John Deere Tractors and Your Peanut Crop

John Deere 6M Series Tractors

For smaller peanut operations or those running lower-capacity harvesters, the 6M Series is an excellent choice. With models ranging from 110 to 195 horsepower, these tractors provide enough muscle for fieldwork while maintaining the maneuverability needed in tight rows.

Advantages of the 6M Series during harvest:

• Strong PTO and hydraulic output to operate peanut diggers and inverters
• AutoTrac™ readiness for precise row tracking and reduced operator fatigue
• High ground clearance and tight turning radius for in-row work
• Durable construction for long days in the field

The 6M Series is a great match for growers who need dependable performance without overinvesting in more horsepower than their equipment requires.

John Deere 8 Series Tractors

For larger peanut operations using high-capacity, multi-row harvesters, the 8 Series is built to handle the heaviest workloads. This series offers advanced technology and horsepower levels starting at 230 and climbing past 400, making it ideal for covering more acres in less time.

Why the 8 Series is a favorite for big harvests:

• High horsepower and torque for demanding pulling and PTO loads
• Spacious, comfortable cab for long days in the field
• Integrated Precision Ag technology for accuracy and efficiency
• Superior hydraulic performance for modern peanut harvesting equipment

The 8 Series is the go-to choice for peanut growers who need maximum productivity from sunup to sundown.
