Comfortable operator station

Spacious and uncluttered Operator Station

The 5000 Advantage Series tractor's operator station is designed to position the operator farther forward and slightly lower than most other tractors in their class.
· Improves ride and visibility.
Side-mounted shift levers and underslung clutch and brake pedals contribute to a clean platform design and make it easier for operator to get on and off the tractor.
· Underslung pedals also make clutch pedal operation easier for the operator when the tractor is used in applications such as loader work, which require the pedals to be used frequently.

Broad left side step enhances access to the operator's station.
· The right-hand step is optional.

Thanks again. Does the 5105 and 5205, Have turn signals, and a tilt steering wheel? But my main concern or I would be sold on one of the 2 is, the transmission, Ive never really used one with a clutch, So first of all is it fairly easy to use with a loader. And when your moving can you change gears or do you have to stop? Thanks
Cliff

Cliff,
Yes it has tilt wheel and blinkers. No you don't have to stop to shift gears, it's a synchro transmission. Unless you have a hydro or the power reverser using a loader is more of a chore because you have to stop and shift gears from forward to reverse. With the power reverser you just flip the switch and no clutch.

John,
One more thing on the 5105, do you know the speeds of all the gears? Thanks

OK John, I give up. If that stuff isn't on the Deere site yet how did you get it on line for the rest of us. If that's a scan of your brochure it sure came out crisp and clear. Don't tell me you typed all that in by hand? I continue to be amazed Professor Miller /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

 

[PLOWER]

I know he's Like Mr.Wizard at finding that stuff. He is a very big help.
