Prevent temporary overload with high backup torque
The current 5E engines are designed with high torque reserve of around 20-25 percent.
Backup torque is the ability of the machine to keep working as the engine pulls down due to increased load requirements over and above the maximum power. It also improves overall lugging ability or sustainability of the machine for sudden heavy loads due to a change in soil properties.
When encountering an increase in load while working at maximum power, the engine naturally reduces speed. Under these conditions, the engine characteristics provide an increase in torque so that the traction or power take-off (PTO) power may be maintained to overcome the temporary increase in loading. This is called lugging ability or torque backup of the engine. This backup torque prevents temporary overload, and frequent gear shifting during haulage and tillage applications, reducing operator fatigue.
Backup torque calculations
Backup torque = (maximum torque-torque at maximum power/torque at maximum power)* 100
Heavy-duty cylinder block provides greater strength and rigidity for many hours of dependable power.
Statically and dynamically balanced crankshaft keeps engine vibration to a minimum.
The cast-aluminum, high-ring piston design reduces the non-usable air in the combustion area of the cylinders for improved fuel efficiency, combustion, and reduced white smoke on startup. Ni-resist inserts reduce ring groove wear.
Tee-pee connecting rods allow for more strength to be built into each piston while maintaining sufficient bearing surface for the wrist pin in the connecting rod. The overall result is increased strength and durability of both the connecting rods and the pistons.
Keystone-shaped top rings move slightly in the groove for a self-cleaning effect. Plasma coating ensures reduced drag on cylinder wall and overall longer life.
Wet-type cylinder liners dissipate heat to prevent cylinder distortion and rapid ring wear. Wet liners also reduce the cost to overhaul an engine and allow it to be restored to the original specifications, unlike cast-in-block engines.
In wet liner design, coolant is in direct contact with the liner.
Full-pressure lubrication system
The underside of each piston and piston pin is sprayed with cooled and filtered oil, which eliminates excessive heat for long life. This also ensures proper lubrication and reduces chance of wear and tear. The full-pressure lubrication system also has a full-flow filter and filter bypass.

Optimized engine auxiliaries maximize performance
Electric fuel shutoff is provided by a solenoid on the injection pump that permits using a key instead of a push-pull cable to shut off the engine. Electric fuel shutoff does not allow bypass starting. If an attempt is made to bypass start the tractor, through the use of electronics, the electric fuel shutoff will not allow the engine to start.
Base Equipment On: 5055E, 5065E, 5075E
Coolant overflow reservoir tank- automatically maintains coolant level
The overflow reservoir automatically maintains the level of coolant in the radiator, thus ensuring optimum engine temperature, and longer engine life.
The transparent body makes it easy to spot the coolant level.
Engine oil cooler – cools engine oil and ensures longer engine life
The engine oil cooler is a salient feature on the John Deere engines. This helps to reduce the temperature of the engine oil, and in turn protects engine components from early wear and tear.
The pressurized oil enters the oil cooler and passes through a network of tubing surrounded by the engine coolant. Heat transfers from the oil to the coolant, reducing the oil temperature.
Dry type air filter with dual element- 99.9 percent cleaning efficiency
All tractor models are equipped with the dry type air filter. The dual filter element ensures that air is 99.9 percent clean before entering the engine, enhancing the engine life.
It is easy to service and maintain.
The air-restriction sensor alerts the operator when chocked by dust through air-restriction indicator.
Water separator increases life of fuel injection system
The water separator unit separates water from the fuel, thereby protecting the fuel injection pump from adulterated fuel.
This, in turn, ensures life of the complete fuel injection system.

Base Equipment On: 5055E, 5065E, 5075E
Engine serviceability
Ease of access for daily service points for the engine should be considered when comparing engines. The engine oil check should be easy to access from the ground. Some manufacturers allow access to the engine oil dipstick without opening the tractor’s hood.
For long-term owners or those seeking higher resale values on older machinery, a wet-sleeved engine may be beneficial. Engine cylinders can have wet sleeves encasing the cylinders, providing easier long-term maintenance for that engine. A wet-sleeve cylinder liner can be completely removed and replaced if a cylinder replacement is necessary. A parent bore engine would require the technician to bore out a larger space for the new cylinder or in some cases replacing the entire engine block, resulting in a higher cost for repair when compared to a wet-sleeve engine.

