5x25 Series with E-hydro

[ddivinia]

I figure some John Deere marketing people are on here. I want a 5625 with a e-hydro trans - build one and I'll buy it.

I find myself using my 4520 cab more and more because of the handy transmission. There are jobs that I need the extra heft of my 5525 with the powerReverse. Anyway, with the 2nd kiddo here - I need a buddy seat in both of my tractors (4520 is too small).

That would be a beautiful machine!

If they can build heavy construction loaders with hydro transmissions - a 5000 series machine should be a piece of cake.

I think it is a no brainer - I would take 1, maybe 2.

Why stop there?

Another good option would be hydraulically retractable axles that would narrow up the width to 1 meter Plus maybe shorten the wheel base to about 60" when needed. They have been doing this stuff in cartoons as long as I can remember.


I can see it now, a 6000 series landscape tractor to replace subCUT's.

Well, not really. I don't need the extra power, size or weight. I wish I had the deluxe valves on the rear and that they offered a e-hydro trans.

One other thing that would be nice would be the pull out radiator on the 6000. Cleaning the radiator twice a day while haying can be a hassle.

Does that mean you won't be sending in your downpayment anytime soon...?

AKfish, gotta get the new 4520 paid off first. But that should give them a little time to develop my next tractor.

I should mention though that the new 4520 seems to out manuever the older 820. I am not sure if it really turns sharper but it definately feels more compact.

Steve, have you posted any pictures of your new tractor, yet? I might have missed it..

If I had more confidence that a cab, 4520 would stand up to a baler over a few thousand hours - that would be my next tractor.

But, I know that a 5000 series could handle to job without a problem. So, I'll likely go with what I know..

I really like our 4520 - wish it had room for a buddy seat.

I suspect the 4520 would handle a square baler OK. I adding a couple wheel weights to each side and it makes it feel like a larger tractor. Is the area you are baling flat? I worry more about the implement driving the tractor instead of the tractor running things.

I would get the 4720 if I had to do it over- the air ride seat is standard and the extra horsepower would not be a bad thing for baling.
