The loader technology package prep provides the installed harness and controller to further install a hardware bundle that has four key features to make material handling easier and more efficient. The package is only for mid-model year 2022 and newer 6R 110 to 6R 250 Tractors when equipped with the electric joystick and mid- valves.
Technology package hardware unlocks the following loader features when DWS option code is ordered with Loader Technology package prep.
Optional Loader Technology hardware if equipped (code 9661)
This feature moves the loader boom and bucket automatically to easily preset positions. The operator can save boom upper height, lower height and 2 different bucket angles for both settings A and B. With a push, pull, left or right motion of the joystick just past a built in joystick detent to activate, then the loader automatically returns the boom and bucket to the preset position. This feature works great for an upper height to clear wagon and a lower bucket angle set for dumping then returning bucket back to zero, then lower loader back to a transport position. Re-zeroing implements is easy with a zero soft button on the RTP run page.
Mid-model year 2022 6R Tractor E-ICV joystick
RTP can easily be switched off if manual operation is preferred.
This feature levels the attachment parallel to the horizon, while conventional loader leveling systems maintain the same angle as the tractor. This means that when operating in hilly conditions, waterways, or in and out of buildings on the farm, the pallet fork, bucket, or other attachment is actively moved into a horizontal position. If this behavior is not desired by the operator, it can be turned off in the tractor display. The attachment is then leveled to the tractor if equipped with a leveling feature such as mechanical self-leveling (MSL). LTH is compatible with both self-leveling and non-self-leveling loaders
The DWS feature displays the current weight loaded on the attachment, such as a bucket, spear, or forks. The tractor does not need to stop for weighing, it’s constantly providing a weight reading allowing the operator to fill bucket to the required target weight without interrupting for a separate weighing cycle. Record weight with count as needed with a push of the joystick button.
It also allows the operator to create and save single material groups such as bales, feed, or fertilizer. Also, create and save a material group of up to 6 different materials. Display tracks single material group with section from material dropdown with record of count, minimum, maximum and average weight. The weighing system even registers multiple units. For example, in single material group you can count bales by 1, 2, or 3 with every loading cycle.
Operating the material group from the DWS run page by the selection of different stored material groups. Selecting the material is as easy as selecting one of listed materials and record the weight as you are loading. Weight will be recorded and count down to zero then a green checkmark will appear next to the material signifying that it has been completed, repeat until all materials have been added. A bar diagram and displayed values clearly show how much weight of the current component is still needed to achieve its target weight.
Tractor showing the loader camera image
The loader camera provides visibility to the loader carrier and surroundings. The hooks of the carrier are visible to facilitate connecting attachments. When working with pallet forks, the fork tips are visible to assist picking up pallets with ease. The video image is shown in the built-in display of the 6R Tractor.
DWS is a must for windy feed yards because you can weigh your lightweight commodities in the shed without blowing feed across your yard when feathering over feed wagon getting to a target weight.
ESL maintains bucket positioning in any range of the boom. It can be easily activated and deactivated from the run pages. Toggling between ESL and LTH is as simple as selecting which leveling operation is needed through the run page on display. ESL is compatible with both self-leveling and non-self-leveling loaders. ESL is compatible with both self-leveling and non-self-leveling loaders.
The camera is factory-installed in the loader factory; the wiring harness is protected inside the boom. The camera angle can be adjusted if needed. It is possible that a different position of the camera is desired, such as showing the contents of a bucket or the side of a snow blade. For such unique desires, spare cable length is available to enable customized camera positions.

NOTE: Materials buckets are not compatible with replaceable cutting edges or digging teeth.
Five-tine round bale/silage grapple with grille
All of the H-Series Loaders use the same five-tine pin-on grapple. The advantages of this grapple are:
High-performance operators will choose the five-tine grapple for its increased durability and load-carrying capacity. Advantages include:
The grapple is equipped with twin cylinders to provide excellent clamping force.
NOTE: The center tine of the five-tine grapple is slightly off center to avoid contact with the placement of optional digging teeth.
NOTE: The grapple is not compatible with materials or high-volume buckets.
600R Loader with light-emitting diode (LED) lights
To further enhance visibility, the 600R Loader has the option to include LED lights. With LED lights mounted onto each side of the loader boom, performing loader applications in variable operating conditions is made easier. Pairing the loader LED light option with an LED light package on the 6110M or 6120M Tractor will provide unmatched visibility to enhance operator experience during any task.

The hood guard's basic function is to:
Compatibility:
It is highly recommended to purchase a front weight bracket when using a loader. The hood guard is designed to be slightly rearward of the front weight bracket. This is so the front weight bracket is the first point of contact against lower stationary objects. The height of the hood guard allows better protection for the top of the hood and allows operators to see the top of the hood guard.
Large ballast box is available to carry additional ballast for greater tractor stability.

Two-button activation for hydraulic remote implement latch
The hydraulic remote implement latch allows implements to be changed quickly and efficiently. An operator can activate the device from the cab by simultaneously pressing the two buttons installed on the right-hand side of the operator’s station. Switching from one attachment to the next can now be accomplished quickly with limited movements of the loader and without leaving the operator’s seat.
The hydraulic remote implement latch is powered by a hydraulic accumulator, which collects and stores excess oil generated through the normal operation of the boom (curl, dump, lift, lower). To activate the device, the two switches installed in the right-hand side of the operator’s station are pressed simultaneously by the operator. This action releases the oil, and unlocks the implement.
This feature does not require a third-function hydraulic system.
Electronic loader joystick
The second generation of industry-exclusive RTP Gen 2 with ESL provides a practical solution for operators with daily, repetitive, material handling needs. RTP allows the operator to set different position points for the loader with the flick of the wrist, activating the detent in electronic joysticks. With the second generation of RTP, operators can set application profiles rather than entering position points each time an application is in use. RTP Gen 2 with ESL removes repetition and fatigue from loader applications.
