With a 12/12 power reverser and 3 rear remotes, we have a 5325 that mated with a 5303.

I don't know if anyone signed up for the John Deere new product release email, which you can see the new products now, or else the new products should be on the deere site tomorrow, according to the new product email.
Here is the press release on the new 5 series
John Deere 5D, 5E, 5E Limited, And 5M Series Utility Tractors
I especially like the 6D series.

Nice find guys.
I think that purely on esthetics, I prefer the 5003 over the new 5E series. The shielded exhaust is kind of snazzy though.
I'm guessing that a replacement hood for my 5303 is over $1000. I don't even want to think about replacing the new series hood with the built in lights and whatnot. Hopefully it's a modular one-piece design.
I see they are back to using the Cararro front MFWD axle whereas my 5303 has a Dana. I've always wondered which is preferable.
In the 5055D picture (1/4), they left the super-handy handle off of the right front fender. In the 5055E picture (2/4), they have the optional rear work light installed wrong. The wire is supposed to pass through the mounting bracket enroute to the ROPS hole. How's that for picking nits?

John Deere has updated their website detailing the new models in 5 and 6 series!

I still want to know what the tractor is that they are unveiling...
Did anybody notice the 24 speed is gone as far as I can tell in the 5 series?

The builder got updated - the 24 is still available on some models. The 12/12 is standard on the Ms it seems.

My bad - I meant limited. I like the new numbering, but having to figure out all the new products will take a while.
I can't find any more info on the wood chippers.
Man, I wish they had that rear hay spike when I bought mine from Tractor Supply. The nut on the spike keeps bending my 3rd link when I take it to the top. What a pain - I am going to just have a bent one and a good one.

For me , I'd much prefer if they simply left the numbers alone and just changed the tractor. I can't keep track of all the new numbers nor what their equivalents are. For many people, a replacement tractor purchase doesn't much happen before ten years and yet, numbers would probably have changed 3 times. All the tractor companies should take a lesson from Caterpillar. They've had the D series dozers going on for 60 years. If I had to replace a D6 I bought in 1975 I know I'm looking at the same dozer in 2008 size wise. I'll let the salesman tell me the differences from the dozer I bought 43 years ago. At least I have an inkling of what to start looking at.

I suspect the D6 you bought in 75 and one in 2008 might as well have different numbers.
Having the HP in the number makes a lot of sense to me.

I can live with the letters after the basic dozer is identfied. As I said it gives one a starting point and the salesman can explain the rest. If I'm looking to replace a Kubota 2850, what current tractor number is its equivalent? Today a Mahindra 2816 is the same tractor as the 2615 a month or so ago.. It doesn't make sense to me to keep the HP number in there if the company is going to change those numbers frequently. Pick a number such as JD 800. If its a hydro put an "H" next to it, If its a shuttle put an "S" and so on. I know what size and weight I'm looking for right away. The details can be explained by the salesman if it has a different motor, hp, tires, lift capacity even new fenders or hood.

Yeah - I think in some ways they are covering part of that. 5 & 6 on the size HP in the middle and feature level on the end. They have a lot of letters left to use.

The weight changes are due to the configuration choices of the particular dozer. But I still know where to start. It would be more difficult if Cat called the D6 a D2840 or a D3649 or D4669 or based their numbers on other sensicle or obscure numerical/letter configuration. If I owned a JD 870 today and 15 years from now or for that matter right now, wanted to purchase the similar tractor, where do I even start to look?. I think what I am most looking for in this crazy world we live in now is an assemblance of order that is enduring, instead of praying on the alter of the corporate mantra of "buyer excitement perception" and change everything so to create a perception of shiny, new and "with it". Ahhh, I'm still living in 1964.

I gave up trying to figure Deere's model numbering system, and the salesman I deal with pretty much said there is little rhyme or reason to it.
