John Deere 5225
Model Year: 2006
This is my second 5 series tractor. This is my first experience with the 3.0 Powertech 5cyl engine. I love the smoothness and fuel efficiency of the engine, but do not care for the lack of low end torque. This engine does not have the lugging capability of my previous tractor which was a 5220. Overall, an excellent machine and would buy again. Fit and finish, reliability and value are second to none.
Pros: Value, looks, loader, fuel efficiency, reliability ease of use, fit and finish.
Cons: Low end torque.

I bought my 5-cylinder, 56 hp, straddle-mount 5225-with-542-loader from a local used-equipment dealer. It has 45 PTO hp. It was a "fixer-upper" and had been poorly maintained. It had salt-spray corrosion on some painted surfaces, dirt was packed into many places in the under-carriage, and it needed several minor parts. But it ran well and was the size I needed. I replaced the 4WD servo and also a spacer in the PTO clutch pack that was oversized and wouldn't let the PTO disengage, but after all the repairs, I still came out ahead concerning the purchase price plus repair costs. Concerning performance, the 5225 starts easily and has power and torque to spare. It makes bush mowing a breeze and can climb any hill I've tried. The telescoping 3-point hitch makes implement hookup very easy. Engine-oil filter change and fuel-filter change are accessible and straight-forward. The PTO can be disengaged independently from the transmission, which is very convenient.
Pros: Easy to start, even in cold weather. Plenty of power and torque. Part diagrams can be found on-line and parts are easily available through the local JD dealer.
Cons: It consumes a large amount of fuel due to it's 5 cylinders. John Deere recommends ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel, which is pricier than the off-road #2 diesel fuel I used to buy. It has a relatively-large turning radius compared to a similar-sized 2WD tractor and won't turn as tight as my old IH 2400A, but I can live with that. Being a Deere, replacement parts can be expensive.