9F/3R synchromesh/collar shift - an easy-to-use transmission which saves time and effort
The synchromesh transmission is designed to match the excellent power and torque characteristics of the John Deere PowerTech™ engines.
Transmission durability is enhanced with the pressure-lubricated top shaft, allowing an operator to achieve performance from one working season to the next. The transmission is characterized as a partial top-shaft synchronized (TSS) as forward shifting on the go between speeds is not synchronized.
This technology equalizes the speed of gears, allowing smooth coupling.

PowrReverser™ 12X12 transmission - (5055E, 5065E, 5075E)
The 12F/12R PowrReverser transmission is ideal for heavy applications on 3-cylinder 5E Tractors. The John Deere built PowrReverser™ transmission provides 12 forward speeds and 12 reverse (12F/12R) speeds for operators requiring additional operating ranges, useful for field work and other applications. The PowrReverser transmission is equipped with a shiftable 540/540 Economy power take-off (PTO).
This transmission is ideal for operators using their tractors to perform in heavy applications. Maximum productivity is achieved with hydraulic power shift between forward and reverse and is ideal for loader and rear blade applications that require frequent directional switches in tight spaces. Excellent modulation allows the operator to shift the direction lever from neutral to forward or reverse, forward to reverse, reverse to forward, from forward or reverse to neutral.
- 12F/12R speeds provides more speed options to operator for different applications
- Control the aggressiveness of the forward/reverse modulation on tractors equipped with PowrReverser transmissions
- Forward-reverse shuttle at steering column help in changing the tractor’s movement direction with the help of electrohydraulic valve. Travel direction can be changed without depressing the clutch pedal.
- Synchronized gear shift mechanism allows shift-on-the-go between main shift gear speeds
- Ideal for heavy applications
- Equipped with a dual 540/540 Economy PTO
- More speed options
- Faster forward/reverse movement
- Flexibility to control the modulation from a slow response to a fast response
Also advantageous when turning at the headland is the ability to control the aggressiveness of the forward/reverse modulation. The operator has the flexibility to control the modulation from a slow response, as preferred in precise operations such as loading, to a fast response, as desired in applications when every minute counts (for example in harvest or seeding).
Easy and comfortable shifting
A spacious straddle-mount design with side-mounted control levers makes it ergonomical for the operator, and renders these products suitable for ag as well as commercial applications.
9 forward and 3 reverse (9F/3R) speeds are achieved by using two platform-mounted levers for shift operation. The gear lever at the operator’s right hand selects one of three forward gears and one reverse gear, as well as the integrated park position. The range lever at the operator’s left hand selects collar-shift A, B, and C ranges.
The layout of the gear lever has two reverse gears on the top of the lever, making the operation easy for commercial applications like loaders and dozers.
Operators can easily switch directions without having to completely stop the tractor with top-shaft synchronizer.
A neutral start switch requires the gear-shift lever be in the neutral or park positions to start the engine.
Park pawl provides positive parking
A positive park pawl on the transmission provides positive park and eliminates the need for a hand brake. This mechanism is built into the transmission for positive gear locking. Even if there is a failure in the current braking system, one is safe from accidental tractor movement.
This also eliminates clutch service costs that occur when the park brake is accidentally left engaged.

