3331 | Three electronic SCVs – premium | Premium couplers with high-pressure relief lever. |
Mechanical control valves
Overview The tractor may be equipped with one type of mechanical control valves: premium (450 Series). Premium-couplers control valves also have an additional lock function (position 3), which holds the control lever in the raise or lower position until the pressure in the oil circuit has reached a predetermined value (e.g., when the control cylinder has reached its end position). In position 2, the control lever returns to neutral as soon as it is released and is the setting for normal hydraulic operation. If an implement is connected, pressure connection must be connected to the lower coupler. With standard SCVs, a valve prevents sudden loss of pressure caused by leakage when the engine is shut off. On premium SCVs, the likelihood of leakage is further diminished.- Position 1
- Position 2
- Position 3
- Hydraulic oil flow control
Electrical control valves
Overview The tractor may be equipped with the premium (450 Series) control valves. All main characteristics can be controlled by the CommandCenter™ display.Hydraulic control options
Hydraulic setup
Shortcut button right-hand console Simply push the hydraulic symbol on the right-hand side console or the CommandCenter and the CommandCenter display shows a setup menu to:- Monitor valve status – detent, float, or neutral
- Adjust maximum flow and detent (combine for both direction or separate extent and retract adjustment)
- Time detent – this is particularly useful when repeat SCV operations are performed, such as lowering a mower-conditioner plow or cycling planter markers.
- Continuous flow detent – this is particularly useful when a hydraulic motor is used, such as on an air seeder.
- Linear means that the distance travelled by the SCV/ICV corresponds to the distance travelled by the control lever/multifunction lever
- Progressive means that initially the distance travelled by the SCV/ICV is less than that travelled by the control lever/multifunction lever (giving a more sensitive start to the movement)

Technology
|
- A constant power range of 2100 rpm down to 1500 rpm
- Power bulge of 10 percent
- Greater tractor productivity
- Responsive power reducing the need to downshift the transmission
Series turbochargers
Overview The PowerTech PSS 4.5L and 6.8L (275-cu in. and 415-cu in.) engines utilize two turbochargers – a VGT and a fixed geometry turbocharger, providing the torque rise and engine response needed to meet varying load conditions. Fresh air is first drawn into the low-pressure fixed geometry turbocharger and compressed to a higher pressure. The compressed, higher pressure air is then drawn into the high-pressure VGT, where the air is further compressed. By splitting the work between two turbochargers, both can operate at peak efficiency and at slower rotating speeds.Engine control unit (ECU)
Overview The ECU uses signal inputs from sensors and pre-programmed performance modeling to control critical engine functions such as fuel quantity, injection timing, air-to-fuel ratio, multiple fuel injections, amount of cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), and a host of other control parameters.- Deliver high power density
- More low-speed torque and responsiveness to meet varying load conditions
- Increased low rpm torque
- Quicker response to load
- Increased peak torque
- Improved fluid economy
- Improved performance at high altitudes
VGT
Overview The VGT is electronically controlled and actuates the turbo vanes as required to maintain peak engine performance. The turbocharger’s vanes are in the exhaust flow. The opening or closing of the vanes changes the outlet volume and airflow speed against the turbocharger turbine. When exhaust flow is low, the vanes are partially closed. This partial closure increases the pressure against the turbine blades to make the turbocharger spin faster and generate more boost pressure. The ability to keep the airflow at optimum levels provides more consistent engine boost pressure and the ability to respond to load quickly across the entire engine rpm range. This system is without the turbo lag that can be found on some engines.Air-to-air after cooling
Overview Air-to-air after cooling lowers the intake manifold air temperature and provides more efficient cooling while reducing cylinder firing pressure and temperatures for greater engine reliability. Since lower temperature air is denser, a higher volume of air flows into cylinders so the engine is capable of meeting the increasing horsepower demands. Lowering the intake manifold and cylinder temperatures also aid in lowering the combustion temperature, which lowers the NOx produced as a result. Benefits- Higher horsepower
- Less NOx production
HPCR fuel injection system
Overview Every PowerTech PSS 4.5L and 6.8L (275-cu in. and 415-cu in.) engine utilizes a HPCR fuel system to efficiently supply fuel to injectors. The high-pressure fuel pump instantly responds to requirements for more or less fuel flow or pressure. This electronically controlled, high-pressure pump delivers pressure on demand according to the application requirements. Pressure on demand ensures an efficient injection system resulting in high-injection pressure independent of engine speed.- Instantly respond to load changes reducing the need to change gears
- Improved fluid economy
- Optimized fluid economy
- Maximum engine performance
- Number of injections
- Fuel pressure in the common rail
- Start of injection
- Duration of injection
Lighting options provide maximum visibility in every direction
Overview
Lights on the 6R Series Tractors have been positioned and designed to provide maximum visibility to the front, sides, and rear of the tractor to increase productivity in any operating condition.

