John Deere DirectDrive delivers 4% fuel saving

Fuel savings of up to 4%, with John Deere’s DirectDrive transmission, have been measured in test facilities and independent field tests, compared with currently available transmissions.

DirectDrive is optionally available on the latest John Deere 6R Series tractors from the 140hp 6140R to the top of the range 210hp 6210R.

It won the tractor category in the new International Machinery Manufacturers Awards (IMMA) recently presented at Cereals 2014 in England.