Standard independent 540-rpm rear power take-off (PTO) performs well in normal or heavy applications
Unlike most competitive tractors of this size, operators receive all the power and torque for which they paid.
The 540-rpm PTO speed is achieved while operating the engine at rated speed, so the full advertised horsepower can be delivered in any application.
An easy-to-use mechanical lever engages and disengages the PTO independently of the transmission traction clutch. Operators can manually feather the PTO lever for smoother engagement.
When the PTO is engaged, a light on the instrument panel illuminates. Adding to operator safety, the tractor does not start when the PTO lever is engaged. An alarm sounds if the operator attempts to leave the seat with the PTO engaged. The PTO shaft is protected by a hinged shield.
Base Equipment On: 5055E, 5060E, 5065E
Save fuel, reduce noise, and increase engine life in power take-off (PTO) applications with the 540/540 economy PTO
The 540/540 Economy PTO allows operators to select the engine rpm for reduced fuel consumption, reduced noise levels, reduced vibration, and less wear and tear on the engine, while at the same time keeping the proper 540 rpm at the PTO.
The economy PTO provides 540 rpm to the PTO at 1705 engine rpm. The 540 Economy mode is ideal for any PTO application, for running a thresher or straw reaper where full engine horsepower is not required.
Operating at lower engine rpm decreases fuel costs up to 30 percent and provides additional productivity by improving the operating experience through enhanced operator comfort from reduced noise and vibration.
A lever allows the operator to simply change between 540 and 540E when conditions merit the opportunity to save fuel without affecting performance.
For heavy-duty operations requiring maximum PTO power, the PTO shift lever is placed in the 540 position, the PTO is engaged, and the engine is run at a rated speed of 2400 rpm. This selection gives 540 rpm to the PTO shaft and delivers the fully advertised horsepower at rated engine speed.
When the tractor is in economy PTO mode, the engine is electronically limited to 1700 rpm, preventing accidental over-speeding of PTO implements and protecting against binding the PTO shaft.
This interlock also prevents accidental shifting of the PTO selector lever at engine speeds above 1700 rpm, which would lead to downtime for fixing implements or drivetrain components.

Differential lock – increases traction when needed
Operators can confidently go into wet and muddy conditions with greater expectation of getting out with the standard differential lock. Differential lock allows power to be applied equally to both rear wheels for better traction when wheel slip occurs.
The foot-pedal engagement is located on the right side of the platform which makes it easy to release the clutch pedal and engage the differential lock at the same time. The lock automatically disengages when traction equalizes.
Base Equipment On: 5055E, 5065E, 5075E
Open-center hydraulic system
A tandem-gear pump supplies power to the open-center hydraulic system. This system is essentially two pumps working together as one to provide a high-flow rate to the tractor’s hydraulic system.
The rear half of the pump delivers hydraulic flow to the steering circuit so steering is effortless, even with a full loader bucket on the front end or a heavy integral implement. The front half of the pump supplies hydraulic flow to the selective control valve (SCV) and 3-point hitch functions.
The system’s high-flow rate, combined with the pressure, achieves excellent hydraulic performance and capacity. This provides high loader breakout force, so every drive into the feed pile results in a full bucket.
Fast cycle times result in time saved when operators are moving material; they will not have to waste time while the loader bucket dumps. The system also supplies plenty of flow for running hydraulic motors, which is one more example of the versatility available with John Deere Utility Tractors.
Base Equipment On: 5055E, 5065E, 5075E
Hydraulic capacities
The 5E Series hydraulic system provides plenty of flow for running rear hydraulic implements and loaders. The tandem-gear pump ensures steering is effortless, even when running hydraulic implements.

SCV directs the flow of pressurized hydraulic oil for the operation of remote cylinders.
Tractor with SCV can be used for special applications like:
- Loader
- Dozer
- Backhoe
- Combine harvester
- Hydraulically operated implements
Mechanical front-wheel drive (MFWD) – A durable MFWD axle increases traction in tough conditions
Limited-slip, heavy-duty MFWD front axle will provide operators with increased drawbar pull and improved traction when operating under slippery conditions. This ensures the operator gets the required torque to the ground for applications that demand more from the tractor. The MFWD front axle also reduces wheel slippage with less tractor ballasting for reduced soil compaction, increased fuel economy and longer tire life.
The MFWD centerline design provides excellent maneuverability around the worksite and more crop clearance so operators are not driving down their crop or profits. Additional versatility is proven when wheel treads are adjusted and with 6 degrees of caster angle and a 55-degree turn angle, which results in a turning radius as short as 3 m (9.9 ft) (brakes applied), allowing plenty of horsepower to turn around in tight places. 10 degrees of axle oscillation follows uneven terrain allowing for consistent performance and comfortable ride.
Axle oscillation also reduces the stress and maintenance cost on the axle spindles because loads are consistently spread across the entire axle. The centerline design eliminates the need for drive shaft universal joints that require regular maintenance. Anti-wrap shielding on the driveline is standard to prevent crop material and debris from building around the driveline and ensures tractor performance. Three grease points are conveniently located to minimize maintenance time while maximizing front axle performance.
NOTE: The MFWD engagement lever is located on the left-hand side of the operator. For the operator’s convenience, when MFWD is engaged, an indicator light will appear on the dash.

