Thanks. That's a lot of ballast weight. I think i need some liquid or wheel weights!

I do. It's attached. I'm not sure how to read it. Does the number on the rear axle include or exclude the weight of the tractor on the rear axle? Also, why are there two options for cab tractors and only one for OOS?

I am trying to determine the proper rear ballast for my 5055E. I have a 520M loader that has a max lift of over 3k lbs. I want to lift at least a ton and trying to determine rear ballast. The manual for the loader shows two options for a cab tractor and one option for OOS. I have an OOS. The...

I have a 5055E with a loader (520M) that has a lifting capacity of over 3k pounds. I would like to lift at least a ton with my forks. My tires are not filled. How much ballast weight do I need on the rear (I have weights I can add on to my BB) in order to lift a ton with my forks? Thanks.

I have a 5055E that is less than a year old. I know I need to be greasing everything and my implements. What is the best grease to use?

I have a 55 horse JD 5055 4WD. I am looking to disc a field and wondering how wide of a disc I can pull with this tractor. The field has very loose sandy soil. TIA

Looking at getting one so I can lift more with my loader. Question is what should I fill it with? If not concrete, I suppose I need to drill holes in the bottom to let water drain. How thick of metal would I be drilling through? Thanks.

I have a JD 5055 open operator station. I would like to use my tractor to maneuver trailers around my place as it gets better traction in my soft ground that my truck but I realized that I can't see to back my travel trailer as I don't have side mirrors. Does anyone make something and where...

absolutely. I have very soft sandy ground and that is when I use it.

I have a JD 5055e. I know it's not good to turn sharp in 4WD in vehicles. Is this also true with tractors or should I not be worried about it? TIA

Thanks. Yes, it has a FEL and it is 4WD. It's kept under a shed with 3 walls, but is not out of the cold.

Has anyone rigged up a way to store stuff in the empty cylinder in the joint of your loader? I've seen the idea on Youtube but need details on how to cover the ends. Seems like a great place to keep a chain and other things. Thanks.

I have a pretty new 55 hp JD. Should I add liquid to the tires? I have a canyon in my property with a couple fairly steep roads going down there and wonder if liquid in tires would help. I have not yet braved these roads as I'm still getting use to the tractor. If so, what kind of liquid. I'm...

I want a quick hitch for my 5055. I'm told that the Pat's is the best way to go. Anyone have experience with them? TIA

I have a new JD 5055E open station. Can someone explain the rockshaft draft control and how to use it? I have only been bushhogging so far. Should I be using it for that at all? Will draft control allow the bushhog to follow the contour of ground? I have a lot of hog rooting and it is very...

I'm being quoted $40,649 for a new JD 5055E. I'm in Texas. Does this sound about right? Also, does anyone have opinions on the extended warranties that JD offers? They increase the years and lower the hour thresholds. Just wondering if anyone has experience with claims or if the think the...
