John Deere Expands Customizable 6M Tractor Series with Advanced Technology Features🚜

Listen to Maci Carter talking with Kaylene Ballestero about John Deere’s new 6M Series.

At the Farm Progress show held August 27-29, 2024,in Boone, Iowa, Oklahoma Farm Report’s Maci Carter visited with John Deere Go-To Market Manager of Hay & Forage Kaylene Ballestero about John Deere’s new 6M Series and the added value they bring to producers.

Ballesteros, along with her John Deere team, was excited to tell Carter and potential customers about the new 6M Series of utility tractors, which were just launched earlier this summer. She said that it is one of the most versatile of the John Deere’s mid-size tractors.

“A new 6M paired with our balers and MoCos, really makes a powerful duo no matter what job you are doing,” she said.

The hot topic about the 6M Series is that they are customizable tractors. “They allow a customer that doesn’t want that ultimate, cab, spec-level experience of what our R Series is at an ‘M’ or midsize level, but without losing the performance they want,” Ballesteros added.

The 6M Series upgrade came from customers wanting full fleets of equipment. The mid-spec level of tractor allows them to have more pieces of equipment, while making sure that their invested dollar is returned in the performance of the tractor.  It also has the option to be upgraded with the JDLink which allows the user to upload data from the tractor such as maintenance, fuel efficiency, or operator efficiency, automatically to the John Deere Operations Center mobile app. 

“If you are interested in machine health, operator efficiency, or even agronomic things such as bale documentation, mowing documentation, or what type of yield, weight, moisture you are seeing out in your field; it can all be automatically transferred if you have the JDLink modem in the tractor as you are doing that work,” Ballesteros said.

John Deere is big on technology. It offers the John Deere Operations Center app and the Equipment Mobile app. Ballesteros explained, “Equipment Mobile is geared toward the equipment and machine health, where Operations Center is more focused on agronomics decisions and the operator’s efficiency.”

She recommended reaching out to a local John Deere dealer for more information about the 6M Series and John Deere’s latest technology.
