AL172781 John Deere Product Overview
AL172781 John Deere filter is a high-performance primary air filter engineered for agricultural machinery. First, it is purpose-built for the JOHN DEERE 6130 tractor (production from 2009-10, 4×2 configuration, powered by JOHN DEERE 4045HL280/287 63kW/86HP diesel engine) to deliver reliable engine intake protection. Besides, it uses premium PowerCore® cellulose media to achieve an exceptional 99.95% efficiency rating, fully complying with ISO 5011 test standards.
This obround-style filter effectively blocks fine dust, crop debris, and field contaminants that cause engine wear. Moreover, it serves as a direct replacement for JOHN DEERE AL150285, simplifying maintenance for mixed farm fleets. In addition, its precise dimensions ensure a perfect fit and eliminate unfiltered air bypass.
Filtration Performance and Engine Protection
AL172781 John Deere filter delivers industry-leading air filtration for JOHN DEERE 6130 tractors. Specifically, its 99.95% efficiency rating traps micro-particles to protect turbochargers, cylinders, and fuel injection systems. As a result, it reduces engine wear, maintains consistent power output, and extends service life in demanding agricultural environments.
Stable airflow also supports optimal combustion efficiency and lower fuel consumption. Furthermore, it minimizes pressure drop even during heavy plowing, harvesting, and field work. Consequently, it reduces unplanned downtime and maintenance costs for farm operators.
Structure and PowerCore® Media Design
The AL172781 John Deere filter features a durable obround structure with advanced PowerCore® technology. First, its unique media design maximizes filtration area while maintaining compact dimensions. In addition, the reinforced housing resists vibration, moisture, and mechanical stress common in tractor operation.
Its PowerCore® cellulose media combines high dirt-holding capacity with low flow restriction. Besides, the precision-fit design ensures a secure seal in the JOHN DEERE 6130 air intake housing. Therefore, it maintains consistent performance throughout extended service intervals.
