5M Tractor 3-point hitch

Overview

Heavy-duty 3-point hitch provides lift capacity and adjustability for implement versatility with Category 2 implements or adaptable to Category 1. Precisely raise and lower heavy implements such as planters, sprayers, and field cultivators, using the rockshaft control lever. The operator can also adjust the speed at which an implement is lowered by adjusting the rockshaft rate of drop.

Benefits

• Convenience hooking up implements with telescoping draft links, adjustable sway bars, and interchangeable hitch balls with the choice of either mechanical or electrohydraulic controls. 
• Consistency when lowering hitch with depth stop on both mechanical and electrohydraulic hitch controls - each time the position control lever is pushed forward, it stops where the depth stop has been positioned. Useful when preparing a seedbed. 
• Compatible with implements needed to perform multiple jobs. Increased lift capacity is available with optional larger cylinders. See Specifications for lift capacity by model. 
• Convenience when leveling implements with right lift link being able to adjust without tools - lift links can be adjusted for lateral float to allow implements with gauge wheels or skids to follow the ground contour 

Additional details

Mechanical or electrohydraulic hitch control operation 

Raise and lower rear implements with precision with either the mechanical or electrohydraulic (EH) hitch control. The operator can also adjust the speed at which an implement is lowered by adjusting the rockshaft rate of drop. 
 

The mechanical hitch control is paired with the tractors equipped with a PowrReverserâ„¢ transmission while the EH hitch control is paired with units equipped with a PowrQuadâ„¢ PLUS or Powr8â„¢ transmission. Both control types enable the operator to adjust the speed at which an implement can be lowered by adjusting the rockshaft rate of drop. In addition to this feature, the EH hitch control adds repeatable movements by enabling the operator to set both an upper and lower limit.

 
The adjustable depth stop (found on both control types) provides consistency when lowering the hitch. Each time the position control lever is pushed forward, it stops where the depth stop has been positioned. This feature is a value to anyone who desires a consistent, level ground, like when preparing a seedbed. 
 
The center link can be set in one of three positions to accurately set the implement position and draft sensing. The right lift link is adjustable without tools for added convenience when leveling implements. 

Optional larger cylinders:

Sway bars

• Positive park pawl
• Three-speed PTO
• Neutral start switch

Integrated declutch button on transmission control lever

Integrated gear buttons on transmission control lever

Ranges on the transmission control can be selected by moving the controller in an H pattern. The lever selects ranges A, B, C, or D. Ranges are fully synchronized. That means when upshifting, operators can move between any range A-D without stopping the tractor.

Two buttons allow operators to gear up (rabbit) or gear down (turtle) within a range. A PowrQuad has 4 gear speeds per range while a Powr8 has 8 per forward range which is precisely how they got their names.

Hi-Lo selector on gear lever

Overview

For operators requiring more field speeds to achieve the most precise operating ranges, as well as for quickly moving from task to task with transport speeds of up to 40.23 km/h (25 mph), the PowrReverserâ„¢ Hi-Lo 32F/16R transmission is the ideal choice. This transmission provides 32F/16R speeds for the ultimate in speed selection.

Benefits

• Effortlessly switch directions with a small finger motion using the electrohydraulic fingertip directional lever
  • Frees the right hand to operate other tractor controls, such as the loader, rear implements, or throttle, as the directional lever allows the operator to steer and shift direction with the left hand
  • The control is located on the left side of the instrument console and selects forward, reverse, and neutral positions
• Clutch-less hydraulic shifting between forward and reverse
• Convenient push-button controls actuate the electrohydraulic hi-lo selector providing an extra 20% increase/decrease in speed for each forward gear
• Lower engine vibration, reduced noise, less wear and tear on the engine, reduced fuel consumption, and increased operator comfort from the standard economy PTO (E-PTO)

Additional details

32F/16R transmission includes: 

• Hydraulic wet clutches (forward and reverse)
  • Maximize durability and outlast the life of any dry clutch
  • When tractors are run by multiple operators with a variety of experience levels, a wet clutch is the best way to maintain transmission integrity and performance while decreasing clutch replacement costs
• Platform-mounted shift levers (four gears, four ranges)
  • Two platform-mounted levers offer easy and comfortable shifting for a pleasant operator experience
  • The gear-shift lever is easy to reach, and the less-used range lever is shorter. Unique knobs make it easy to distinguish between the two
• Left-hand reverser
• Constant-mesh helical-cut gears
  • Provide quieter operation and excellent reliability while the pressure-lubricated top shaft adds to the transmission durability
  • Fully enclosed, rigid shift linkages for short throw and crisp shifts enable all operators to clearly know in what range and gear they are operating
• Pressure-lubricated top shaft
• Positive park pawl: provides positive park and eliminates the need for a hand brake
• Neutral start switch

The gear lever selects one of four speeds, all synchronized shifts for on-the-go shifting with the use of the clutch. This same lever is where the hi-lo control buttons are located which provide a single shift up/down in speed within each forward range. The rear lever selects ranges A, B, C, or D. All ranges are fully synchronized which means, when shifting, operators can move between any range A-D without stopping the tractor.

