Old thread revived : I know I’ll be reprimanded lol
I’ve got two 5k E series 12spd power reverser tractors for poultry house work.
.7 mph @ 1500rpm wasn’t slow enough so I finally bought a lightly used 2018 5115M OS 32spd with 16 (with hi/lo button) additional creep speeds. :thumbsup:
It works great having ANY Speed you need under .7 mph :cool2:
On the earlier year model M : the creeper gear was 8spd No hi/lo button option on shifter
JD hit a home run outta the park IMHO with this $4,600 transmission option & is Extremely Rare to find unless special ordered.
A B C ranges on the 16/32spd M are identical to A B C ranges on the 12spd E.
So No Slower ground speed in A 1 Gear
The D range on M is a faster road gear for travel.
Poultry House, snow blowing, tilling, trenching & vegetable farming are about the only applications that require the creeper gear option that I’ve found or read.
