John Deere has turned the spotlight to its revamped 5E Series tractors this week.
The 5085E and 5100E (at 85 and 100HP, respectively) can handle 3200lbs of rear weight, and up to 3500lbs at full loader height on the front. And, it appears they’re designed with that sort of work in mind, with an extra 3.6′ of visibility at the front thanks to a sloping hood and raised operator platform.
The new 5E tractors have a 24/12 PowrReverser transmission, which shifts from hi to lo without a clutch and increases top speeds by 33.3%, according to John Deere. It’s also Final Tier 4 compliant.
