Simplify repetitive rear hitch lifting and lowering tasks with the Electric Quick Raise Lower (EQRL) on 5E 3-Cylinder Premium Cabs. EQRL uses one button to raise to transport height and another to lower the rear hitch back to your prescribed depth.
- Reduce effort performing raise/lower functions of rear hitch
- Save time setting the prescribed depth and consistently returning to it
- Accurately maintain depth or lift height
- Comfortably complete repeatable tasks with ergonomic controls at your fingertips and proximity to other common controls like throttle, PTO, and MFWD engagement
EQRL efficiency gains:
- Moving bales – keeping your rear bale spear depth perfectly set to align to the center of the bale then raise to transport height
- Disking/Mowing – raise mower when making turns and return to desired height
- Box Blade/Land planning – creating smooth surfaces for your driveway or field
- Snow blading/blowing – reduce the risk of damaging driveways and roads
Overview
When leaving the field or parking the tractor in the shed, Go-Home lighting will provide light as you make your way to your vehicle or house. Included with the Premium Cab on 5E 3-Cylinder tractors.
- Allow for 30 seconds of light after the engine is shut off when Go-Home lighting is activated
- Avoid battery drain with automatic shut off headlights
Through the following steps, the go-home lighting is engaged:
- Park the tractor
- Move the key to off position
- Press the Go-Home Lighting button within 15 seconds
After pressing Go-Home Lighting button, the go-home feature is activated (headlight turns on automatically) and the operator can easily walk home with the help of the headlights. After 30 seconds, the headlights switch off automatically.
The same powerful, reliable engine you love, but now no regen required on 5E 3-Cylinder models while still meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Final Tier 4 (FT4) exhaust emissions regulations.

Rear SCVs
The valves are a stackable design and controlled by color-coded levers at the operator's right hand. The single SCV features a detented float position, while the two rear SCV’s first valve features a detented float position and the second valve has a regenerative position.
Mid-mount SCVs
Mid-mount SCVs are the recommended option for loader operation and feature a detented float position on the first valve and a regenerative position on the second valve for faster loader bucket dump cycles.
Add more versatility to loader with a third function allowing use of grapple, 4-in-1 bucket, or other loader implements requiring additional hydraulic function. Factory-installed triple mid-SCV available starting with model year 2023 provides true third function over previously available field-installed diverter kit (2+1 function). Also starting with model year 2023 the dual mid-SCV has a stackable design to allow for future upgrade to a triple mid-SCV if third loader function is required.
Each valve features extend, retract, neutral, and float positions and is controlled by a unique joystick-control lever mounted on the operator's right-hand side.
Mid-SCV joystick-control lever
Tractors that are equipped with dual or triple mid-mount SCVs are controlled by a user-friendly and ergonomic joystick, operating independently of the rear SCVs.
- The joystick is designed to mold to the hand for increased comfort which comes standard on factory-installed dual or triple mid hydraulics
- Securely move around the work site with confidence the material will stay in the bucket with the safety lockout feature that guarantees the joystick does not respond when the lock is on
Overview
Ample speeds and ease of operation for demanding applications with the 12F x 12R PowrReverser. This transmission comes standard with a dual speed 540/540 economy power take-off (E-PTO) is ideal for applications requiring frequent directional changes such as loader work.
Benefits
- Effortlessly switch directions with a small finger motion using the clutch-less 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 steering column and selects forward, reverse, and neutral positions
Ideal for rear blading and any applications that require frequent directional changes in tight spaces
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 detail
NOTE: A neutral start switch requires the directional lever be in the neutral position to start the engine.
12F/12R 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, three 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 forward lever selects one of four gears. The operator must depress the clutch while shifting. The rear lever selects one of three ranges: A, B, or C.
The PowrReverser 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.
The speed of directional changes can be adjusted to the operator's preference or application demands with the field-installed infinitely-variable control kit.
See the PTO functional area for more information on E-PTO.
Overview
Increase drawbar pull and improve traction when operating in slippery conditions with a limited-slip, heavy-duty MFWD front axle.
Benefits
- Reduce wheel slippage in demanding conditions by getting the required torque to the ground
- Diminish soil compaction with less tractor ballasting compared to two-wheel drive (2WD)
- Increase fuel economy
- Longer tire life
- Excellent maneuverability and high crop clearance
Additional details
Turn around in tight spaces with a tight turning radius. Operate with consistent performance and enjoy a comfortable ride from axle oscillation that follows uneven terrain.
Axle oscillation also reduces the stress and maintenance cost on the axle spindles because loads are consistently spread across the entire axle. The centerline design eliminates the need for drive shaft universal joints that require regular maintenance. Anti-wrap shielding on the driveline is standard to prevent crop material and debris from building around the driveline and ensures tractor performance. Minimize maintenance time while maximizing front axle performance with three grease points conveniently located.
NOTE: When MFWD is engaged, an indicator light will appear on the dash. See operator’s manual for additional details on operation and adjustment.
Made of heavy-duty steel for added reliability, the 2WD front axle is adjustable in 50.8-mm (2-in.) increments to adapt to a wide variety of applications.
- The front axle provides 10 degrees of axle oscillation, allowing the axle to follow uneven terrain for a consistent performance, comfortable ride, and reduced stress and maintenance costs on axle spindles.
- A 55-degree turn angle provides excellent maneuverability for high-torque tasks in tight spaces.
- The steering cylinder is bolted directly to the rear of the front axle, so the axle housing protects the steering cylinder from potential punctures created by rough terrain, rocky soil conditions, or thick crop material.
Broadening the 5E 3-Cylinder Tractor product lineup to offer a 2WD front axle in a cab configuration provides you with the well-known benefits of the 5E 3-Cylinder Tractors in conjunction with the ability to stay out of the elements and have the tighter turning radius that 2WD front axles provide.
Overview
The SyncShuttle transmission is designed to match the excellent power and torque characteristics of the John Deere PowerTech™ engines. The 9F/3R SyncShuttle provides nine forward and three reverse speeds with in-line synchronized shuttle shifting.
Benefits
- Transmission durability is enhanced with the pressure-lubricated top shaft, allowing the operator to achieve performance from one working season to the next
- Easy and comfortable shifting
- Operator-friendly transmission controls with hand throttle
Additional detail
Additionally, the in-base transmission is configured with fixed draft links, single-speed power take-off (PTO) and mechanical PTO engagement.
The transmission is characterized as full top shaft synchronized (TSS) when forward shifting on-the-go between speeds and is characterized a synchronized while depressing the clutch.

