New "5E" series?

   / New "5E" series? #11  
The hydraulic cylinder rods on my wife's JD 448 Round Baler are coated with something black instead of chrome.

The John Deere cylinder rod features a nitride (black) rod that results in improved corrosion resistance versus a standard chromed cylinder rod.

I googled up the 5000 series and came across this link:

John*Deere 5E 3 Cylinder Series Tractors

I assume it's a European model (altough I can't seem to figure out from which country, as there's no indication), as the styling is completely different. At any rate, there's a little video that I paused when the character was getting onto the platform - it clearly shows an E-brake on the left-hand-side. The one thing I'm concerned about on the 5055E I just ordered is that there's no actuating the rear brakes - only a "park" on the transmission. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about, just a first for me on a tractor. I kind of like the automotive-like e-brake handle shown in the video.

That version of the 5E series is sold in Australia as the Euro Spec. 5E.

In Australia we can also purchase the standard spec. 5E tractors.

Here are links to the operators manuals for the two different versions.

Euro Spec. 5E

Standard 5E

According to the operators manuals I've linked to above, the version that I've referred to as the standard version is actually the version for North America, Mexico and Australia.

not sure if I'm digging the round fenders but the tires sure look beefy and it looks like it has a nicer operator station from what I can see in this small pic
