Featuring higher horsepower and payloads, better ergonomics and
improved operator comfort, John Deere's new 5R and 5RN Series utility
tractors are rated at 80, 90 and 100hp, and feature the company's new
tractor model designations (see note below).
Replacing the
previous 5020 Series models, the new range includes 80hp 5080R, the
90hp 5090R and the 100hp 5100R. In addition to these standard models,
narrow (RN) versions have a maximum overall width of 1.86m and are
particularly designed for horticultural use, working in row widths
greater than 2.50m.
The new 5R Series tractors' full-frame
chassis design allows a 20 per cent higher payload and therefore the
use of larger, heavier implements compared with the 5020 Series, up to
a maximum weight of 6600kg. The tractors can also be optionally
equipped with a front hitch, front pto and various front loader
packages.
All three tractors are powered by a proven 4.5-litre
PowerTechE turbocharged engine, which is certified according to Tier
IIIa emission requirements. This fuel efficient engine delivers seven
per cent extra horsepower and twice the power boost of previous
models, and features a 20 per cent wider constant power range at
550rpm. High start-up torque and a 30 per cent torque reserve ensure
that these tractors can cope with the toughest tasks.
Two
transmission options are available, both with an electric power
reverser and a new declutch button for more comfortable shifting, for
example during road transport, without using the foot clutch. The
basic 16/16 PowrQuad Plus and AutoQuad Plus transmissions feature four
ranges with four power shifting gears operating between 3.3 and 40kph,
and are available with a 16/16 underdrive option for speeds down to
1.5kph.
The new, higher specification AutoQuad Plus
transmission allows the user to work more comfortably as well as save
fuel, because the transmission shift points can be pre-selected
according to the application to ensure the tractor operates in the
most fuel efficient gear. Further premium features such as single
lever shifting, soft shift and speed matching as well as a parking
lock are all included in the standard tractor specification.
The
newly designed TechCenter cab is tiltable and features 310 degree
vision. Air conditioning and a new, comfortable deluxe seat with
horizontal and vertical air suspension provide premium operator
comfort at a significantly lower noise level of 74dB(A) under full
load. Improved ergonomics include the telescopic and tiltable steering
column and the new gearshift lever, which has a more comfortable shape
and better functionality.
The tractors can be equipped with
three different John Deere front loader models for a wide range of
materials handling applications, making the most of the tractors' high
capacity hydraulics, excellent manoeuvrability and visibility and
integrated mechanical joystick. To create an even more powerful front
loader package, functions such as front loader suspension, the
time-saving MemoSystem and fast dismounting are optionally available.