The hi-lo feature benefits operators who frequently transport their tractors from field to field or find themselves in bog-down situations during rear power take-off (PTO) work such as baling in variable sized windrows. Customers can push the rabbit button (high) without having to depress the clutch to get a 20 percent increase in speed. They can also push the turtle button (low) to get a 20 percent decrease in speed, similar to downshifting or engine braking without having to grab another gear.

Shuttle control knob

The 32F/16R transmission includes the infinitely variable shuttle control feature allowing fine-tuning of the speed of directional changes to the operator's preference or application demands. This dial adjusts the aggressiveness of the tractor’s directional change. Some prefer a quicker more precise change, whereas other operators are more comfortable with a slow roll out before moving in the opposite direction. This feature can be significant for precision work with pallet forks or changing to bale stacking applications.

The PowrReverserâ„¢ has a built-in engagement override valve for additional safety. This valve requires the clutch pedal to be depressed one time after each engine start before the transmission will begin to operate normally, giving the operator another opportunity to put all focus on the tractor.

NOTE: A neutral start switch requires the directional lever be in the neutral position to start the engine. NOTE: See PTO detailed feature for more information on E-PTO.

Power bulge and torque curve

Overview

When the tractor is under load, power bulge and torque rise work together to get through the tough spots without having to downshift.

As rpm drops, the only way to maintain or increase horsepower is to provide additional torque. Whether bailing wet hay or lifting a heavy load, the additional power allows the tractor to continue performing the job without stopping. The rated economy power take-off (EPTO) speed occurs near the peak torque rise providing power when operator need it in PTO applications.

Benefits

• Increased productivity in demanding conditions with more power when operator need it
• More lugging ability for quicker power recovery
• Additional torque provides force to remain horsepower as engine rpm drops below rated speed

Additional Details

Horsepower and torque are mathematically related.

5M 4-Cylinder tractors provide 4% power bulge. Note: There is no power bulge on 3-Cylinder tractors (5075M).

5E 3-Cylinder Engine

Overview

The U.S. EPA and Environment Canada requires all off-road diesel engines with 18.6 kW (25 hp) or more to meet stringent FT4 emissions regulations.

5E 3-Cylinder models are equipped with powerful, reliable engine with no regen required while still meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Final Tier 4 (FT4) exhaust emissions regulations. The John Deere PowerTechâ„¢ 3029 EWR engine utilizes a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) aftertreatment system – with no DEF fluid, no DPF, and no regen required, you can focus on completing your jobs while your tractor keeps providing the power you need.

• Provide excellent torque and fuel efficiency
• See over the hood with compact aftertreatment design
• Outstanding performance and durability

PowerTech EWL/EWR/EWX/PWL/PWS/PSS/PVS engine identification

NOTE: find a tractor’s 3 character engine identification by referencing the ‘engine description’ in specifications.

EWL	Aftertreatment  X – DOC and DPF S - Exhaust filter and SCR R – DOC and EGR L - DOC and SCR
	Turbocharger  V - Variable geometry turbocharger (VGT)  S - Series turbochargers  W - Wastegate turbocharger
	Technology  P - PowerTech Plus  E - PowerTech E

Several defining features on 5 Series tractors maximize the performance and reliability of the emissions package. A completely shielded DOC/DPF not only protects essential components from damage, it also keeps out dirt and debris. The well-packaged and tightly organized circulation system means there is more room to work around the tractor.

Key components of the emissions system

Shielded for protection

Diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), diesel particulate filter (DPF), and cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) Deere has chosen to utilize an exhaust filter (DOC) and/or diesel particulate filter (DPF) to reduce particulate material so the engine can operate at a level which produces less nitrogen oxide (NOx). With less NOx created, it requires less DEF to treat or no DEF for 3-cylinder models. The result is improved total fluid economy (diesel and DEF). Some applications also reduce NOx using cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) that allows a controlled amount of exhaust gas to be returned to the engine leading to lower combustion temperature for a cleaner, more efficient exhaust.

The engine is programmed to aggressively respond to changes in power needs, which can temporarily increase particulate matter. Since the exhaust filter removes particulate matter instead of the engine, the engine is left free to do what it is designed to do – deliver all ofthe power, torque, plus transient response needed at the exact moment needed.

Wastegate Turbocharger

Wastegate turbochargers are designed to develop more airflow at lower engine speeds to improve low-speed torque. The wastegate control device bleeds off a portion of the exhaust flow at higher engine speeds. Wastegate turbos deliver improved transient response and higher peak torque without compromising engine envelope size. They also provide the lowest installed cost across a given power range.