Easy and comfortable shifting
Nine forward and three reverse (9F/3R) speeds are achieved by using two platform-mounted levers for shift operation. The gear lever at the operator's right hand selects one of three forward gears and one reverse gear, as well as the integrated park position. The range lever at the operator's left hand selects collar-shift A, B, and C ranges.
Operators can easily switch directions without having to completely stop the tractor with synchronized, in-line, shuttle-shift capability between forward and reverse gears on the gear-shift lever in all three ranges (A, B, and C ranges).
A neutral start switch requires the gear-shift lever be in the neutral or park positions to start the engine.
A positive park pawl on the transmission provides positive park and eliminates the need for a hand brake. This also eliminates clutch service costs that occur when the park brake is accidentally left engaged.
Overview
Power an implement at 540 PTO rpm at a lower tractor engine rpm with Economy PTO (540E PTO). Depending on the transmission, the 540E PTO engine requirement could be as low as 1588 rpm. 540E PTO is ideal for many lighter-duty applications including mowing or spraying that do not require full engine horsepower.
Benefits
- Save fuel
- Reduce vibration and noise level
- Increase engine life
Additional details
How does 540E PTO work?
On John Deere Tractors, the shiftable 540/540E mode operates a little like shifting gears on the transmission. By engaging economy mode, the operator changes the gear reduction ratio keeping the PTO spinning at 540 rpm while reducing the engine rpm. When the operator shifts the PTO back into the standard 540 mode, a different gear ratio is used to operate the PTO at 540 rpm and the engine at standard PTO rated speed.
To operate in economy mode, the shiftable 540/540E lever must be in 540E and then the throttle can be increased to the appropriate rpm. When in 540E, the tractor has a throttle limiter that keeps the operator from increasing engine rpm over the 540E setting. The limiter is used to prevent accidental over-speeding of PTO implements and protection against binding the PTO shaft.
The 540E setting cannot be used with full advertised PTO horsepower. If full PTO horsepower is required, operate the tractor in the standard 540 mode.
Details on the engine rpm required for standard 540 and 540 economy mode can be found in the operator’s manual along with additional details on operation and adjustment.
Stationary operation of the rear PTO with operator out of seat
The stationary PTO enable switch is in base for all 5000 Utility Tractors produced starting on 1 November 2020 (except for the 5E 3-Cylinder Tractors with 9F/3R transmission which began in November 2021). The PTO shuts down if the operator leaves the seat with the PTO on. Stationary operation of a tractor PTO-powered implement allows the operator to leave the driving position with the PTO engaged by pressing the stationary PTO enable switch. See operator’s manual for additional details on operation and adjustment. Refer to the chart below for models with the stationary PTO enable switch in base.

I've had Kubota and other tractors, and I have to say this thing is the best!
Location: Montana
Length of Ownership: 3months
Usage: Weekly
This is my first tractor, I have been moving round bales of hay with my excavator for a few years and plowing my roads with a quad. I decided it was time to get a tractor, my neighbor has a Kubota and it was very underpowered for moving round bales, so I looked into bigger ones the Kubota 5060 and the 6550e JD. they were basically the same in many aspects but I got the John Deere with all the attachments about $4000 less than the Kubota. I have the cab module and had it a few months now and moved bales all over and plowed the snow from the roads in comfort. I couldn’t be happier, I will get the tires moved out for more width and stability and the tiers filled with the liquid for better ballast when I get the chance.
Pros:
- this is an excellent machine.
Cons:
- i havent found one yet

I have owned this tractor for three years. I use it to do everything on a 75 acre horse/cattle operation. I have the MFWD, 9F/3R, open station model with a front loader. I mow pastures, haul large round bales, stack large square bales, disk, pull a seed drill, haul firewood, level driveways, spread manure and fertilizer, operate a boom sprayer and pull a hay ride wagon for our annual parish picnic. I love this tractor. It is simple to operate and maintain and it will take a lot of abuse. In three years the only mechanical problem I have had was a small hydraulic oil leak that the dealer fixed immediately. It did not come with an intake air heater, which made it hard to start when the temperature feel below 25, but that was easily cured at a small cost with the addition of the heater.
Pros:
- easy to operate and maintain
- tough
