"These new tractors feature 2.9L John Deere PowerTech™ engines,
designed with turbocharged performance to help operators get more
done, day in and day out," says Mike Alvin, product manager,
John Deere Commercial Products. "The engines provide excellent
torque, fuel efficiency, and offer durable horsepower for many
applications."
Two transmissons are available, the 9F/3R SyncReverser™ for
two-wheel drive models, and the 9F/3R SyncShuttle™ for four-wheel-drive
models.
"The SyncReverser provides an in-line synchronized shuttle
shift of nine forward and three reverse speeds," explains
Alvin. "Operators can easily switch directions without having
to completely stop the tractor between selected shifts which makes
this ideal for loader work. The SyncShuttle offers the same features
plus allows forward synchronized shifting with clutching between
gears on-the-go."
The four-wheel-drive models feature a heavy-duty
front axle with 55-degree turn angle and limited slip design. This
increases drawbar pull and improves traction when operating in
slick conditions. This also gets more torque to the ground, reduces
slippage, and improves overall fuel economy. The four-wheel-drive
centerline design provides excellent maneuverability and more crop
clearance when operating in the field. An excellent 10 degrees
of axle oscillation follows uneven terrain and reduces stress and
maintenance costs.
"A straddle mount operator station on the
5003 Series tractors is designed for easy entrance and exit and
improves the operator's ride and visibility," explains Alvin. "Platform
mounted shift levers and suspended clutch and brake pedals contribute
to a very clean design. A deluxe vinyl seat with mechanical suspension
provides a comfortable ride."
An open center hydraulic system
provides excellent flow for running implements. Separate hydraulic
flow is directed to braking and steering to maximize implement
performance. All 5003 Series tractors come equipped with a single
rear SCV for additional versatility and dual rear SCVs are available
as field-installed kits. Dual mid-SCVs with joystick control are
also available as factory- or field-installed options.
Additional
features include storage locations for tools, parts, and operator
manuals, a fender-mounted tool box, optional factory-installed
loaders, and an optional right side step kit to allow entrance
and exit from either side of the tractor.
"These tractors provide
great value for the dollar and an economical solution for a variety
of tasks including mowing, baling, spraying, loading, and tilling
applications," concludes Alvin. "We
encourage customers to visit with their local John Deere dealer
for more information and a demonstration today."
