their web site - saw the prices. They still sent me a free ball cap. And we all think JD Green is expensive!!!

Lots of great features only available on the 6R, the bigger newer cab, TLS, the Deere IVT, the command centre etc etc. I suppose you pays your money and you makes your choice. Once you load up a 6M on the JD website you're not that far off a 6R.