Two-wheel drive (2WD) – Fixed and heavy-duty adjustable
The 2WD front axle is available in fixed and heavy-duty adjustable (with 50.8-mm [2-in.] increments) to adapt to a wide variety of applications. The adjustable version is also available in heavy-duty configuration. A 55-degree turn angle provides excellent maneuverability for big-torque tasks in tight spaces.
The front axle provides 10 degrees of axle oscillation, allowing the axle to follow uneven terrain for consistent performance and a comfortable ride. This also reduces the stress and maintenance cost on the axle spindles because loads are consistently spread across the entire axle.
The steering cylinder is bolted directly to the rear of the front axle so the axle housing protects the steering cylinder from potential punctures created by rough terrain, rocky soil conditions, or thick crop material.

2000-kg (4409-lb) lift capacity at ball (all 5055E, 5065E, 5075E)
Rugged jobs such as reversible moldboard plows and rotary tillers require a durable 3-point hitch. The 5E Series Tractors are up to the task with a powerful 1800-kgf (3968-lbf) lift capacity, more than enough for the implements used on these tractors. These tractors come standard with Category 2 hitch components. The grower can get 10 percent additional lift capacity to lift heavy implements to overcome the worst dynamic conditions in in the field.
Top-link draft sensing provides consistent results every time
The top link is the first part of the tractor to experience an increase in draft load with the lighter, short-coupled implements typically used with tractors of this size.
Draft sensing allows the hitch to quickly raise or lower, as needed, to control the load on the engine. It also reduces the need to downshift into a lower gear when operating in a rough spot, making the operating experience simpler.
The draft response is adjustable using the draft control lever to match the operating conditions and implement being used. The hitch also has a float position for implements with skid shoes or depth gauge wheels that carry implement weight.

