In its six-year life cycle, it was to prove one of the most sought-after models in Deere’s nine-model 6030 Series and that means tidy, low-hour examples are still changing hands at keen prices.
Packing 155hp - and offering up to 180hp thanks to intelligent power management - the 6.8-litre PowerTech Plus six-cylinder engine with variable geometry turbo uses cooled exhaust gas recirculation and common rail fuel injection to meet Stage 3a emissions.
At the time of manufacture it was a relatively lightweight machine which punched well above its weight, and quickly gained popularity.
The Mannheim-built 6930 retains John Deere’s proven full frame concept, modular transmission and lifelong components such as the Perma Clutch 2.
