In the autumn of 2009, the Deutz-Fahr 5600 series was further developed into the 6000 series. The change was mainly visible in the rounding of the corners of the side panels. The only technical differences were a slight increase in the tank emptying speed to 90 liters per minute and the availability of larger rear wheels as an option. The hydraulic pump was now load-sensing. The cab remained the same Commander Cab IV. Electronic sieve adjustment was an optional feature. Four-wheel drive was also available.

The 6060 HTS Climber was a hillside combine harvester, whose mechanism remained horizontal at 40% side slope, 30% uphill, and 10% downhill.

In 2012, a track option became available. The engines received urea injection and an extra power feature during tank emptying. The fuel tanks were larger than before. The exterior received minor changes with silver stripes. The grain tanks were also larger. The cutter bar was upgraded, including feed fingers now distributed across the entire circumference of the feeder drum instead of in rows as before, and the cutting system was Schumacher Easy Cut II. With the 6000 series, Deutz-Fahr succeeded in more than doubling its combine harvester production to over 300 units annually.

Production of the 6000 series continued for markets outside the EU even into the 2020s.
