John Deere 6140R Tractor Parts

6140R parts and accessories

The John Deere 6140R, manufactured from 2012 to 2015, is a versatile agricultural tractor known for its reliability and performance. Powered by a John Deere PowerTech 6.8L diesel engine producing approximately 140 engine horsepower and around 115 PTO horsepower, this tractor quickly became popular among farmers for its adaptability to a variety of tasks, from row crop work to hay production.

The John Deere 6140R was part of the John Deere 6R series, introduced to replace the earlier 6030 series tractors. Production ran from 2012 to 2015. At its heart lies a John Deere PowerTech 6.8L 6-cylinder diesel engine, delivering around 140 horsepower. This engine provided ample power for a range of applications. The transmission options included the AutoQuad Plus (powershift), CommandQuad Plus (powershift), and DirectDrive (IVT) transmissions, offering varying levels of automation and control. PTO horsepower is rated at approximately 115, available in both 540 and 1000 RPM configurations. The hydraulic system has a capacity of around 30 GPM, feeding multiple rear remotes for implements. It features a Category III 3-point hitch with a lift capacity of over 9,000 lbs. The 6140R was commonly used for row crop operations, hay baling, livestock feeding, and medium-duty tillage. What sets it apart from other models in the lineup is its balance of power, features, and maneuverability, making it a jack-of-all-trades tractor for many farming operations. Its slightly smaller footprint compared to larger 6R models made it more agile in tighter spaces.
