A John Deere 5100M tractor recently rolled of the production line at the company’s Augusta, Georgia factory in the US to mark the significant milestone of building one million tractors at the plant.
Opened in 1990 – with the first tractor, a 55 Series model, coming off the line in 1991 – the factory has specialised in the production of compact utility tractors and now supplies 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 Series models from 26hp to 115hp to a wide variety of customers and international markets.
John Deere’s new 5M Series tractors from Augusta were launched in Europe in 2013. The range consists of four models from 75hp to 115hp. These are powered by Stage IIIB compliant diesel-only engines featuring fuel-efficient common-rail technology.
A wide range of transmission, operator station and PTO options are available to tailor these tractors to individual customer needs. For extra versatility, their exclusive mid-frame design enables the machines to be equipped with an optional front hitch and front PTO, as well as matching John Deere H260 or H310 front loaders.
Augusta’s new 4049R and 4066R compact utility tractors, that feature the award-winning John Deere Hitch Assist system as standard, were also recently launched in Europe.
