Mid pack 6R has enduring six appeal: Popular greens

摘要

Summary John Deere has sold large numbers of 6150R and later 6155R tractors in the UK and Ireland, with a buoyant used market. Although it is good to have a broad choice of models to choose from it follows that it can become hard to decide when faced with several tractors that are of the spec you want. A key point is to look beyond the tractor and think ahead. How long you want to keep it, how much work you expect to do and your attitude towards servicing will play a part in how to proceed. A later model with the balance of a PowerGuard warranty remaining can make a solid buy, but it may add a premium to what you pay. At the other end of the scale, those who recognise just how durable a well-cared for 6150R or 6155R can be, and are prepared to keep on top of maintenance, may wish to consider a higher hour tractor. If you plan to keep the tractor for several years, high hours and the impact upon deprecation becomes less relevant. Ask the owner of a good 6930 about their tractor's dependability and its current value and it may give you the reassurance you need. The key is a used buy will only be as dependable as the care you put into its use and maintenance. If you look after any essentially sound 6150R or 155R it should repay with dependable service. These tractors are popular for a reason. Thanks to Ollie Bensted-Smith, Farol, Oxfordshire, Stuart Vanstone, Mason Kings, Dulverton and Ben Conway, Ben Burgess, Norwich and John Deere UK.
