Considering the 5065E

[parhamfarms2615]

I currently own a 50hp Massey Ferguson 2615 with the L200 loader.8x8 trans,2wd,pre emissions tractor. It has done everything I have needed on my 55 acre farm but recently I have had a chance to operate a 5075E on a friend's farm. I really enjoyed the power reverser option but I do think the 75hp is a little big for my needs so I am considering the 5065E. So i have done some research but haven't found much in terms of reviews for the 5065E.My friend loves his 5075e but hasn't had it long enough to really see it through long term. I have only owned nothing but Masseys (4 total,1 Kubota,1 Ford).I want to make the switch to a green machine if it is a capable machine.i routinely run a disk,spring tooth harrow,bush hog,7ft finish mower,and I would like a grapple. So if anyone has experience with the 5065E with power reverser please let me know.Thanks in advance

Bought a 5065e Cab model 4wd new in 2015, only issue was I bought some bad fuel & had to drain tank & replace fuel filter. John Deere had a recall on wiring to rear connector, technician came out & corrected. If you can see my profile it pulls all equipment with ease.

If a bare bones 5055e will work, there a lot of 2015 low hour (200-400) lease returns listed on tractorhouse $12500-14000 range.

If I had to get that series of tractors the inky was would be by getting one of the new models out this year. They have made some tremendous improvements

What tremendous improvents? I spoke with my local JD dealer and he didn't mention any changes for the new models. Was quoted 36,500 for a new 5065E with PR trans,fel and mfwd,loaded rears and 1 remote

Here’s the YouTube video. The hand throttle move would be enough of a reason for me. If I was buying new I would only get one of the 18s. I had nightmare with 2 5055e cab tractors and I believe they addressed most of the issues. They also have a 5year powertrain warranty

I don't get this size thing....5045E 5055E 5065E 5075E were all physically the same size and weight when on the same size tires and same options.

Only difference is the fuel setting, seems to me the Tier III tractors were only a pump screw away and decal number from being any of the tractors in the series.

I'd vote on the 18 after seeing that...looks like they solved the stupidly high hood of the Tier IV ones. Wish they still had the flat top fenders of the Tier III models.

They have much more differences than meet the eye. Bigger ones have intercoolers, bigger rear ends, different injectors etc. frame size is the same but there’s many subtle differences. I want to say that you can get bigger tires on the larger ones vs the 45s but it’s been a few years since I studied up on them

I am in the process of trading in my 2012 5075E OOS for a 2018 5075E Cab version. With the current specials JD is offering and whatnot, my dealer is selling it to me for $36,650.

Why is there such a big gap between engine and pto horsepower?. 67 engine but only 49 pto.

I was leaning towards a MF 2607H but after looking at the 5E series that's where I'll likely spend my money as the value just isn't there for the MF when their financial price is less than $2500 from what I'm being quoted, and the Deere would even cost less without the PowrReverser which I definitely recommend. I had a chance to look at a 2018 5045E and it's definitely improved overall. Wish it still had the step on the right side but the pre-18's are a pita to get on and off on the right side with the loader remote anyways. Still the newer model has better ergonomics with more leg room and the foot throttle moved out from under the brake pedals.

I said this in another thread I made. The 2600H seems like a good cash priced tractor but their finance price adds thousands to the cost of the tractors which makes is not look like as good a value when compared to some of its competition. The Deere just has too may extra features to justify the MF when they are priced that closely IMO.

From my understanding JD under-quotes their PTO power. That's what the dealers tell me and if you look online they generally test 3-4 HP more than what they're rated at from the factory.

I'll have to do some part number look up when I have a chance, I know at least locally all 4 models (in tier III) came on 9.5-24 and 16.9-28 though the smaller models were supposed to have 13.6 & 14.9 standard.

Unless things changed those tractors had to run MAX RPM to turn 540. I would guess the HP curve also gave more HP and a lower RPM, but at redline the HP curve was falling off.

ROPS 5075E (III) were 61 PTO HP, cab was 57 PTO HP, I asked dealer why and he said they had know reason it was different other than the A/C would rob power.

This is a good resource for the actual tested HP in UNL.
