A few pictures of my new 5093E

The money spent upfront on the cab option is like money in the bank. It will bring it's value to the table if you ever have to sell it.

Really nice, dstacy! Enjoy, and post pics of it working!

I agree the cab is sweet. When I was looking at moving from a 3520 to the 5083E, I told them I was not interested in a cab tractor and that I couldn't afford it. Then the sales guy said climb up there and start this thing up. So I did reluctantly and he switched on the a/c, and I was sold. I mowed 60 acres of crp with an HX15 bat wing cutter on my 5083E this week, and it did a pretty good job. That is all the cutter I would want on there, but it mowed some pretty thick stuff at 5.5 mph, and didn't bog down to badly. I bought mine without a radio and put an Alpine stereo and polk audio speakers in it, and it sounds pretty darn good. And, that stereo and the speakers were cheaper than the radio from JD. Speakers were a pain to get to, but made a world of difference from those paper cone speaks they put in there.

The stereo and the Michelin Radials made the biggest improvements on this tractor.

How hard was it to put in your own radio? I am thinking of having them leave one out and I can get one I like better.

No biggie. Just remove the 4 screws from the bottom of the housing. Order an adapter from a 2001 VW Jetta when you order your radio from Amazon or whoever and you'll be able to plug right in to the factory Deere harness that is up there. The antenna wire is there already, you'll need to buy an antenna. You can get a really nice high end stereo for $200 to $250.

The lightbar field mapping and GPS system is expensive but pretty cool.

Still learning how to use it. I've only spent a few minutes with it but it sure looks like it is going to be cool.

Oh, wow! Thanks for the pics, dstacy! Definitely fired me up. What a great looking machine!

I did same as you, got last year's 2012 surplus before 2013 EPA T4 emissions models, 'cept a wee smaller: JD 1026R :scratchchin:

But I tell ya, I love the little guy almost just as much! 2 mos. & 40 hours already. And you betcha I'll have a winter cab on it!

Thanks again,

The 5093e I am looking at is listed as a 2013 but I know it went into service in Jan 2013. So I don't know if it is a 2012 or a 2013. Regardless - no tier 4 stuff.
