    John Deere 5085 Flat Tire Question

    @ whis - I took a pic of the stem and the puncture. I really appreciate the help. If it's tubeless would that be a simple fix compared to tube? What part of Bama are you from ;)

    John Deere 5085 Flat Tire Question

    I was out on the land this morning and mowed about 30 acres. Came in the house to take a break and grab some lunch. Went back out and noticed that the left rear tire was flat as a pancake. There is a hole that is about 1-2 mm more or less a very very tiny hole. I know that these tires cost...

    I have attached some pictures of error codes that are coming on during operation. I have a JD 5085 E 2014 model.

    8FT VS 10 MX

    I know that the difference is of course the size, but is there a major difference in cutting speed with a 10FT MX VS 8MX? I have the MX8 but I swear it takes forever to mow all this land with the MX 8. I am considering the MX10 trading in the 8. I would love to have the 15ft but I can't swing...

    PTO QUESTION

    I have the JD 5085 with a 8FT pull behind JD bush hog. Question I have is this... I have an Econo Mode or can switch out of Econo mode. Either way it pushes to 540 in either mode. But I notice that in the Econo Mode I don't get as good as a cut. Why is this? Considering either way it's pushing...

    Gallons Per Hour

    I was curious. I run a 5085 E CAB and wanted to know if anyone here runs the same? How many gallons are you using per hour. With mine, I have put close to 14-15 hours and have used 3/4 of the fuel. I mowed land and filled in a trench with the FEL. I was curious too, if running the tractor in...

    10 Hours and needing to add hydraulic fluid already

    10 Hours and needing to add hydraulic fluid already. Is this normal, considering I've had the tractor for less than a few days? I was hooking up the MX8 and noticed the hour glass reading "Add".

    5085 E CAB Break Light Indicator

    I have a brake light indicator on the dash, however when I put the tractor in park via the gear shifter the light does not come on. Is there a real parking brake and this turns on the light to guarantee that you are in park?

    MX 8 Pull Behind Mowing Question

    What is the big difference in running Economy mode or not? If running at ECO mode what speed should you be at and RPMs? Does this matter with giving a better cut vs not going ECO or no? I love the pull behind MX8. I could have purchased the MX10 pull behind for the same price. After mowing 25...
