New 5003 lineup

[gamble77]

This shouldn't be a suprise to anyone but here is the new lineup:

5103: 45 engine
5203: 56 engine
5303: 64 engine
5403: 74 engine

2wd versions have a 9x3 sync.reverser where 2,5,8 gears are in-line synchronized with reverse (much the same idea as the 05 series were/are). The 4wd versions have a 9x3 sync.shuttle where all gears are synchronized. The 512 loader will fit the 2wd versions and the 522 goes on the 4wd, both loaders will be joystick controlled via a fender type mounted joystick (like the current 05's). A machines will come standard with a single rear valve. They look just like the current '03 series except the whole chasis is painted green just like the big ag tractors. The pricing is going to be more aggresive too...just thought you guys might like to know.

thanks for the info! sounds like they made some changes for the better, will deffinatley be interested to see. did they back the hp down on the 5103 some(was 50 now is 45)? i had heard the Euro style fenders werent selling so well here, so i was curious as to why the pulled the 05 series and stuck with the 03 series. will dealers be getting shipments soon? what about pictures we can view online?

Thanks and very interesting. The 4wd versions sound like rebadged 5105's. Are they being made in India, the US, or somewhere else?

Yeah they decreased the hp on the 5103, just to spread the hp margin better along the line. The 4wd take the place of the 5105 & 5205 but aren't in any way linked. They do still have the square top fenders. The build spec on the dealer site doesn't say anything about India, it says Augusta GA...but I find it hard to believe they switched manufacturing to Augusta, guess we will hear more on this as things develop.

Any changes coming for the 5025 series any time soon? At some point I think the offroad emission requirements will follow with the same technology as the onroad diesels, egr, particulant filters, etc.

I would like to buy one before that happens. the 5003 series just keeps getting better and making it harder to justify the 25 series on a $ comparison. I like the bells and whistles of the 25 series, but it gets to a needs vs wants and several thousand dollars.

Any idea on price? I have a 5103 with 60 hours on it that keeps getting stuck in the mud. Maybe looking to trade up to 4WD.

I talked to my local dealer and he's going to check in about a new 5103 4WD. He said that they can already order them. I'll let you guys know what pricing I get.

you'll be taking about a 5hp hit(they went from 50 to 45 hp....only 38PTOhp now) with a new 5103. you might want to get a price check on the 5203 4WD too just for the heck of it. ive been meaning to ask you some questions about your 5103, just never got around to it. ive been debating about getting that series of tractor(5103, 5203, 5303) but never got around to doing anything about it. looking at some used stuff as well. i just cant get past those skinny back tires on the 5103.

I have seen some really good deals on the 5105 MFWD model lately, including one Texas dealer that advertises on ebay. You might check that out along with the new 5103. The 5105 is one nice, simple but tough tractor, and the MFWD with decent sized R1s provides no end of traction. 47 PTO hp on the 5105.
