John deere 6200 gearboxes

Would have thought all 100 series John Deere's only came with RHS and LHS was only 10 series onwards.

Have a RHS 6400 here as loader tractor.Find it grand as you can change F/R with your elbow without taking hand off joystick.Perhaps years of practice.Mine is early 6400 with wedding cake lift dial,older type PUH and cat 3 backend.Has the 24x16 powerquad box which was rebuilt at c.16k hours .Somewhere about 22k hours on the tractor now with engine done about 3 years ago.

Have LHS on another JD and its probably handier but not a major difference for me but then again am used to it at this stage.With RHS its left hand on wheel and left hand does joystick and shuttle whilst LHS its left hand doing wheel and shuttle while right hand on joystick.

Oddly enough the RH shuttle takes less effort to move than the LH in those, as the RH setup has more leverage on the lever.

You need to find out if they are Premium or SE models.

The RH reverser is likely a Premium model, did it have 4 front roof lights recessed into the front of the cab roof??

The LH reverser is most likely an SE with just 2 roof lights on front (unless the LH reverser is electric in which case its a premium)

Thus the RH reverser could be most desirable if its a Premium model

That's an SE as I mentioned.

Has the RH reverser 4 roof lights on front?

It just confirms that the LH reverser is an SE.

The RH reverser is a Premium and is a higher spec.

It will have a higher capacity hydraulic pump, better brakes, heavier back end, corner post exhaust and other stuff I forget because it's a long time since I worked on them frequently

The brakes were done maybe 7 or 8 years ago.Really should be done again as hard on brakes at bales I would think.Paid 15k for it with 7k hours which was many years ago.Fitted loader on it straight after purchase.Has air seat about 2 years and done all cab mountings at the same time so not too rough to sit in.On 16.9x24 and 18.6x38 tyres.Both digital and analog clock says it does 47k which local speed monitor at the school agrees with.

They are a nice little loader tractor if a little dated nowadays.Not too sure how much the difference between a 6400 and a 62 would be.Mine has cat3 backend and lift and its usually two wraps on the back and one one the loader stacking.Will lift 2 fusion bales ticking over with the loader but not really a great idea for either the loader,the tractor front axle or the drivers nerves on rough ground.

I have a 6210 se with a JD 583 loader on it. It's a ideal for our setup here. It's a left hand clutchless shuttle non electric. Have it 6 years. We got the garage to do the head gasket on it before we got it at 7500 hrs as we were told it was a problem with them when they got to 8 or 9000 hours. Round 9000 or so on it now. The only major problem we had so far is the drive shaft between engine and gearbox broke. We plan to hang onto for a few years yet.
