This review is for a John Deere 6230 which is part of the 6030 series.

I bought this two years ago before the new 6000 series had come out!

I am so pleased with the overall performance of the tractor, fuel consumption is good as it's only a four cylinder! The pull is great too and it's consistent through different soil types! Road handling is to a high standard, as full visibility in the cab and with air sprung seat makes a comfortable ride! I would like to try the next tractor with front air suspension!

The layout in the cab is well structured and laid out, with everything easily and comfortably accessible!

This year I grew Duxford winter wheat as my first wheat. We managed to achieve a good yield of 9.89 t/ha, so I was really please with this.

As with the Santiago, we applied our fungicide program at the beginning and end of March and we did not encounter any issues of note.

This year I will be doing exactly the same, Duxford as my first wheat & KWS Santiago as my second. Very happy with both varieties

Have grown this for a few years now & it has now become my favourite 2nd wheat. This years harvest yielded at 9.34 t/ha.

We applied our fungicide program at the beginning and end of March. We had no disease problems whatsoever

This variety is very small stemmed so it is resistant to wind, we didn't experience any damage anyway.

I will be growing this variety again next year.
