John Deere 6515 Tractor Parts

The John Deere 6515 was introduced in 2003 as part of the John Deere 6015 series, offering a step up in power and features from the smaller models. Production continued until 2007. The 6515 is equipped with a John Deere PowerTech 4.5L turbocharged diesel engine. Engine horsepower ranged from 90 to 100, depending on the specific configuration. Transmission options typically included a SyncroPlus transmission with various speed configurations (e.g., 9F/9R, 12F/4R) offering flexibility for different tasks. Some models also featured the PowrQuad transmission for clutchless shifting. The PTO horsepower is typically around 75-85 hp, available in both 540 and 1000 RPM configurations. The hydraulic system delivers approximately 21.1 GPM, with two or three remote valves available for implement control. The 3-point hitch is a Category II hitch, providing a lift capacity of around 5,900 lbs. The 6515 was commonly used in row crop applications, hay production, livestock operations (for loader work and feeding), and light tillage. What distinguishes the 6515 from other models in the lineup is its balance of power and versatility, making it a suitable all-around tractor for mid-sized farms. Its reliability and ease of use also contributed to its popularity.
