I was looking at the mirror kits from All States Ag Parts and they look decent. I just need some basic mirrors, nothing super wide, but ones that will last. Has anyone else tried these or have a better idea? https://www.tractorpartsasap.com/cab-mirror-kit-left-or-right-new-john-deere-169279.html

Going through heavy brush my 5055e stopped running. The ignition fuse was burned and when I looked under the tractor there were two wires, one red, one white loose. I replaced the fuse and twisted the wires together and was able to run the tractor. Do these wires go to the PTO lever as a...

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 John Deere 5055E tractor. I want to give this thingy a try but I could not figure out the NPT size. Are they standard? How would I measure it properly? I found some info on the web but it looks like NPT is for threaded designs. Quick coupler is not threaded, as far as I know. I'd...

hi guys I have a 5055e and the pto has been working great until today. i've bypassed the seat switch and i've tested the voltage at pto solenoid. I'm only getting 8.8V and my battery is reading 12.6V I'm wodering if its just not getting enough voltage? Is stealing power from another...

I was trying to start my 5055 Deere, say 40 degrees out (maybe upper 30s), and it cranked for about 2 seconds and then instantly quit. No click no nothing. Battery was due for replacing so put in a new battery. Still nothing, no click or anything. When I had tried to start it and it...

Why do I see so many JD 5055E tractors for sell? Is there something about them that I am missing on? Seen some great prices on that model with FED and Cab. Would appreciate some advise....looking at one pretty seriously but am spooked. Thanks for a great forum.

My John deer 5055e tractor starts fine until it gets warm. Then it wont start back up. Why is that?

2014 JD had 60 hours on'er. It seems to go into neutral randomly when using the power reverser and throws the #15 warning light (which is a little orange gear) Does it in all gears. Sometimes it does it in a cluster and ya have to wait. It does it under load and not. You play with the power...

My ignitions switch fuse blows as soon as I turn the key on. The tractor ran just fine a week ago went to start it today and this is happening. I have googled it and everyone talks about the cold start advance sensor that is on the thermostat housing. Mine is a newer model than all the ones in...

Looking for part numbers for telescoping draft links for my 2010 5055e tractor. Also looking for sources for new or used.

I decided to go with a cheaper Sony unit without a CD player. It has USB, so CDs would be pointless. It has a detachable faceplate, I thought those were done away with. The radio and adapter I got. Inserting the mounting bracket is just like any other DIN opening. Connecting the included...

2017 5055e got here today. I've done a little bit of searching on this. Obviously, I need some tunes. I need to remove the panel and see what I'm dealing with as well. From what I've found I need the antenna kit from JD, p/n AL222926. Looking online, that's a pretty pricey kit. Do I need...

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 have a JD 5055E and I keep it in the garage (standard 8 foot high door). As I get older I find myself appreciating more protection from the elements, particularly in January when I am clearing snow. The JD factory cab is much too tall (and too expensive) and I am having difficulty finding...

I have 6 acres of land. I have a 2 acre motocross track for my son and I to play on. I need to do quite a bit of box blade work and my wife is planting cut flowers. I am looking at a 2016 5055E and a 2016 4052M. Both are within a few thousand of each other in price. The 5055e has the 512...

I have a 2010 John Deere 5055E open station I'm trying to wiring up a convenience outlet on (see pictures attached). I was told one wire is constant power, another is switched power, and the last is your ground. What's the best way to wire this up?

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...

I have a 2014 jd 5055E with 321 hours. I am having a continuous problem with the intake screen plugging up and then starving the pump for oil. This results in jerky loader, power steering and 3 point hitch operation. My dealer said to clean the screen and reinstall the oil. This provides an...

I am in the process of changing over my brake light switch and need access by removing the RHS dash panel. After removing the two screws on the side of the panel, I am left with a clip? that holds the left and right side panels together in the middle. It is in a very awkward place (have to lift...

Looking for advice on what tractor I should buy. It will be used for rotary cutting a little over 15 acres 4 to 5 times a year. I have a 6ft rotary cutter rated from 30 to 60 pto hp. When I do the first cutting it is typically around 3ft tall and can be thick in spots. I have been using a 60...

