New cab for John Deere 5E Series tractors

Designed to provide more comfort, performance and versatility, John Deere's 5E Series three-cylinder utility tractors will be available from this spring with a new John Deere designed cab. The tractors are suitable for a wide range of customers in the commercial, golf and groundscare markets when fitted with turf tyres, as well as equestrian centres, private landowners and country estates, part-time farmers and smallholders.

The 5055E, 5065E and 5075E models from 55 to 75hp (97/68 EC rating) 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. An additional new feature is a digital instrument panel, as featured on the bigger 5M Series tractors from 70 to 100hp.

All three models feature a John Deere PowerTech M Tier III 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 2400rpm, while the 540E economy version runs at 1700 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 873 or 989kg to a maximum lift height of 3.38m, and rear lift capacity is 1.8 tonnes at the hitch balls. Prices are still to be confirmed.
