The new e19™ represents the ultimate solution for heavy draft and field work while keeping comfort and versatility high. Unlike basic automation, e19™ doesn’t just shift gears—it intelligently adjusts gear shifting and selection based on multiple tractor inputs, ensuring optimal transmission-engine management. Operate e19™ like a stepless transmission – no clutch pedal needed. In direct comparison to CommandQuad™ Plus it convinces with 5% less fuel usage delivering at the same time 5% more ha/hr.
The Hill Inclination Sensor adds terrain awareness to gear selection. It optimises start gears, directional changes, and shifting on slopes—reducing operator input and boosting efficiency in challenging conditions.
Your drive. Your rules: Switch seamlessly between drive pedal and drive lever operation. In Auto Mode, a true engine-transmission management always chooses the optimal gear and engine speed, keeping comfort high and fuel consumption low. Command your desired ground speed with cruise control and watch your tractor keep its speed – even under varying load.
With e19™, you have the flexibility to select from two engine start gears—ideal for headland/field operation or full/empty transport. Shift smoothly between auto and manual modes at the touch of a button for maximum control. And with the CommandX™ Plus joystick, two customisable set speeds elevate your driving experience to the next level.
Accelerate like never before. Skip Shift jumps multiple gears for rapid speed changes, while Scroll Shift keeps clutches partially engaged—for even faster, smarter transitions, reduced heat, and less wear—just like premium car transmissions.
Approach intersections or stops effortlessly with Coast Mode. The tractor shifts to neutral and coasts to 0 km/h, ensuring comfort and control.
Reduced 1.620 rpm engine speed at 50 km/h max. speed makes the e19™ economical and quiet on the road.

AUTOPOWR™
The well-proven AutoPowr transmission is the ideal choice for a versatile allrounder. Be it application work, transport or tillage – the AutoPowr™ transmission shines at every task. AutoPowr™ delivers seamless acceleration across the entire speed range and precise low-speed control—making it the ideal transmission for loader work.
AutoPowr™ is a hydro-mechanical transmission that delivers stepless and continuous power at speeds between 30 m/h and 50 km/h and maintains the selected speed by automatically responding to changing load conditions.
Once running at maximum road speed, engine rpm automatically drops to the minimum level required to maintain that speed – reducing noise and saving fuel. 50 km/h is maintained at 1,630 rpm, 40 km/h at 1,300 rpm.
AutoPowr™ delivers 100% mechanical power at the following working speeds: 3.5 km/h (heavy draft), 11 km/h (light draft), 22 km/h (heavy transport) and 47 km/h (light transport). This results in superb transmission efficiency, close to that of mechanical transmissions. In fact, AutoPowr™ is always using more than 60% of the available mechanical power.
Operate AutoPowr™ using the linear lever on the right-hand console or integrated in the Compact CommandARM™, or with the new CommandX™ Plus joystick.
Transport Efficiency with AutoPowr™
AUTOQUAD™ PLUS
The AutoQuad™ Plus transmission is available in 2 versions: 20/20 or 24/24 depending on the model you select. It offers automatic gear shifting and makes group shifting a breeze with the convenient declutch button on the shift lever. Speed matching between groups minimises wear while smoothing your ride and the optional 50 km/h version keeps you moving fast and efficiently.
For the 6M 95 – 6M 155 models a creeper option with speeds as low as 72 m/h at 1,000 rpm is available.
Ride comfort
MECHANICAL CAB SUSPENSION
Say good-bye to irritating vibrations and drive all day with relaxed focus. Our maintenance free mechanical cab suspension pays for itself with increased driver productivity and best-in-class comfort.
A long day in the cab is hard work. Shocks and vibration cause fatigue. Proper suspension alleviates these effects and helps keep operators alert.
The John Deere full frame design is a solid platform that absorbs, and resists loads and shocks from the wheels, heavy implements and front loaders. To further minimise the fatigue and stress caused by unpleasant vibrations, 6M tractors can be specified with optional mechanical cab suspension. The standard front axle delivers superior on-road handling – Triple Link Suspension (TLS™) is optionally available.
TRIPLE LINK SUSPENSION
TLS™ – one short acronym with lots of benefits.
– 7% more power to the ground than with a rigid axle
– A long draft member for better draft performance
– Hitch sensing system synchronisation to compensate power hop effects under heavy pull
– Self-levelling with 100 mm suspension travel
– Automatic axle sensitivity and suspension rate adjustment
– Optional brake discs in front axle hubs for more braking capacity
