John Deere 5083e Power Reverser

[Jd5203]

Does anyone know if the power reverser on a 2012 John Deere 5083e is activated using an electronic signal or is it a manual linkage? I am trying to figure out if my camera system will be able to automatically switch to my rear facing camera by using the power reverser. Thanks.

Can't answer your question directly . . . when I did the fore and aft cam install on my B3350, I gave up and took the easy way out using a sub-mini toggle on the loader joystick (there was already as small housing installed there for the 3rd function with enough room to accommodate one more switch. I figured there'd be times when I wanted to keep and eye on the 3-point implement while going forward.

I use the forward cam (mounted center on the front loader) far more than the back one.

This works for bucket and pallet forks. Did make one change and that is the stalk has about a 15* forward bend between camera and top of bucket. Oh, and it's maybe 6" shorter than the one shown. This for clearance issues in some configs with the camera and brush guard. The stalk has a quick clamp for fore and aft and also length.

I like how you added the camera but I will need something more substantial as it is going on for a tree shear my dad just bought so it will be getting hit by branches and stuff like that. I'm going to build a case for it and either put it directly on the shear or on the loader. This is basically what he got, it is supposed to cut a 14.75 inch tree in one cut and larger in more cuts. The salesman said to make sure the tree is back in the wedge as far as possible to prevent the blades breaking. I would prefer to mount it on the loader frame somewhere so that I don't have to undo the weathers each time.

Parts book is on the JD web site. My Father just bought the 2nd last new 5083E in Canada . It had been sitting on the lot ignored because somebody ordered it with ultra shorty wheels for loader work in barns. It's wearing the 16.9-30 tires etc now.

Electro-Hydraulic I would get the instructions from my JD dealer for the backup alarm install, kit LVB 25728. That should tell you where the backup alarm plugs in. I think you will find your machine already has the connector.

If you go with a switch, check ebay seller: on_board_air_usa He has a lot of nice switches.

I agree (I made mine so it swings out of the way easily if I'm working in brush etc.). The camera is very "hardened" by RVS. In your case I'd weld on a 3/16" steel box or guard on the top bar and mount the cam in that. The camera has a quick connect, so changing implements is easy. Then get a separate cam for your loader if desired ($100). I'm really pleased with the RVS system, good definition and easy to see in sunlight (I have a cab though, so that helps). Only time the camera gets faked out is when sun is low and shining right on it, or it's very bright outside and the area of interest is shaded. I guess I could try adjusting monitor but haven't bothered yet.

I'm thinking of putting it on the bottom of the wire mesh at the top of the T due to the fact I'm going to be working in trees with low branches. I might just use zip ties to put it on that way I can take it on and off easily and put on the loader frame when I'm not using the shear. Otherwise I might just get the wireless ones but I don't spend like spending another $100, it's $274 for the monitor and two cameras wired and then $384 for the same but wireless. Also the camera on the loader, when I am square baling I will take it and put it by the knotters to see what's going on there.

Ok, so I just found this in the operators manual. Electro-hydraulic (EH) directional reverser lever (C) provides travel direction (forward or reverse). This means the lever uses an electronic signal to operate they hydraulic to change direction correct. Like in electro hydraulic brakes on trailers, it sends an electronic signal to activate the fluid. Am I thinking right or am I completely lost. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts.

I never thought of this but it would have to work. As for the switch I would not need one because I can change it on the monitor or with the clicker that comes with it, but I would rather it do it automatically when I switch to reverse otherwise it will be more trouble to hit the button then it would to turn around.

"Wireless" is just the camera signal, you still need power to the camera. I think a better application is inside a trailer that you want o monitor the contents and have 12 volts available, such as a horse or livestock trailer.
