Last year, John Deere announced the appearance on the Ukrainian market of models with power up to 135 hp. pp., which at an affordable price are characterized by ease of operation and high reliability. And these tractors - series 6B - finally appeared on our fields.
Some users of John Deere equipment often said in their reviews that they would like to see a simple but durable machine. This is how the idea of creating an all-wheel drive tractor of the 6B series arose, especially for those agricultural firms that need a small machine to perform agricultural work with a heavy load. The designers took into account the basic wishes of the clients and tried to make sure that they did not have to pay for those functions that the farm could do without. At the same time, depending on individual preferences, everyone can choose a Standard or Premium package.
Despite the simplicity of the tractor design, the high quality of John Deere remains the same. This concerns not only performance, but also reliability, operator comfort, cost of ownership and design.
John Deere 6B Series tractors are equipped with reliable and fuel-efficient 95-horsepower PowerTech four-cylinder engines. pp., 115 l. With. and 135 l. pp., which work perfectly on Ukrainian diesel fuel. Tractors are designed to work with a variety of working equipment, including implements for tillage and sowing, forage harvesting units and specialized equipment. It can work in the field, in the pasture or in the yard. It is used for transportation and work with a front loader.
Although a manual transmission is used here, it is easy to handle. Fully synchronized gears ensure effortless shifting, so the 6B tractor will immediately feel as easy to drive as a car.
Taking into account the individual operating mode, you can choose one of four transmission options: 12 x 4 gears with a speed of 30 km/h or 24 x 8 gears with a two-speed electro-hydraulic transmission and a speed of 30 or 40 km/h.
Superior efficiency and performance are provided by a maintenance-free wet clutch, included in the Standard (6135B model only) and Premium packages. Liquid-cooled disc brakes with mechanical drive allow you to move safely even on slopes. Trailer air brakes are available as an optional feature.
It is possible to switch the standard 540/1000 PTO drive with 6/21 splines on and off from the operator's seat using the electro-hydraulic system (Premium package). With additional power take-off options (front power take-off, 8-spline power take-off for 95 hp), the 6B tractor offers even more flexibility.
The tractor is given more versatility by its hydraulic system with adjustable pressure and flow rate of up to 60 l/min. This allows the 6B tractor to work with almost any attachment. It uses a reliable hydraulic pump that maintains high performance of all attachments. Up to three selective control valves can be installed when purchasing the Premium package or additional features.
The new 6B tractor boasts a lifting capacity of up to 3170 kg, so you can safely not only mount heavy attachments, but also transport, for example, a fertilizer spreader loaded to the brim.
There is not much to say about the comfort of the cabin, because this is a John Deere tractor. The 6B tractor cab has everything needed to make the operator's work enjoyable and efficient. It is roomy, extremely comfortable and ergonomic, and has plenty of space to store food and drinks. The mechanical suspension seat with armrests ensures comfort even when driving on uneven surfaces. All controls are arranged ergonomically and are easily accessible.
An amazing feature of the John Deere 6B series tractors is that they can be serviced by farm operators right on site. Only, unlike old post-Soviet tractors, 6B tractors are much more reliable. The fact is that the machine consists of high-quality mechanical components, and possible sources of malfunction are reduced to a minimum from the very beginning.
Ease of maintenance is another strong point of the 6B series tractor. The unique modular design helps minimize the financial and time costs associated with replacing major components. In addition, it provides access to all regular service points without having to open the one-piece hood. In this way, all necessary operations are carried out easily and quickly, and mostly without tools. In any case, if something happens, John Deere dealers will always help, whose centers in Ukraine are located quite close to the user.
It turns out that those who say that John Deere is just complex and expensive equipment are wrong. With the introduction of the 6B, proven John Deere reliability and performance will be available to many.

Model performance indicators
John Deere 318D loaders with technical characteristics that meet all user requirements are able to demonstrate fairly good performance at the work site. Due to their small overall dimensions, loaders are able to move in the narrowest spaces, including on sidewalks. The New Holland L218 is also sized to navigate narrow aisles.
Wide tires and low specific gravity ensure even distribution of the load on the surface.
That is why the equipment has high maneuverability and does not destroy the road surface even at maximum load. In one pass, a loader of this model is capable of moving up to 0.4 cubic meters of bulk cargo or up to 800 kg of trailed cargo. The average specific fuel consumption of a John Deere 318D loader is about 6-10 liters, depending on the speed of work and weather conditions. In the winter season, at sub-zero temperatures, the equipment is operated together with special installed equipment: a snow clearer or a roller with a brush.
Device Features
The modern John Deere 318D loader has a universal mini design, which is mounted on a powerful supporting metal frame using additional reinforcement elements. The main frame dimensions are 3120mm x 1470mm x 1980mm. Supports for the working body, a driver's cabin and a power unit with a driving chassis are installed on the main frame. The bridges are secured using power bolts that are screwed into prepared areas. The operator is located in the center of the machine, while the cab assembly is protected by a tubular metal frame with a side mesh. The window openings have thick glass with a special thermal film that effectively protects the operator on sunny days.
Key design features:
- high frame strength margin;
- powerful support elements for attachments;
- simple location of all nodes;
- protected operator's cabin;