Non-John Deere guidance compatibility activation
With the non-John Deere guidance system compatibility activation, third-party guidance systems can be used with John Deere steering system components such as the steering valve, wheel angle sensor, and steering control unit found in 6R, 7R, 8R, 9R, and 9RX Tractors. For model year 2011 to 2019, 7R/8R/9R with ActiveCommand Steering (ACS™), 8RT, 9RT, or 9RX Tractors, see CCMS solution 118854.
The activation from John Deere enables communication between the non-John Deere guidance system and the tractor. Tractor owners who are interested in this technology should consult with a guidance system supplier for compatibility information as additional hardware, harnesses, and software from the supplier is also required for a fully functional system.
The chart below details which tractors will require this activation to operate a non-John Deere guidance system.
*6R Tractors also require iTEC™ headland management system (in base on Waterloo-produced 6Rs and optional equipment on Mannheim-produced 6Rs produced before model year 2015).
AUNZ Dealers Note: Mannheim 6R iT4 and 6R FT4 both MY17 and earlier will require the iTEC Headland Management System kit. 6230R and 6250R machines are the exception as the software is already in base.

Optimize John Deere Section Control performance
Section Control improves placement of agricultural inputs and reduces operator fatigue by automatically turning implement sections on and off. Section Control functionality is part of the Gen 4 CommandCenter™ Premium activation, 4640 Premium subscription, and 4240 Section Control and Data Sync subscription, allowing growers to automatically control up to 255 sections.
Section Control performance tuning enables operators to tune planter mechanical delay on and off times to the seed in the last outer headland row when used with planters. In planting operations, the performance tuning system is designed to adjust mechanical delay on and off times so that seed is placed at the intersection of two perpendicular passes. For other Section Control enabled operations, performance tuning places product at the coverage boundary.
Plant-to-row functionality allows producers to customize the in-line skip or overlap observed at the intersection of a perpendicular planting pass. Default Performance Tuning settings command the planters mechanical delay times to place seed at the intersection of the last outer headland row. For example, producers who want a 15.2-cm (6-in.) skip to allow the corn head snoot to pass between rows would set a 15.2-cm (6-in.) skip within the Seed Placement Settings.
To understand application performance more easily, the Section Control diagnostic table has been added. From the table, operators can easily identify the Section Control commanded state; this shows if sections are on or why the section is commanded off.
For example, if a section was over an area that has previous coverage and is outside of an exterior headland boundary, the diagnostic page will only display the exterior headland boundary. This page is intended to be used during operation for diagnostics, not when stationary. If attempting to use while stationary, all sections will show as off, with the reason indicating that the machine is below the minimum speed threshold.
- For compatibility information, reference Generation 4 Display compatibility.
- Reducing seed costs by an average savings of 4.3 percent (see reference below).
- Optimizing yield by preventing double application of seed that studies suggest reduces inputs between 1 to 12 percent yield loss (see reference below).
- Reducing operator fatigue, allowing for more operational hours in the field
- Section Control tuning
- Plant-to-row capabilities
- On/off shortcut key
- Section status module
- Ability to turn boundaries off for Section Control while continuing to use them for documentation and Field Locator
- Section Control diagnostic table
Flexible operation with the section status module
Using layout manager, the section status module can be placed on any run page the operator would like, allowing them to monitor Section Control performance from any screen. Depending on operator preference, the implement screens can also be viewed using the split-screen ISOBUS implement modules.Plant-to-row enables additional customization of Section Control performance
Turn Section Control on or off from any run page
If an operator chooses to use the Section Control shortcut as one of their shortcut buttons, they can quickly turn Section Control off for manual implement operation from any run page. Operators can configure the Section Control on/off shortcut button in layout manager.Boundaries and Section Control
Section Control is also capable of preventing application of inputs outside of a field boundary, inside an interior field boundary, or outside of a headland boundary. Boundaries can be created by manually driving the perimeter, from coverage created within the John Deere Operations Center and sent to the 4200 or 4600 CommandCenter Display/4240 or 4640 Universal Display, or can be imported from a GreenStar™ 3 2630 Display, APEX™ software, or another Gen 4 display.- Enabling headlands allows operators to plant the headlands after the interior of the field has been planted.
- Turning boundaries off provides operators with the flexibility to apply product outside of the field boundary while continuing to use the boundary for field totals, documentation, or field location.
Section Control diagnostics
Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation (AEF) certified ISOBUS TC-SC implement compatibility
AEF ISOBUS Task Controller Section Control (TC-SC) compatible implements utilize the Gen 4 4200/4600 CommandCenter and 4640/4240 Universal Display as a virtual terminal that serves as the operator interface for the implement. Section Control functionality is capable of automatically controlling the sections on AEF ISOBUS TC-SC compliant implements. Implement compatibility can be checked using the database available at the AEF website.Display compatibility