I bought a 2011 5055E about a year ago. It has 1200 hours, 4x4, FEL, AG tires. I have put about 150 hours on it in the last year. Recently the brakes have started giving a problem. When I use it at higher RMP's (2000) to bush hog or plow the longer I run it the more I have to pump the brakes to...

I have a question and i know the majority answer will be to buy a new tractor but i shall ask anyway. Is there a larger engine that can mate up to the 5055e? Curious if the larger 4.5L powertech would bolt up. I know it is a larger engine but mechanicaly would it bolt up to flywheel housing...

Hello new guy here, I am looking to buy a 2010 5055e with 553 fel for 18k soon and was looking for opinions on the tractor in general. It has about 600 hours on it and is in good shape with good tread, will be fully serviced and have a new seat and power steering line when I pick it up. Is that...

Looking for opinions on the CoverMyTractor.com polyethylene canopy for my 5055E. I operate in and out of tree limbs often and figured the bendable nature of poly would be more durable than fiberglass. Any of you guys running this canopy? Input please.

For a while I've had an intermittent problem with my tractor not starting. It's happening more frequently now. Most of the time it will start right up, other times it will crank over fine, but act like the fuel shut off solenoid is deactivated. When it won't start, I've checked and found power...

A couple of months ago my 2011 5055e just stopped running and wouldn't restart. I checked at the injection pump and found no power. After looking at the fuses and not finding anything wrong, I removed the mounting bolts from the fuse panel in order to see if a wire had come loose. When I moved...

May have opp to pick up a 2010 (IIRC) 5055e mfwd with no more than 200 hours and most of that is from mowing around house so not much abuse at all. Owner just bought a new one with loader/grapple instead of adding what he would have needed. Owner is friend of family and we can get tractor for...

Hi All, I have a 2017 5055E with about 65 hours on it and I'm getting an Engine information alarm and then a stop warning. The tractor automatically powers down and I parked the tractor when it started. I checked the manual and it said to check the engine oil level so I did and it was fine. A...

Hey guys, I am having problems with the PTO disengaging after a few minutes. the temperature didn't seem to be running high, but we saw on these forums that it might be overheating. We have already cleaned the radiator and oil cooler, topped off the antifreeze. Other comments mentioned the seat...

I didn't want to disrupt the other thread, but I have a new to me 5055e with the power reverser 12/12 that gets stuck in neutral and flashes N on the dash. If I move the power reverser lever back and forth 15-25 times it will usually come into gear until the next time I have to use the lever...

We changed the engine oil and filter on our 5055e at 120 hours. The manual says we should also change the hydraulic filter, which I have(the Deere man sold me two items, one is an enclosed canister, the 2nd looks to be a paper-type filter which I cannot figure out where it goes). If we never...

Hi All, I have a 2014 5055e. At 350 hours the clutch started slipping. I took it to the dealership they kept it for over a month. When I went to pick it up, they told me it was an adjustment. As he realized what he said he corrected himself and said "Lots of adjustments". Now at 450 hours of use...

I just purchased a 2017 John Deere 5055E. I really like this machine. It is comfortable, powerful and easy to operate. However, after using it for about 2 hrs the FEL would not dump. After some investigation, I found that the nuts that secure the cables from the loader controls had come loose. A...

Hi Guys, I am getting ready to pull the trigger on a new 5055e and I am unsure if I should get the MX6 and MX7. I will be cutting light pasture grass and a few farm levees so I don't think there will be too much stress put on this shredder. Can this tractor handle the MX7 or should I go with...

I am torn between the two. I like the idea of hst on the mahindra , but the hst on my tc35d just seems to be under powered and gives up before utilizing the power of the tractor. So I could go either way on the power reverse that John Deere has. I like the clean smooth open floorplan on the...

I had to trade my Tier 2 5055E in on the new Tier 4, been waiting for it to regen and it did yesterday with 50 hours on it. My question is this, when I noticed the light on the dash it was 1:17, so I was about done bushhogging but I thought well I will piddle here and there for a few minutes to...

What is a fair price for a new 5055e with fel and 4x4?

