New 5075E with PowrReverser Delivery

[econometrics]

FINALLY got my new machine last night from the dealer. It came in almost two weeks ago, but didn't have the 2nd rear SCV that I ordered. So that took ... 2 weeks ... to get put on.

Anyway, it's all a wash now as the new machine is sitting comfortably in my shed! Here are some pics below. The lighting was a little odd around dusk, so some of the pics are a little unbalanced.

I can tell I'm going to have to teach my left foot and right hand some new muscle memory, as every time I tried to drive the new 5075 with the PR, my foot and hand were a little confused. :laughing:

It was sad to see the 5103 go, but I forgot all about her as soon as I cranked the key on the new 5075.

I really like the sturdiness of the 5075E, as well as the fit and finish with the digital gauge, PR, etc. I hope she treats me well!

Planning on doing some shredding for a neighbor tomorrow with it + the MX6. Can't wait! :thumbsup:

Congratulations on your new tractor, very nice machine. It took me a long time to adjust to not using a foot clutch.

Thanks, TripleR! Yes, I can tell it's going to take some practice to get used to not having to clutch all the time. Syncing through gears without stopping is also another thing that's going to throw me off, ha! All good "problems" to have!

Very nice! I always like to see the trailered in pictures. I like the olive Gator too.
My problem is going from the JD6415 with reverser to the old JD2030 with the HI-LO lever about where the reverser lever is on the 6415.

:laughing: I bet that is a little tougher!

Thanks! It was actually a guy who lives about 2 miles away. Local guy.

Thanks! Yeah, I bought this land and the shed came with it. The guy who had it built must have had some plans for some big machinery (recreational, I would assume) when he put it in. It's got a lot of room to grow into!

Nice tractor and a good size for a lot of jobs. What does your new tractor weigh with ballast?

Nice tractor and a good size for a lot of jobs. What does your new tractor weigh with ballast?

Here's my estimate:

5400lbs - tractor
1500lbs - 553 FEL w/bucket
1200lbs - rear tires filled

Appx 8100lbs total.

That's my math from piecing it all together. If anyone estimates otherwise, let me know!

A lot better than the 5800ish lbs my old 5103 clocked in at!

Congrats on the new Tractor!!
You're gonna love the thing shortly. I never thought I would, but dangit, Deere the last two generations absolutely right and spot on.
Even got me over my hatred of electronic controls over mechanical levers.


The whole power reverser thing WILL take some time. Especially when doing precision stuff, like backing up to hitch up.
Go slow, and develop a routine...sort of.

You'll screw it up, stomp the clutch, flip the lever and then back off without thinking and then BOOM, the grabby clutch will wake you up.
It happens, and gets worse when you're switching between several tractors.

Then the other thing happens.
Ya jump in the truck, fire it up, and then **** near rip the turn signal stalk off the column trying to flip a reverser that ain't there, or find that your other tractor is missing a lever all of a sudden and cornfusion sets in.

That's exactly what happened when I lined up to back the tractor into the shop after the dealer delivered it! Next thing I know, I'm almost taking out the door frame of my shop with my new tractor! :laughing:

Good to hear this is a common "problem" when one gets a PR tractor, and I am not alone!

What are your tires loaded with? 16.9 - 28s ? I'd guess 1400lbs

Yes, 16.9x28's. Water and anti-freeze... so I figured a little on the lower side as we do not get hard freezes down here very often. Thus, I assumed my dealer went heavier on the water than the anti-freeze, ha!

But hey, I will take more weight!

I would like to run by a scale sometime to see what the total weight is, for sure, though.
