John Deere improves 5M tractor offering
New line-up promises more technology, more transmission options, and top-end horsepowerAustralian livestock and hay farmers will have more choices and tech options in their utility tractors with the launch of John Deere’s MY23 5M series tractors, John Deere says.
The range now features five models - 5075M, 5095M, 5105M, 5120M, 5130M, which have been selected for release locally with specifications tailored for Australia’s agricultural landscape.
Key upgrades include the addition of a new 130-horsepower model – the 5130M, and John Deere’s FT4 PowerTech™ engines.
John Deere Australia and New Zealand Production System Manager, Stephanie Gersekowski, said the 5M Series is the smartest tractor on the market in its category, with a built-in display on the dash integrated with AutoTrac™ guidance.
“AutoTrac provides operators with straight-line guidance to help reduce implement overlap and cutdown passes through the field, to save on fuel and decrease fatigue,” she said.
“No other utility tractor on the market offers this level of integrated guidance on a mid-spec utility tractor, meaning the 5M provides unmatched productivity potential.”
The entry-level guidance system can be easily upgraded later by plugging in a premium display for mapping and prescription-based applications.
In addition, the PowrQuad™ PLUS and Powr8™ transmissions are available as options on the 5095M, 5105M, 5120M cab versions and included as standard on the 5130M. Gersekowski said these additional transmission options would make the tractors more simple to use and more efficient.
“PowrQuad PLUS and Powr8 transmissions make it easy for operators to find the right speed with clutchless, push-button shifting between gears, allowing them to focus on their work,” she said.
“The hitch-lift capacity on 5M Tractors equipped with PowrQuad PLUS and Powr8 transmissions has also been increased, to better handle large implements.
“There is also an optional panoramic roof for improved visibility from the cab. These features are especially beneficial when lifting and moving large objects such as hay bales and can increase operator productivity and safety.”
The enhanced horsepower of the 5M lineup will allow operators to use an extended range of 1000 rpm implements such as mower-conditioners, while models with the PowrReverser™, PowrQuad PLUS and Powr8 provide 1000 rpm Power Take-off (PTO).
The MY23 5M tractors are available to order from late 2022. Visit JohnDeere.com.au for more information.