Bought new inner and outer air filters for it yesterday. Even though my filters are very clean it appeared that I had a tiny amount of dust past the air filters on the clean side of the intake. These filters are very cheaply made. The canister is made by Donaldson which is well known in the air...

Has anyone successfully installed front fenders on a 5E cab tractor? The dealer says the fenders that mount to the front axle are not available for the 5E series, but there is a pair that will bolt to H-Series loaders. Looking at the installations instructions, it shows that they mount to the...

Just bought a 5055E this summer, ran a special on a cab model and I jumped on it. First use the radio died and the fuel gauge went haywire. Dealer comes installs new radio and fuel gauge is working. Next use fuel gauge quits, dealer comes and replaces sending unit. Next use the lift arm stops...

I recently came across an ad for a 2013 JD 5055e that said "This tractor doesn't have the new emission system". Is this describing fuel economy, or just (exhaust) emissions? What year did John Deere come out with the new emission system for the 5055e/5065e, and/or how can you tell?

Hello, thinking I am close to pulling the trigger on a new JD 5055e tractor with a H240 loader. Also trying to trade in my Massey Ferguson 461 on it. So far I have heard from one dealer, of two that i would like to work with. They are both about 45 min away so that is a non-issue. The dealer...

I am starting to research a new tractor. I want to have a 3rd function valve for the FEL so I can use a grapple and maybe shears. I was leaning towards a JD 5065e (or 5055/5075 depending on price) but when I mentioned the 3rd function valve I was told on the JD I'd have to run it off the rear...

I am looking at a 5055E with 16.9-28 tires and 9x3 Transmission I had it for a SHORT test drive around the dealer's lot. Speed chart seems ok, but looks like C reverse is useless for anything, B reverse seemed fast, A reverse slow (snowblower?) B range looks like only "field speeds" C range...

Does anyone know if Deere makes a backhoe for the 5055? I want to get the tractor used but I never see them with the backhoe. Thanks!

I just bought a new 5055e the other day, and now it has started beeping and blinking at me whenever I go about every 1500 ram or try to lift a heavy object. The engine and hydraulic oil levels are OK, and there's no sign of overheating. Can't find anything in the manual, and the dealership...

I have a 2012 5055e with 133 hours on it that may still be under warranty. Today one of the guys was Bushogging with it and it lost power (could not go over 1300 rpms he said and it blew white smoke constantly. What are your thoughts as to what it is before I look at it.

Has anyone noticed on there tractor the engine Rpm's increase maybe a couple hundred RPM's and stay there on its own. I noticed if I start my tractor every once and a great while, let it idle for a couple minutes, and then maybe increase the RPMS to 1200 that when I put it in gear and start to...

I noticed in the center of the bell housing there is a bolt that more looks like a drain plug. Also there is not paint on the casting around it. This appears to have been done on purpose by Deere. My manual does not mention it anywhere. I know most 2wd tractors have the cotter key there. I saw...

reviews for 5055E John Deer Tractors for 2013 & 2014

I traded in my 2005 5205 4wd 2 weeks ago for a new 5055e 4wd cab tractor. After being initially impressed with the air conditioner and comfortable cab I hooked up my mx6 and got to work. I found it impossible to set the brush hog at mowing height because the mower is on the ground at the top of...

Was delivered yesterday. Our first cab tractor, it has the Frontier GM2190R finishing mower behind it. Cuts very well; we're using it mainly to mow our pecan groves that are already well manicured from cutting them with zero turn mowers. The A/C sure makes the job easier in this hot Georgia...

A buddy of mine just got a new 5055E cab this week, and is wanting to add some work lights to the front of the cab. Does anyone know if the wiring harness is in place? There are threaded inserts under the lip of the roof, at the corners, which we assume are for lights. He's wanting to go with...

I'm deciding between a New Holland Workmaster and the Deere 5055E. The Deere seems more robust (as does the price.) A MAJOR consideration and maybe a game changer, would be if I could somehow lift a pallet with the Deere. I often have pallets of lime delivered for my food plots, and these...

