- Deere 5075E MFWD OOS w/PR, 540E; Gator 825i
I ordered a 5075E new from my dealer a couple of weeks ago. I ordered it with the new Power Reverser transmission package. It came in on Friday so I went out to look at it on Saturday. (a few pics here: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/owning-operating/291299-new-john-deere-5075e-open.html)
I'm upgrading from a 2007 5103 2wd that is about as basic of a 50hp tractor as you can get, so I was really impressed with the fit and finish of the 5075E.
Granted, I did get the package with the PR, 540E PTO and the digital dash with ground speed indicator, MFWD indicator, etc. ($2100 extra. Seems like a really good value to me) I also noticed they put a rear light on the ROPS for hooking up or operating the machine in the dark. :thumbsup:
The new 5075E seemed a lot heavier in build quality on both tractor and 553 loader to me.
Hopefully your new 5075E serves you well.
BTW, how much of a price difference did you have to pay the dealer for the 5075 - if you don't mind me asking?
I priced out a 5065E with my dealer with the same options as the 5075E I bought, and the 5075 was only $370 more! It was a no brainer for me.
