Features

Since January 2008, the European Union (EU) has adopted the guidelines set out in the Stage IIIA emission regulations for all tractors sold in the EU between 50 hp and 100 hp. To satisfy these requirements, which are comparable to the U.S. Tier 3 norm, John Deere has chosen the best technology for all its 5E Tractors.

The PowerTech™ engine generation allows the tractors to meet producers’ demands for a powerful, fuel-efficient tractor as well as Stage IIIA emission levels.

• Free-breathing, cross-flow cylinder heads
• Wet cylinder liners
• Highly efficient charge air cooler
• Fuel cooler

Mechanical injection pump

Mechanical injection pump

A mechanical distributor-type injection pump with precise and responsive fuel measurement is used on the 5E Series Tractors.

This pump is equipped with a mechanism that regulates the fuel quantity based on the turbocharger pressure. This technology helps to fulfill the stringent emission regulations set out in Tier 3 and to avoid black smoke.

The pump is self-lubricating and, therefore, maintenance free.

The automotive-style electrical shutoff provides positive engine shutdown, enhancing while reducing noise and improving driver comfort.

Turbocharger

6. Exhaust out

All 5E Series Tractor engines have a fast-response turbocharger to increase engine power and torque.

The 3-Cylinder 5E Tractor engines have a high-exhaust gas velocity in their short-exhaust manifold system and achieve the best performance with a single-channel turbocharger.

The carefully matched turbocharger and engine settings allow economical performance and environmentally friendly engines.

Easy operable and comfortable workplace

Easy operable and comfortable workplace

The work space on 5E Series Tractors is very spacious and easy to enter and exit from both sides. All controls are easily accessible and positioned intuitively so that even inexperienced drivers can quickly find their way around the tractor.

Controls are colour coded: power take-off (PTO) levers in yellow, driving levers in orange, and hydraulic levers in black. To fulfill the European Union (EU) requirements regarding low noise levels, the whole driver interface is isolated from vibrations and sounds from the engine and transmission.

Closed platform at the rear

Closed platform at the rear

The platform at the rear is closed, which not only allows for more storage room for the driver’s personal belongings, it also offers protection against mud flying up from the back of the tractor.

Full-coverage bumpers

Full-coverage bumpers

Bumpers cover the whole tyre from the top to the bottom of the platform. This keeps the platform clean from soil flying up from the wheels. Indicator and position lights are integrated in the bumpers to protect them while driving across trees, acting as a windbreak at the headland.

Full-coverage bumpers are a lone-standing John Deere feature in this tractor class.

Front-protection shields

Front-protection shields

The platform is closed at the front with shockproof Perspex® shields to protect against wind and dirt from the front wheels. A clear view to the front is guaranteed.

Joystick for selective control valve (SCV) operation

Joystick for SCV operation

For the second SCV option, 5E Tractors have a separate joystick to operate two SCVs simultaneously.

Standard beacon and work light

Standard beacon and work light

The standard beacon light ensures that 5E operators can be seen when driving on roads.

The rear work light is also included as standard to enhance visibility at night.

Adjustable seat with seat belt

Adjustable seat with seat belt

Seats are adjustable and water resistant. For additional safety, a seat belt is installed as standard.

The adjustment knob is located behind the seat. Weight marks are given on the rear of the seat. Seat suspension functions according to the operator’s weight.

Tiltable roll-over protection structure

Tiltable roll-over protection structure

For working where there is limited height clearance—for example, in vineyards, nurseries, orchards, olives, or other tree cultivations—5E Tractors are equipped with foldable roll-over protection structures. This also means that low-level barns and cowsheds can also be entered with ease. A telescopic mirror is also placed within easy reach of the seat.

Toolbox

The 5E Series Tractors have a portable toolbox fitted next to the right-hand-side foot step.

Perspex is a U.S.-registered trademark of Lucite International.

Climate-controlled cab interior

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.

Operator environment

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 egress.

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 maximises 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.

Operating controls

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

Deluxe cloth seat

A deluxe cloth seat with a retractable seat belt is in base equipment:

• An ergonomically sculpted seat cushion, an adjustable scissor-link suspension, and seat armrests are combined to provide excellent operator comfort and support.
• The scissor-link suspension can be adjusted for the operator’s height and weight.
• The operator weight adjustment adjusts to the operator’s weight 52 kg to 125 kg (115 lb to 275 lb).
• Seat is adjustable fore and aft for the operator’s height, using the lever located under the seat.
• Retractable seat belts prevent the belts from becoming tangled in the seat suspension and controls.
