6120M standard cab with Compact CommandARM™ console

The 6M Tractor was designed to ensure maximum maneuverability, visibility, and superior comfort for operators’ working long days. The 6110M and 6120M, with the updated sloped-down hood design, feature a 17.8-cm (7-in.) shorter wheelbase (240 cm [94.5 in.]) allowing you to maneuver tight areas with no problems. Inside, the 6M cab has been designed to maximize operator comfort and visibility. All-around visibility of 310 degrees from within the cab ensures accurate tractor placement, implement hookup, and optimum tractor performance. Additionally, all 6M Tractors will come standard with a digital cornerpost display and include additional options to further improve operator satisfaction like:

• Mechanical or electrical joystick with PowrReverser™ functionality
• Quickly and easily change directions with the push of a button while doing loader work
• Compact CommandARM console

6120M with Intelligent Power Management

The 6110M through 6140M Tractors come equipped with Intelligent Power Management (IPM). IPM provides a 14.9-kW (20-hp) boost for operations that use rear power take-off (PTO) in high-power applications or in transport. Benefits of IPM include improved productivity, increased acceleration, and the ability to maintain desired transport speeds. The requirements for IPM to be active include: 

• Transport applications: The minimum ground speed where additional power begins to be applied for all models is 15 km/h (9.3 mph), assuming the engine is already fully loaded. Ramp-up to full additional power occurs as speed continues to increase.
• PTO activation: Power must be sensed going through the PTO drive clutch by the electronic system. When using PTO-driven implements, engine power is increased gradually when ground speed exceeds 1 km/h (0.6 mph) if the electronic system detects a correspondingly high PTO power requirement. Full power becomes available from a speed of 2.5 km/h (1.5 mph).

Optional electrical control valves (E-SCVs)

All 6M models come with the option to upgrade from mechanical to electronically controlled SCVs. To control a rear implement, up to four electrical SCVs or three electrical SCVs plus power beyond can be ordered. Each SCV features four positions – neutral, raise, lower, and float. The electrical SCVs are fully adjustable with the digital cornerpost display. Additionally, you can choose what SCVs are right for your operation with the following combinations of SCVs: 

With Compact CommandARM™ console:

• Up to four electrical SCVs possible or three plus power beyond
• Loader packages with electrical joystick available
• Mechanical SCVs are not available

With right-hand console:

• Up to three mechanical SCVs possible plus power beyond
• Up to four electrical SCVs possible or three plus power beyond
• Combination of two electrical and one or two mechanical SCVs is possible
• Loader packages with maximum of three mechanical SCVs available
• Loader packages with electrical joystick available

6120M with optional front hitch

For all 6M Series Tractors, an optional integrated John Deere Category 3N front hitch with hook-end draft links can be factory installed. The high lift capacity of 4400 kg (9,700 lb) maximum and 3300 kg (7,275 lb) through the full lift range ensures compatibility with heavy front implements and ballasts. If the tractor is not equipped with Triple-Link Suspension (TLS™), an accumulator will be installed to ensure driving comfort. The economy front hitch allows:

• Maximum uptime with quick and easy changing from folded to working position
• The operator to be highly flexible with the front ballast
• Optional availability of integrated front power take-off (PTO)

6155M with Premium light-emitting diode (LED) light package

Lights on the 6M Series Tractors have been positioned and designed to provide maximum visibility to the front, sides, and rear to increase productivity in any operating conditions. The updated cab lighting pattern provides 330 degrees of coverage while the hood lighting provides the remaining 30 degrees. You have two options to upgrade lighting with the Economy and Premium light packages available:

• Economy light package
• Two additional work lights in the front, side, and rear
• Premium light package
• Two additional work lights in the front, side, and rear
• All lights are LED lights

Both packages require the 14-V/150-amp alternator (code 8741) and 12-V/174-amp-hr battery (code 8747).

JDLink is available from the factory for all 6M Tractors. JDLink is John Deere's telematics system connecting all machines in the field with the office and mobile devices. The technology is based on a Modular Telematics Gateway (MTG) controller that collects and transmits data via cellular network using selective data points in near real-time. Information and features can be accessed through Operations Center, the JDLink tab on MyJohnDeere.com, or by using the JDLink app. JDLink also enables you to:

• Access important machine information like machine hours
• Keep track of your fleets
• Monitor work progress
• Manage logistics
• Analyze and optimize machine performance
• Receive alter SMS or email messages
• Perform remote operator support
• Automate data exchange

You can choose between two subscription levels: JDLink Access and JDLink Connect.

Removable side panels for easy access on 6120M

Side panels attached to the 6120M

6M Series Tractors have been redesigned to meet stringent reliability and serviceability requirements. Daily service requirements have been reduced and are simple to accomplish with improved accessibility to the engine. All 6M models are equipped with a 60-degree hood, and the 6110M and 6120M feature removeable side panels, allowing easy access to reduce time and make serviceability even easier. These features allow you to quickly and easily check parts like:

• Engine oil filter
• Engine fuel filter
• Coolant recovery tank
• Radiator cleanout screens
• Air cleaner

Additionally, the oil dipstick on the 6110M and 6120M allows you to check the engine oil level without opening the hood.

Redesigned to improve loader operations

6120M Tractor with 600R Loader

The 600R Loader has been redesigned to work effortlessly with the model year 2020 6110M and 6120M Tractors. In cadence with the sloped hood design of the tractor, the 600R Loader features curved booms, making an ideal tractor-loader combination. This combination also includes a 22.9-cm (9-in.) reduction in overall machine and loader length, improving forward visibility by over 2.1-m (7 ft). Pairing the model year 2020 6110M or 6120M Tractor with the 600R Loader allows visibility directly to the loader attachment, providing more efficient performance with any loader application.

Panoramic roof for increased visibility

600R Loader through 6120M Tractor panoramic roof

As the lift height of the R-Series Loaders increases, the larger panoramic roof inside the model year 2020 6110M and 6120M Tractor cabs provides additional visibility to the entire lift cycle of the loader. The 600R Loader has a lift height up to 391.2 cm (154 in.), allowing an operator to stack three bales. With the larger panoramic roof, tasks that require maximum loader height can be performed more easily.

Light-emitting diode (LED) light option for variable operating conditions

6110M Tractor and 600R Loader with LED light package

To further enhance visibility, the model year 2020 6110M/6120M Tractors and 600R Loader have the option to include LED lights. With LED lights emitting from the tractor cab and the loader boom, performing loader applications in variable operating conditions is made easier. Pairing the loader LED light option with an LED light package on the 6110M or 6120M Tractor will provide unmatched visibility to enhance operator experience during any task.