I posted a while back, about this, and got a single suggestion. Was hoping that others might chime in, here. I have recently purchased a John Deere 5055E tractor with the 3029 PowerTech diesel in in it. Over the course of running the tractor (80-hours, now), the thing has consumed nearly a...

This past weekend, I looked a the new JD 5055e cab. The tractor seemed to be extremely cold natured when starting considering it was 50-55 degrees outside. It spit and sputtered for several seconds before it began running smoothly. Is this normal for the 3 cylinder JD engine used in the...

hello all - i'm new here. got a 1 JD 5055E bought it in june got a FEL with a SSQA took 4 weeks for that to show up, but it was worth it to me. have a 78" general purpose bucket, a set of pallet forks and a grapple rake running off the rear remotes. put about 64 hour on it so far cutting...

I looked at the new JD 5055E cab yesterday. The cab was nice and the air blew cold and REALLY hard....much harder than the Mahindra I tested last week. That would come in handy in the deep south heat and could easily justify a significant price difference. The seat, however, was something...

I am looking at buying a John Deere 5055e. I was given a price of $30,800. Is this a good price or can I go lower? Also, is there another tractor that is comparable that for around the same price would be better?

I am currently in the market for a new tractor to replace the JD2150 I just sold. I am looking at a John Deere 5055E (4 wheel dirve) w/ FEL and a Kubota MX5100 4 wheel drive with FEL Kubota is about $4000 cheaper but I never had a Kubota and don't know if i would be satisified. I have had JD's...

I bought my JD 5055e new in the summer of 2011. This year I used the rear hydraulics for the first time to disc mow my fields (just started making hay). After mowing about 2-hours my gas tank melted!! My dealer replaced the gas tank and valves, but still cost me $250 plus costs to haul from...

The mechanic came out and looked at my tractor today. He pressure tested the system with tractor not running and later with the tractor running. He found another slight hose leak below the waterpump. This makes the 3rd and forth time the coolant hoses have been tightned on this tractor...

I went to the local dealer in western Arkansas today and asked about the pricing on a 5055E with 4WD and a loader. Since he didn't have one in stock he tried convincing me I needed a 65 HP (which he did have in stock). I was told the 5055E is not in production and I couldn't get one until the...

We only own 3 acres but have been slowly taking over the neighbors 40 acres, mending fences, cutting wood, and getting all their old farm equipment up and running again. The only problem with my 5055 is the fact that it does not have a cab and with hauling a 400 gallon water tank back and forth...

I would like to add a canopy to my 5055e this year or next. Can anyone tell me of a good aftermarket one that is quite and durable? If I cannot fine a good one I will get one from Deere even though I don't like the price. My 2155 has a factory canopy that has insulation under the bottom side...

I noticed the clamp that attaches the muffler to the turbo arear appears to be blowing out some black soot on my plastic hood. I checked the clamp and it was a little loose so I tightned it. It still blows some soot. Anyone elses do it? If so, how did you fix? Im worried about it getting the...

Hello all, I just wanted to get some feedback about a deal I'm working on with my local dealer... I was in my local dealership to purchase a new 2013 5045e and while I was there I got talking with the dealer about power vs. cost... long story short, I talked myself into the 2013 5055e since...

I have a new Deere 5055E with maybe six hours at most. I noticed today the blow by tube comes out between front of engine and water pump fan and does not extend down to bottom of tractor. I noticed that I'm getting a little blow by and the fan is slinging it up on the inside of the hood a...

I have not got to use my tractor much since the dead of winter. I did engage the 4wd but did not notice any dash light showing its engaged. Is this normal to have no four wheel drive engaged light??

Hi; I have a newer John Deere 5055E. Recently, I've been working in some pretty dusty conditions and pulled the hood to have a gander at oil and coolant levels. I noticed that, while a newer tractor, the coolant levels had diminished quite a bit in 25-hours. Also noticed that there was oil...

I have a chance to get a 40 hour 4520 with a loader for $29,500. With the current JD incentives, I can get a new 5055e, loader (more capable), and 65" Frontier box blade for a bit less. I'm confident either will do the job I need it to do (4WD, tree/brush clearing, smoothing, moving dirt...

