The John Deere 6230 Utility Tractor is a highly customizable machine that with the right attachments can handle virtually any job on your farm or property. The JD 6230 draws its power from a home-built PowerTech 4045HL280 motor. This turbocharged diesel engine is a 4-cylinder model and has a displacement of 4. 5 liters. The engine is liquid cooled. The size of the refrigeration system depends on whether it has an open operator’s station or cab. With the cab, the cooling system has a capacity for 29. 1 liters of water, while with the open cockpit, the cooling system requires 26. 5 liters of water. The engine has a power of 94 CV.
Like many of the JD 6000 line tractors, the John Deere 6230 features multiple transmissions. These include a PowrReverser transmission that gives you 16 forward and reverse gears or a PowrQuad transmission that also gives you 16 forward and reverse gears. If you’re not satisfied with these options, you can choose a SynchroPlus transmission that gives the JD 6230 12 forward and 4 speeds in reverse or a different PowrQuad gearbox that gives you 24 forward and reverse gears.
If the JD 6230 does not convince you, you can opt for another JD tractor, such as the John Deere 6130D or the John Deere 6140D. The gearbox isn’t the only aspect of the machine you have a choice in. You can also add ballast at multiple points (front, rear, wheels) as well as various lighting packages that will give you better visibility at night. All this without forgetting the huge amount of implements that can be installed on the category 2 3-point hitch located at the rear of the JD 6230.
