Designed to provide more comfort, performance and versatility, John Deere’s 5E Series three-cylinder utility tractors will be available from spring 2013 with a new John Deere–designed cab.
The 5055E, 5065E and 5075E models from 55 to 75hp can be ordered with two new cab options, equipped with either basic roof-mounted heater/ventilation outlets and controls or a higher specification air conditioning and heating system.
The cabs also feature opening front, rear and side windows for extra visibility when required, while an additional new feature is a digital instrument panel like the one used on Deere’s bigger 5M Series tractors.
All three models feature a John Deere PowerTech M Stage IIIA engine, providing good fuel economy and low emission levels, and an open–centre hydraulic system with independent pumps. A single rear SCV is operated by a dedicated lever as standard. Additional options include a second rear- or mid-mounted SCV operated by a joystick control.
The synchronised nine forward/three reverse inline transmission follows an H pattern and can be shifted on the move via side-shift levers within the range. A standard 540rpm PTO operates at a rated engine speed of 2,400rpm, while the 540E economy version runs at 1,700 engine rpm.
The tractors can be fitted with a choice of two mechanical self-levelling or non self-levelling loaders, with lift capacities of either 873kg or 989kg to a maximum lift height of 3.38m. Rear lift capacity is 1.8 tonnes at the hitch balls.
John Deere 5E Series tractors are suitable for a range of customers including smaller livestock or mixed farms, speciality growers and part-time farmers or private landowners, as well as the commercial groundscare market. Prices of the new models and cab option are still to be confirmed.