Well I thought I would post a few pics of my new John Deere 5055E still on dealers lot and ready to be cleaned up before delivery. I received it the week of Thanksgiving.

Anyone regret buying their JD 5055E (or 5065E or 5075E)? Anyone have maintenance issues or cold start issues?

I took delivery of my 5055e yesterday. Mmmmm, new paint! I started out looking at the 3038e, thinking that would be enough tractor for me. I have 33 acres that I'm not sure what to do with yet, other than plant something and raise a few animals. Well, along the lines of "buy a bigger tractor...

Now I know the 5055E is a four wheel drive tractor and the 5055D is two wheel drive, but the list price difference is $6100 ($17000 vs $23100). Is there anything else different (read better) :confused:between the two tractors ... seems like a lot of money for the extra hardware used in four...

Hello. New here so please forgive me if this question is answered within the volumes of threads. I would be grateful for advice comparing the following tractors. We are considering one of the 5x25 (5225 or 5325) or comparable new E series (5055E or 5065E). First I realize the 5x25 series has...

Was quoted $26,900 for a JD 5055E w/FEL. Thoughts on price? Also have a question on the John Deers quick attach. Wondering what people's experiences are with 3rd party attachments. Is it worth $300 to get Skid Steer instead or do most vendors support both set ups? Thanks in advance for...

Will A John Deere 5055E MFWD Pull a John Deere 7000 6 row planter, Loomis to clay soil, Soil has been plow and disced, some small rolling hills. Thanks Rich K.

I own a new John Deere 5055E. This is a 55 H.P engine. It is the same engine as the 5075E except h.p. rating. I was wondering if there is a way to get 75 H.P. out of my tractor, since they are the same engine the Power Tech 3029. Everything looks identical from the 45h.p. -75 h.p. except the...

Over the last few months of tractor research, I have continued to lust after a Kubota M5040. Mostly because of the LA1153's impressive lift capacity numbers. The other day I discovered that the JD 50XX series will take a 553 loader, which is at least comparable to a Kubota LA1153, and possibly...

My local dealer gave me this quote: 1731LV 5055E Utility Tractor 1 $ 22,528.00 Dual Mid Valves with Joystick Control 1 $ 1,072.00 $ 1,072.00 Weight, Front Suitcase (104 Lb.) Quantity of One 6 $ 112.00 $ 672.00 Weight, Front Support - 100 Lb. 1 $ 206.00 $ 206.00 Freight 1 $ 203.79 $ 203.79...

Looking at 45-55 HP tractors and down to the JD 5055 E vs Kub 5100. 4WD w/ FEL and extra remotes ~ $26,500 (or ~ $11,500 + my JD 4310). I don't care for the NHs in that range; I haven't looked at Mahindra etc. The Kub MXs seem to have balance problems - you have to load the rear tires to carry...

If my auction tractor doesn't work out am considering a new 5055E 4WD FEL tractor. I'm not set on the 5055E but the dealer told me it was the cheapest new 5000 series JD with 4WD which is what I want. Any recommendations on a buying price? Wasn't sure if there was any wiggle room in price...

Well after all the internet searching, head rubbing, and hair pulling I have found a tractor. I'm headed to the dealer Monday morning first thing to workout the price. It's a 2009 JD 5055e with 103 hours. Front tires are 9.5/-24 and the rear tires are 14.9/-28 95% tread left. MFWD with a...

The local Dealer has one with 21hrs on it. Ag tires, which I want, loader joystick but no loader, one will be added, along with front weights and wheel weights. I think it will sell as a new unit, advertised price is around 21k plus loader price. How easy is it to detach the loader. I...

My father-in-law has a new John Deere 5055e. I plan to buy him a log splitter for Christmas. The one I found mounts on the 3-point and uses the tractor hydraulics. I've driven the tractor but I'm not up to speed on hydraulic terminology. It has two accessory hydraulic ports on the rear of this...

I have been looking at the 5055E tractors. I was wondering if anyone has any opinions or experiences with this tractor. With this being a new line of tractor there is very limited information on them. I own 40 ac and will use it for FEL, Brush-hog, and moving round bales. Any thoughts would...
