John Deere 6010 Tractor Parts

The John Deere 6010 was introduced in 1998 as part of the John Deere '10 Series' tractors, replacing earlier models with enhanced features and updated styling. Production continued through 2001. This model features a John Deere PowerTech 4.5L (276 cu in) four-cylinder diesel engine. Engine power varies slightly depending on specific configurations, but typically falls within the 75-80 horsepower range. The transmission options include a SyncroPlus transmission with 9 forward and 3 reverse gears, or a PowrQuad transmission with 16 forward and 16 reverse gears, offering flexibility for different field conditions. The 6010 boasts a PTO horsepower of around 65-70 hp with a standard 540 RPM PTO, and an optional 540/1000 RPM PTO. Its hydraulic system delivers around 16.9 GPM, supporting multiple remote hydraulic outlets. It is equipped with a Category II 3-point hitch, providing a lift capacity of approximately 4,850 lbs. Commonly used for row crop work, hay production, livestock operations, and light tillage, the 6010 distinguishes itself from smaller utility tractors with its increased power and robust build, while remaining more compact and maneuverable than larger frame tractors.
