Rated at 171 kW (230 hp) and 186 kW (250 hp), it has the potential to set new standards for transport, operator comfort and acceleration on the road, thanks to an engine boost of 37.2 kW (50 hp).

Weighing only 9.3 tonnes, the 6250R delivers more power than any other tractor in its weight class, along with an unrivalled power density of 31 kg/hp.

The tractors feature an all-new CommandPRO joystick, available as an optional extra, which introduces a new dimension in ergonomics and versatility to John Deere tractors. Top speed can be reached with just one push.

Equipped with a pressure and flow compensated hydraulic system, the new 6R Series tractors deliver a powerful maximum flow of 160 Lpm at 1500 RPM.

The 6230R and 6250R tractors also feature a high level of operator comfort, equipped with hydro-pneumatic cab suspension which offers more driving comfort and isolation from noise and vibration.

Key service points on the new 6R Series tractors are easy to access for maintenance. Both models feature 750 hour engine oil filter, fuel filter and engine oil intervals, helping to further reduce parts and servicing costs.
