TRACTOR TEST: The 6190 TTV is the smallest model in the latest 6 TTV series that Deutz-Fahr debuted in 2021. Under those green panels there’s a chunk of new componentry getting its first airing, alongside some longer in the tooth items. Our job? To reveal how ‘new and old’ gel in our exclusive test.

There are four models in the relatively new 6 TTV range, starting with the 141kW/192hp 6190 TTV and going up to the 170kW/230hp 6230 TTV HD. We deliberately opted for the 6190 for our test, because not only does it have a new, smaller CVT (the SDF T7340 instead of the T7540 or T7560), but also a different Dana front axle — the M50 beam instead of the M60L used on the bigger tractors. The other models also have a slightly longer 8-15cm wheelbase. Together with a small radiator pack, the 6190 may fall under the 6 series umbrella, but you can see there are some significant hardware differences to the other models.

Plenty of extra power, but…

The punch is supplied by the familiar Deutz TCD6.1 L06 six-cylinder, 6.1-litre engine with a single wastegate turbo, intercooling and an electronically controlled viscous fan. And of course the motor is Stage V compliant thanks to a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), particulate filter (DPF), selective catalytic reduction (SCR) as well as cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR).
