One of the most popular tractors in John Deere’s line-up, the legendary 6M, has been given a major update for MY2025 with more speed and power across a 13-model range which, for the first time, includes four models above 200hp and a 50kph transmission.

John Deere production systems manager Stephanie Gersekowski said the update will give customers never-before-seen customisation to create the ideal mid-size utility tractor.
“The new 6M builds on its reputation as the ready-for-anything workhorse of the farm by adding more optionality, so our customers can build the tractor that perfectly matches the unique needs of their operation,” Ms Gersekowski said.
“We have taken some of the key features of our larger machines and introduced them to the mid-size tractor market, and answered the calls of those wanting extra speed for transportation with the new option of 50kph transmissions.”
New styling
One of the first changes many will notice is the updated styling. The sleek, modern refresh includes the new flag design and louver shape.
The name and numbering conventions have also been aligned with the 6R, 7R, 8R and 9R tractors, which display the series separately from the rated engine horsepower.
The new 6M has five frame sizes and 13 models from 95hp to 250hp.

More power
The new 6M will be available in five frame sizes and span 13 models ranging from 95hp to 250hp to tackle anything from mowing and baling to feeding livestock. For the first time four models will be 200hp or above.
In addition, Intelligent Power Management comes standard in all machines, except for Tier 2 models (6M 140 and 6M 110), granting a 20hp boost for many typical operations that use rear power take-off (PTO) in high-power applications or transport.
New 50kph transmission
Based on customer feedback, the new 6M offers 50kph capability in the AutoQuad, CommandQuad and AutoPowr IVT Transmissions.
AutoPowr IVT has also been extended to all 6M tractors, with the exception of the 6MH and the Tier 2 models, allowing operators to change speed seamlessly from low creeper speeds to as high as 50 kilometres per hour during transport.
More features
Other features of the new 6M include:
Sloped hood design (6M 95, 6M 105 and 6M 125) for excellent visibility and maneuverability.
Availability in single or dual rear wheels, or larger tyres, for better traction and power to the ground.
Optional reversible fan technology to quickly clean radiator screens from the comfort of the cab.
Cornerpost display featuring state-of-the-art instrumentation, integrated connectivity, scalable precision technology, and more.
“The redesigned 6M has everything you know and trust from this dependable all-rounder but with more power, more smarts and additional features to make it a go-to tractor for a diversity of farms including dairy and beef operations,” Ms Gersekowski said.
