5E series.

[JDTank]

Does anyone here have a 5045E, 5055E, 5065E, so on and so forth?

I was originally looking at 4x20 series machines, but have since started looking bigger. We have 8 acres, and 6 of this is rough and needs a lot of work. Summer it needs to be cut once a month, and eventually I would like to level it out. What has concerned me is we may eventually move back to the prairies, and buy a 40 acre property out there. This could happen in as little as 5 years. If we did that, I would likely trade in for a cab tractor anyways because of the -40 winters. Even stilol, I can't help but think this nice big machine would make all of my chores light.

As I said, I have a LOT of leveling and road building to do. I need the weight and the power to pull a big box blade and do loader work.

I know, this is a big tractor for only 6 acres, but it's actually cheaper than a 4x20. The 5E series seems a bit more, base model, but for the size of tractor at the price point, I don't think it can be beat.

What is the difference between the 5M and 5E series?

So, how do you like your 5E series?

I heard next year they are putting cabs on the small 5E's heres the brochure. You can get a PowrReverser on the cab models next year too I believe.

5D - 5E Series Utility Tractors

You might want to look at the Kubota M7040SU or SUD (SUD is 4 wheel drive). I was comparing that to the 5075e and I decided to go with the Kubota because I felt it was a little better tractor and gave me more for the money. Both seemed to be good tractors though.

Price wise, no, the 5E is the best bang for your buck you can get across the line. Do you need it is another question. I love HST transmissions, I have both, but at the end of the day I'm not nearly as tired from working the 110 as the 5410.

If you like the gear tractors, and think they can maneuver through your 6 acres, it gives you room to expand. They are built like rocks and tough as nails. There are a couple members with them, hopefully they'll chime in.

It's possible to get the 5E with power reverser is it not?

Go with a 4005 or a 4105. Nothing those two cant do on 6 acres. Your not moving around round bales so loader lift won't be an issue. They both can pull a 6' RCM or Box Blade. Lot more money just to pull an 8 footer. You obviously dont mind a basic tractor without eHydro. One is gear and one is Hydro. Those will do anything you want and will hold their value if you do buy the 40 acres and want a cab.

JD,
I do lots of grading work in my business and think you will find that the 4520 and 4720 will do a better job with this than the 5045, 5055 and 5065 E's. The ehydro transmission allows you to work more efficiently and have more control than a PR tranny. If you wan't to get more done than a 4720 will do I suggest you look at a 5085M or 210LJ landscape loader.

I agree with Steve, with hydro you just have so much more control in tight spaces, it feels more like you're in control of it than it in control of you.

Thanks for the input guys!

I guess my original thought was for the money and the sheer size and power of the 5E series, there is nothing better for the money, your getting a lot of tractor.

I will stick to the 4x20 series!

All of the tractors have enough power to operate a boxblade in most cases. The issue then becomes control of the tractor movements and the hydro is the handsdown winner in my book. I can go from a dead stop move a few inches adjust the boxblade then move again making the adjustments needed and continue with this for quite a distance. Then raise the box and push the reverse pedal to the floor and quickly backup to the next section, let off the pedal and inch up to a tree or house foundation and start the process all over again. That infinitely variable speed is about half of what it takes to grade with a boxblade. Topntilt is worth its weight in gold for this type work too.

I think you will find that a landplane will help alot at the end of the project for smoothing out the property, does a great job for me.