The standard equipment Roll-Gard ROPS can be folded to permit additional clearance, when needed. With the ROPS in the folded position, straddle-mount tractors with 16.9-30 or smaller tires fit under a standard 2-m (6.6-ft) doorway.
Folding the ROPS is simple: remove two pins and rotate the top of the Roll-Gard ROPS down. Adjustments can be made from the operator’s station.
When low clearance is not required, the ROPS must be in the upright, locked position. The use of seat belts is recommended when operating the tractor with the ROPS in the upright position; it is not recommended when the ROPS is folded down.
Using a canopy is not recommended for applications that require folding the ROPS.
Cab - increase comfort and performance (applicable model - 5055E 9X3 and 12X12 cab, 5065E 9x3 and 12X12 cab, 5075E 9x3 & 12X12 cab)
The operator of a 5E Series will appreciate the reduction in noise and vibration through the seat, steering wheel, and lever controls with a rollover protection structure (ROPS) certified, factory-installed cab.
The cabs are assembled to the tractor chassis as a complete unit and mounted on composite isolators.
This system of assembly and mounting is similar to the successful mounting methods of the larger-horsepower tractors in the John Deere ag tractor family.
The complete cab assembly includes the floor and steering column. Having this type of fully isolated cab greatly reduces noise levels inside the cab.
It also creates a more sealed environment, so the amount of airborne particles entering the cab, such as dust and pollen, are greatly reduced. The cab is very spacious, allowing ample space for controls and storage. The flat floor adds to the spacious, open feel.
The ceiling control panel is located on the upper-right side and the air-conditioning components are located on the upper-rear corners of the cab, where visibility is not as critical.
This provides the operator with visibility to the loader at a height unmatched by any competitor.
Easy-to-reach side heater and air-conditioning controls. The 5E Series cabs provide a clean, quiet environment protected from the elements. Powerful air-conditioning and heating systems allow the operator to control the cab climate to preference, regardless of the conditions outside. The standard visor blocks the sun on bright days, while a dome light allows the operator to see controls at all times of the day.
The cab’s side windows open forward for excellent ventilation and left-side door open wide for easy entry and exit. The rear window opens to 70 degrees, providing further visibility when hooking up implements. An interior rearview mirror provides additional visibility. The clean, uncluttered interior design with flat platform maximizes operator space. A conveniently located beverage holder provides space for the operator’s drink of choice. Take further pleasure in the ride with a radio or compact-disc player available as a field-installed attachment. Cabs are radio ready, including standard speakers and radio wiring harness.
Excellent overall visibility in all applications with a swing-out rear window opens to a full 70 degrees for easier implement hook up and visibility. A front windshield wiper with washer ensures the operator can see the surroundings of the tractor (a rear wiper is available for field installation). Excellent night visibility is achieved with work lights, easily adjusted to redirect light without tools. A convenient three-pin power outlet is for a monitor, controllers, and other operating necessities. Four sets of mounting bosses and a removable rear access plug for monitor or controller harnesses also make using a monitor easy.
A rear seven-pin electrical-outlet socket for implement electrical requirements and a 90-amp alternator handles increased electrical requirements. To handle increased powertrain and hydraulic requirements in severe conditions, hydraulic oil cooler is standard.
Additional features are as follows:
- Front work lights
- Radio

Oil-immersed disk brakes provide durability and long life
Operators can expect sure stops when the unexpected happens in the field, on the highway, or at home with hydraulic wet-disk brakes.
The brake pedals can be locked together for braking action on both rear wheels when in transport, or they can be unlocked to make tighter turns in the field.
The brakes are oil cooled for maximum performance throughout the life of the tractor.

Custom four-wheel drive (4WD) front and rear tire information
4WD front tires must be properly matched to the rear tires (0 percent to 5 percent overrun) to prevent excessive front tire wear, unnecessary powertrain loads, and overall poor tractor performance.
In order to achieve maximum drawbar pull, maintain proper steering, and reduce tire wear and fuel consumption when custom fitting 4WD front and rear tires, the following guidelines must be followed:
The transmission front/rear ratio for standard-width 5 Series Tractors is 1.3495. The inverse, used for 4WD matching calculations, equals 0.741. The 0.741 factor determines the front tire with 0 percent overrun. A 0.778 factor, 0.741 x 1.05, determines the front tire with 5 percent overrun.
Tires and wheels
- Tire
- Wheel/rim
People often use the words tires and wheels interchangeably, but technically that is not correct. A tire is not a wheel.
A wheel, wheel assembly, or rim refers to the metal portion. In the image above, the yellow portion is the wheel or rim. Wheels and rims can be steel or cast. Cast rims are heavier than steel rims and typically can handle a higher load rating.
The tire refers to the rubber part. In the image above, the tire is the black part.
Easy-access service points
The one-piece, tilt-up hood provides easy access to the air cleaner, radiator, and coolant recovery tank. This design also eliminates having to remove the side screen, saving time and effort.
The coolant tank has a see-through design, allowing the operator to check the coolant level without removing the radiator cap.
Maintenance is easy with automotive-type fuses and an air-restriction indicator light that alerts the operator when air cleaner servicing is needed. A 250-hour engine oil and filter change interval reduces maintenance costs.
All 5E Tractors come with a hood lock. A hood lock with key will prevent theft of the battery and engine accessories.
Fuel and hydraulic fill locations
The hydraulic oil check and fill location is easily accessible at the rear of the tractor.
All 5E Open-Operator Station Tractors have a 68-L (18-gal.) capacity, rear-mounted fuel tank that is easy to access for filling.
