Engine
The 6130R uses a 4.5L John Deere PowerTech PSS 4-cylinder diesel engine. It is stronger and more advanced than older utility tractor engines, but also more emissions-system dependent.
Hydraulics
The closed-center hydraulic system gives the 6130R strong loader and implement performance. Standard hydraulic flow is 30 gpm / 114 L/min, with a 41 gpm / 155 L/min optional pump.
Weight and Stability
At 13,428 to 13,668 lb, the 6130R has serious weight for traction, loader stability, road work, and larger implements.
Oil Capacity
The John Deere 6130R takes 16 L / 4.2 gal / 16.9 qt of engine oil with the filter.
Summary
The John Deere 6130R is a serious 6R Series tractor with 130 HP, 101 PTO HP, a 4.5L PowerTech PSS engine, 30 gpm standard hydraulic flow, and 16.9 quarts of engine oil capacity. It is built for demanding farm, loader, transport, and PTO work.
