JD 6030 tractor weight
|
Anyone out there care to share just how light you can get one to be? I know certain publishings show it ranges anywhere from 14k to 20k in farm trim. Just curious if the stock frame ,rear housing, trans , and hood where to be kept, how light can one be made using a 619 in it? |

10000 fairly easily. you will need to loose the factory front axle and big cast piece under the fuel tank |

Do you need a wheatland front axle? |

Is 9500 out of the question? If we really started going to aluminum parts and put some work into the axles and frame? |

I have been looking around for a wheatland front axle or possible lighter front axle. |

10K are you sh%*ng me/!? I assume you have already removed the hydro's and pto? no wonder there getting people nervous around here! Thank god Im a John Deere puller. A 6030 is a pissed off bull out in the field in stock trim,let alone putting fuel to it and getting around 10k that's awesome. thanks for the info |

10000 with no pto no radiator no hyd. no rockshaft top, with combine front axle. With the factory wheatland front axle you might get down to 11000 |

tn6030.
Could a 5020 be used as a replacement if a 6030 couldn't be had. What would be the advantages/ disadvantages? |

Yes, they are geared a little slower but you never have the perfect ratio with any of them. They are non turbo engines,small inj pump. some 6030's are needle bearinged
already. I would say most of them are 20's with 30 decals anyway. |

Is there any special mods for the 619 to fit properly? Rules might change up here in the northeast allowing the 619 in hot farm. Is it safe to say that a 619 in a 5020 can make 11,500 and still have movable weight? |

yes 619 bolts right up .11500 will be easy |
Re: JD 6030 tractor weight

You stated that a 6030 has a faster geared trans than the 5020, Do you know how much of a "real world" difference, ratio's are French to me. Can tire size be looked at for help? |

Yes, most are built out of a 5020 . a little less weight and slightly slower are the main diff . |

Re: JD 6030 tractor weight vs 4630
|
I undersand that the 6030/5020's except the 619 and pull real well once dialed in. Is there a reason no one is running 4630's or 4840's? I know that they except and have the 466. Is it a weight issue or are the smaller 4430-4455 just the better way to go. Im only asking because 4630 are coming for sale cheap versus a 4430. I do realize that they are quite a bit heavier in the rearend? |
