- High clearance protects yields and quality in high-value crops
- Creeper transmission matches field speed needed for harvesting crews
OLATHE, Kan. — John Deere has added the 6120EH Tractor to its lineup to meet the needs of high-value crop growers who require high clearance and reduced speeds to match the speed of field workers.
"High-value crop production requires the ability to pull implements and conduct harvesting operations over rows of varying widths without damaging the crop," said Dennis Ogle, marketing manager for John Deere. "The 6120EH provides up to 30 inches of drawbar ground clearance to avoid damaging the plant or roots during applications such as cultivating, spraying, transplanting and harvest."
In addition, specialty operations that include vegetables and fruit farms demand extra-slow tractor speeds that traditional transmissions may not be able to attain.
