John Deere 5D Series Tractors have higher engine torque values by 8-10 percent in comparison to previous 5D Series.
High engine torque values improve engine lugging ability to momentarily sudden loads. It also improves overall tractor lugging ability or sustainability of the tractor for sudden heavy loads due to a change in soil properties.
Additional benefits for the operator:
- No frequent gear change is required
- Ability of tractor to run at low possible engine rpm (erpm) with higher gear selection
- Improved operator comfort as less intervention is required to operate position control (PC) and draft control (DC) levers
Piston spray system
Oil jet
Features of the John Deere engine
A specially designed piston spray jet system in the engine provides an oil spray below the piston. This unique design system provides continuous oil spray on the piston and helps dissipate excess heat, optimizing engine operating temperature and improving engine efficiency. The optimum engine operating temperature also enhances the life of critical engine parts and reduces maintenance costs.
- Provides additional lubrication to critical components of engine
- Enhances overall engine performance
- Reduces maintenance costs
- Increases life of the engine
- Maximize engine overhaul period
When a vehicle exceeds a normal operating temperature, it begins to damage itself in many ways, including quick deterioration of the engine oil. This deterioration of engine oil lowers the engine performance and reduces the life of engine. This can lead to more consumption of oil and require frequent filling. This causes an increased need for checking engine oil level and an increase in the cost of operation.
An oil cooler system maintains the quality of oil for longer periods by lowering the working temperature of the oil. The lubrication oil passes through the oil cooler before being supplied to the engine components, which provides additional engine oil cooling for severe operating conditions.
- Gives higher engine efficiency in delivering output
- Increases life of engine and provides higher durability
NOTE: Available with 5045D, 5050D, and 5305.
Dry-type air filter
Air restriction indicator
The John Deere 5D Series offers a dry-type air filter with dual filter elements, which ensures clean air gets to the engine.
- Enhances the engine life
- An air restriction indicator alerts the operator when air filter is clogged
- Lower operating costs compared to oil bath air cleaner
- Easy to service compared to the oil bath air cleaner
- Single-piece hood opening provides better accessibility to air filter
Hydrostatic power steering ensures smooth steering operation with fewer operating efforts.
High-level benefits of hydrostatic/power steering:
- Smooth steering without reverse jerk on steering wheel from steering system
- Low steering operating efforts
- Enhanced operator comfort
- Enhanced tractor maneuverability
- Power steering utilizes common oil, so no routine check is required and provides high durability
The John Deere 5D Series Tractor has inboard wet-disc brakes after planetary reduction. A higher brake disc contact area of 545 sq cm (84.5 sq in.) gives better braking efficiency and higher durability with effective heat dissipation due to the oil-immersed brake disc.
The brake pedals have a provision for a lock-to-operate braking system in transport or individually in field applications to facilitate a shorter turning radius.
- Effectively dissipate the heat generated during braking
- Higher braking efficiency
- Longer brake disc and system life
With high-end features like dual clutch (i.e., separate traction) and power take-off (PTO) clutch, the operator has continuous application of the PTO, enhancing tillage quality without leaving untilled soil.
- Nonstop/independent PTO operation
- Better traction/transmission clutch life
- Lower service cost
NOTE: 5036D is available only with a single clutch.
John Deere 5D Series Tractors have MQRL which gives feasibility of lifting implements to the intended position without disturbing the position control (PC) and draft control (DC) levers at a headland turn.
An additional lever is provided to facilitate lifting and lowering of the implement at the headland or whenever needed without operating/disturbing the PC and DC levers.
Benefits of MQRL
- Provides a superior operator experience through better technology and reliability
- Enhances productivity by reducing turning time
- Enhances operator comfort by avoiding frequent PC and DC operation
NOTE: Available only with JD Rockshaft.
Inboard planetary final drives distribute rear axle loads over three points for reduced stress on individual gears and shafts. Operators can expect longer life with less service, which means maintenance time is replaced with profitable production time. The inboard design also permits a wide range of wheel tread adjustments so operators can accomplish more with just one tractor by having the ability to custom set tire treads to meet the specific demands of a variety of tasks.
