Premium power, comfort and versatility ... ... in a mid-size, full-frame tractor The new 5R Series prove the old saying true - 'less is more'.

Just think about your mobile phone for a moment. 10 years ago all you could do was phone or text. Now it's a camera, music player, address book, diary, internet browser and email reader all in one. But it's lighter and smaller too. John Deere has taken that same design approach to the all-new 5R Series tractors. Now you can enjoy the premium big tractor experience in a smaller, mid-size package. Building on the proven reputation of the 5020 Series, the new 5R Series gives you even more. More power ... more comfort ... more control ... and even greater versatility.

Premium comfort: more refinement, more convenience ... with excellent all-round visibility As soon as you step inside the 5R cab, everything about it says premium quality. It's light, very well equipped and surprisingly spacious. Sit back in the super deluxe air suspension seat and feel just how comfortable it is - just like your favourite armchair at home. Then swing the steering wheel towards you and set the height - it takes just a few seconds to obtain your optimum position. The instrument panel will feel familiar too. That's because we've styled it to feel like your car. All the controls - ventilation, gear shift and switches are close to hand. Their position will soon become instinctive so you won't need to take your eye off what you're doing to make a change. It's the perfect working environment - comfortable, quiet and stress-free.

The Premium Cab Advantage

These are the four factors you should use to benchmark our cab against the competition.

Premium power: more power, more torque ... without sacrificing fuel economy The engine is the heart of any tractor and John Deere engines enjoy a reputation for being the best money can buy. Why? Firstly, we build all our tractor engines at our plant in Saran, France with one use only - agriculture. Secondly, they are built to exacting standards. And finally, our frame design means the engine doesn't have to perform a structural role so it's lighter and less stressed for a longer life. 5R engines use the latest high pressure, common rail fuel injection system and electronic control. Apart from meeting the Tier III emission standard, they give you 7% extra power for power hungry tasks like ploughing and high start-off torque for pulling heavy loads through tough spots without shifting down.

Constant power between 1750 and 2300 rpm lets you throttle back and work at lower rpm without power reduction. You save fuel, without having to slow down your work.

Guidance you can grow with......

If you're completing tasks where accuracy is essential, our optional guidance solutions make the job easier for you and reduce your input costs.

You can get started with our manual guidance package. All you need comes in one single box: The StarFire 300 receiver takes just a few minutes to mount and gives you EGNOS signal accuracy for your field position. The GreenStar Lightbar then indicates the steering direction for you. Now reducing skips and overlaps is as easy as A - B - C, even in grassland applications where no guidance marks are available.

Or you can step up to automatic guidance. The AutoTrac Universal 200 Steering Kit is the multi-colored guidance solution that you can easily move between all your makes and models. With the StarFire iTC you choose between different signal accuracies to match your needs. Bringing high accuracy on return passes the ATU 200 reduces overlap by up to 10% and it speeds up field passes and headland turns. This saves you time, fuel and labour costs when you're seeding, fertilising or mowing.

Minimal downtime - Maximum uptime

We've worked hard to minimise the time you spend on service and maintenance. 'Speed and ease' were the two factors our designers focused on. Even with a loader fitted you can tilt up the bonnet with one hand to carry out almost all your regular maintenance checks. Everything else is easy to access with no special tools required so you can be done and out of the yard in no time at all.

Air
The engine air filter can be removed without any tools. The cab air filters are conveniently placed inside the roof hatch.

Oil
The oil level can be easily checked through the side panel.

Water
Coolant levels can be viewed without removing the cap and the windscreen washer reservoir is conveniently placed at the back of the cab.

Fuel
The fuel filler is on the left hand side steps and has a drain so you can easily remove water and sediment.

Lubrication & Hydraulics
Greasing points are easy to reach and the hydraulic fluid level can be checked at a sight glass at the rear.

Electrics
The battery is up front for easy access and the automotive style fuses are located in the cab under the storage box.
