2025 John Deere 6E Series 6135E

Information

2025 John Deere 6E Series 6135E

  • Engine HP: 137 Max | 135 Rated
  • John Deere FT4 PowerTech™ engine combines performance and fluid economy
  • 12/12 or 24/12 hi-lo PowrReverser™ transmission
  • Cab, 2WD or MFWD
  • 15 degrees of seat swivel with optional air-ride seat

Features may include:

Tire combinations; two-wheel drive (2WD), mechanical front-wheel drive (MFWD) and rear axle – radial tires

Overview

Front and rear radial tire offerings are available on all models, except for the front tires on the open-operator station (OOS) configurations.

Benefits

Better ride quality

Better wear characteristics

Less compaction

More efficient converting more power to the ground

Heavy-duty front rims are also available that are capable of additional load and are perfect for roadside mowing or sidehill applications

Loader-ready packages

Overview

To further the versatility and efficiency of the 6E Tractors and their hydraulic capabilities, the 6Es (excluding 6120EH) can be ordered loader ready. Being able to add a loader to a 6E Tractor makes it an even more capable solution to the various tasks a utility tractor is challenged with.

Overview:

For the operator wanting to install a loader on a tractor, two-function and three-function hydraulic mid-mount valves with mechanical joystick are available.

Benefits:

The operator can operate the loader using a joystick, increasing productivity and maneuverability

Available for both cab and open operator station (OOS) configurations on all 6Es (excluding 6120EH)

Quick installation of a loader once the tractor is received

Improved resale value

4.5L (275-cu in.) PowerTech™ engine power and specifications

Tractor models and horsepower

Overview

All John Deere 6E Series Tractors feature the reliable and proven 4.5L (275-cu in.) engines. These engines deliver constant power over a wide range of rpm with a power bulge above rated power and excellent torque characteristics.

The 6E Series, while being value-featured and competitively priced, are built with John Deere's long-standing reputation for reliability, durability, and maintainability.

Rated engine horsepower ratings are included for reference to competitor's gross or engine-only power ratings. There are several ratings systems used by other manufacturers. John Deere uses the horsepower-rating standard 97/68/EC, which is widely used in Europe for various regulations.

How is engine-only rated and maximum power determined?

John Deere engineering uses a precise procedure to measure engine-only power levels. The 97/68/EC standard is required in the European Union (EU) as an emission test, so there is some relation to the power a tractor has as a whole functioning unit; however, the procedure requires only that a production engine and radiator are used on a dynamometer test. Use the 97/68/EC horsepower ratings in the above chart to compare to competitor claims of engine-only power.

Benefits of PTO power and power bulge

The John Deere exclusive single-injector control, electronic fuel injection system, and other key engine parts work together to sense engine load and instantly respond as needed to pull through tough spots. This reduces engine rpm fluctuation, resulting in the reduced need to downshift the transmission. Fewer shifts result in fewer ground variations, providing more overall tractor productivity.

To match the engine power characteristics and improve economy of operation, the rated engine speed is 2200 rpm.
