Just ordered JD 5075e

[rjm5133]

Just ordered a 5075e with a 9 foot kuhn rotary disc mower to add to the fleet. Now i will be running 3 tractors with 9 foot kuhns and an 8 foot bush hog for. should be able to get some serious grass cut. ill post up some pics when it comes in.

Also if anyone has experience with this machine i'd like to dear how you like it. looking to add a 12 or 15 foot rotary cutter to the fleet as well, any input is appreciated.

Congrats on your new tractor! :thumbsup: Lookin' forward to your pictures - with the Kuhn disc mower!

There's a fair number of the 65E and 75E's up here, now. Probably 30-40 just this past year in the local area. Commercial fishermen use quite a few of them to work on beach locations to harvest salmon. Wet sand and mud and heavy fishing nets and gear. Plus totes (containers) of fish that average 3,000 - 4,000 pounds when full. So, the tractors get a serious workout!

Very solid, dependable machines.

Me too. My 5075e will be delivered on Saturday. My local dealer would not make a deal with me so bought it from a dealer 250 miles away and they are delivering it for free.

Congratulations! :thumbsup: Rock solid tractors and easy on fuel, too.

Sorry to hear that your local guy is a bit hardheaded.. When you can't reach a suitable compromise for both parties... tends to stick in your mind whenever you have to buy parts, oil, filters, etc. in the future, too.

triplemoutdoors,

Congratulations on the new tractor. Let me know how you like it. What will you be using it for?

Sorry to hear about the dealer troubles, i'm lucky enough to have a great relationship with my local dealer, which i feel is very important when purchasing equipment

Congratulations. Here's wishing you many hours of enjoyable and productive Seat Time. :thumbsup:

It is one nice tractor! I was able to get 1.5 hours on the tractor today. I'm going to us it for loading hay, maintaining a 1700' gravel road and keeping the fence row clean.

Did it qualify for $1500 off with purchase of two implements?

 

[rjm5133]

Triplemoutdoors,

Glad to hear you like your new tractor, I'm hoping to get mine in the next few weeks.

I will be adding this machine to my mowing fleet, it will spend most of it's time mowing a couple hundred miles of right-of -way

 

[rjm5133]

5075e is at the dealer, just waiting on the kuhn gmd 600 and the deere mx8 to get in. Hopefully later this week. I'll get some pics up when they arrive.

 

[triplemoutdoors]

I have 11 hours on my 5075e now. I sure do like it. I was using the box blade on my 1700' gravel road and when it loaded up the back wheels started spinning I slipped it into 4WD and kept on going. I have also used the forks to pick up brush piles to consolidate them. I'm happy with my choice.

A wise old grader operator once told me the only rule of running a grader was "When the wheels spin raise the blade" .
Enjoy your tractor. Can't wait for mine. :-(

I bought a new 5075E last fall, but I sure don't like the little front tires they use. not only are they small, but they have a low capacity rating too.

I have the heavy duty 553 loader on my 5075E, the dealer said that is the one the tractor is rated for. I've been moving tight wrapped round bales with one bale on the front and one on the back last weekend and will finish this weekend. What is the weight limit on the front tires? I'll be sure to keep an eye on them.

Same loader here also. I have the 9.5x24 Goodyear R1 ag tires, they have a load rating of about 1,600lbs, which doesn't leave you much room with the heavy duty loader, grapple, and round bale of alfalfa or grass hay.

In comparison, I did some research and found Trelleborg tires that are rated at 3,660lbs each. I would have traded mine in right away, but the tire shop wanted $1,700 for the two tires, and would only give me $500 trade in. Yikes.

Ultimate yield strengths and normal load ratings are two different things. Your R1s are probably well up to the task. I'd wear them out and use the experience gained from your actual conditions to choose the right replacements.

Hopefully I'll be picking up the tractor and two mowers tomorrow. Took a while for the mowers to come in but they are finally here. I'm excited to see how everything works. I'll try to get some pics up soon

 

[pclausen]

Congrats! Looking forward to the pics. I hope to be able to pick up my machine today as well after having the loader installed.

Btw, you sure got a lot of tractors! My guess would be that you mow commercially?

 

[rjm5133]

pclausen, Yes i do mow commercially. I specialize in heavy commercial, industrial, and municipal property maintenance. I also cut about 320 miles of right-of-way.
