In the spring of 1999, when the 6200 series was introduced, the six-cylinder models received an additional 5 HP. Unlike its predecessor, the 6270 (115 HP) was turbocharged. The smallest six-cylinder, the 6260 (105 HP), lagged noticeably behind the largest four-cylinder, the 6265, in torque. The torque rise percentage of the 6260 peaked at only 18%, whereas elsewhere in the 6200 series it exceeded 25%. The transmission was the familiar 32+32-speed Dynashift, now featuring a creeper gear and a hand clutch combined in the direction-change lever. For some reason, this clever solution never caught on in other tractors.

As with MF models, a computer controlled the transmission, PTO, four-wheel drive, and differential lock functions. The power lift was more powerful than before on the 6280 (125 HP). In addition to the conventional system, a closed hydraulic circuit could be specified, yielding a flow rate of 110 l/min. Unlike previous six-cylinder models, these now used Carraro front axles.

For 2001, automatic selection of the creeper gear step when changing the main gears became standard equipment. As an option, this could be enhanced with a creeper-gear automation system (AutoDrive), which offered two shift-program modes. Another new option was joystick control of the hydraulic valves, mounted on the armrest (see lower illustration). The system also included memory functions for recording flow rates and timing. These features were packaged with the newly introduced four- and five-star cabs. Finally, hydraulic front-axle suspension became available as an option for the six-cylinder models.
