5060E5060E Tractor (60 engine HP)

An accurate, easy-to-read electronic instrument panel, featuring backlighting for excellent night visibility, monitors these key tractor operating and performance functions:

• Tractor speed
• Service hours
• Tractor running hours for a job
• Total tractor running hours
• Battery voltage

Key indicators are as follows:

QRL diagnostic indicator

The system blinks if there is problem in the QRL system.

• Longer blink – motor problem
• Shorter blink – QRL switch problem (front right side of fender)
• Faster blink – rear hitch control switch problem

Clutch overriding indicator

The clutch overriding indicator results in less clutch wear, improving the clutch life.

If the operator places his foot on the clutch pedal for more than 10 seconds, the clutch overriding indicator starts to blink and the buzzer starts to beep.

After five beeps, the buzzer will stop. However, the indicator will still blink if the operator has not removed his foot from the clutch pedal.

This avoids half-half-clutch-engaged operation due to ignorance.

5-in-1 digital display

• Hour meter - indicates tractor running hours
• km/h - speed of tractor
• Job timer - indicates time consumed by tractor for an operation
• Battery voltage indicator 
• Service reminder – blinks when the next service is due

Go-home feature

An innovative feature with 5E premium models is the go-home feature that enables the operator to find the way back home after dark.

When pressing this button within 10 seconds before parking the tractor, the headlights remain on for 30 seconds.

After 30 seconds, the headlights turn off automatically.

The 12F/12R PowrReverser transmission is ideal for heavy applications on 3-cylinder 5E Tractors. The John Deere built PowrReverser transmission provides 12 forward speeds and 12 reverse speeds (12F/12R) for operators requiring additional operating ranges, useful for field work and other applications. The PowrReverser transmission is equipped with a shiftable 540/540 Economy PTO. This transmission is ideal for operators using their tractors to perform in heavy applications. Maximum productivity is achieved with hydraulic power shift between forward and reverse and is ideal for loader and rear blade applications that require frequent directional switches in tight spaces. Excellent modulation allows the operator to shift the direction lever from neutral to forward or reverse, forward to reverse, reverse to forward, from forward or reverse to neutral.

• 12 F/12 R speeds provides more speed options to operator for different applications
• Control the aggressiveness of the forward/reverse modulation on tractors equipped with PowrReverser transmissions
• Forward-reverse shuttle at the steering column helps with changing the tractor movement direction with the help of electrohydraulic valve. Travel direction can be changed without depressing the clutch pedal.
• Synchronized gear-shift mechanism allows shift on the go between main shift gear speeds

 

• Ideal for heavy applications
• Equipped with a dual 540/540 Economy PTO                        
• More speed options
• Faster forward/reverse movement
• Flexibility to control the modulation from a slow response to a fast response

Optional PowrReverser modulation control to adapt aggressiveness of reversing

Also advantageous when turning at the headland is the ability to control the aggressiveness of the forward/reverse modulation. The operator has the flexibility to control the modulation from a slow response, as preferred in precise operations such as loading, to a fast response, as desired in applications when every minute counts (for example in harvest or seeding).

The tiltable steering feature is available on the premium version 5E models.

The tiltable steering column provides multiple positions to adjust the steering wheel.

The operator can choose the most comfortable driving position, thus reducing fatigue and aiding in easy entrance and exit.

EQRL switches are ergonomically located on both front and rear sides. During headland turns, front EQRL switches allow the operator to quickly raise and lower the hitch without operating the PC and DC levers. EQRL switches located on the left-hand rear fender allow the operator to quickly hitch and unhitch an implement, thus helping to maintain the same depth and position throughout the field. This results in less fatigue for the operator, ultimately increasing productivity.

The 5E engines are designed with high torque reserve of around 20-25 percent.

Backup torque is the ability of the machine to keep working as the engine pulls down due to increased load requirements over and above the maximum power.

This backup torque prevents temporary overload, and frequent gear shifting during haulage and tillage applications, thus reducing operator fatigue.

The 540/540 economy PTO allows operators to select the engine rpm for reduced fuel consumption, reduced noise levels, reduced vibration, and less wear and tear on the engine, while at the same time keeping the proper 540 rpm at the PTO.
 
The economy PTO provides 540 rpm to the PTO at 1705 engine rpm. The 540 economy mode is ideal for any PTO application, for running a thresher, straw reaper, and other applications where full engine horsepower is not required.
 
Operating at lower engine rpm decreases fuel costs up to 30 percent and provides additional productivity by improving the operating experience through enhanced operator comfort from reduced noise and vibration.
 
A lever allows the operator to simply change between 540 and 540E when conditions merit the opportunity to save fuel without affecting performance.
 
For heavy-duty operations requiring maximum PTO power, the PTO shift lever is placed in the 540 position, the PTO is engaged, and the engine is run at a rated speed of 2400 rpm. This selection gives 540 rpm to the PTO shaft and delivers the fully advertised horsepower at rated engine speed.
 
When the tractor is in economy PTO mode, the engine is electronically limited to 1705 rpm, preventing accidental over-speeding of PTO implements and protecting against binding the PTO shaft.
 
This interlock also prevents accidental shifting of the PTO selector lever at engine speeds above 1700 rpm, which would lead to downtime for fixing implements or drivetrain components.

Operators can expect sure stops when the unexpected happens in the field, on the highway, or at home with hydraulic wet-disk brakes.

The brake pedals can be locked together for braking action on both rear wheels when in transport, or they can be unlocked to make tighter turns in the field.

The brakes are oil cooled for maximum performance throughout the life of the tractor.

The 5E Series Tractor straddle-mount operator station is designed to position the operator farther forward and slightly lower than most other tractors in this class. This design improves the operator's ride and visibility.

Platform-mounted shift levers and suspended clutch and brake pedals contribute to a clean platform design. Suspended pedals also make it easier for the operator to get on and off the tractor, and make clutch operation easier on the operator when the tractor is used in applications requiring the pedals to be used frequently, such as loader work.

Deluxe seat with armrest

A deluxe seat with armrest is available to provide a comfortable ride. The seat is suspended by two springs with a hydraulic dampener. A mid-ride indicator allows the operator to optimize seat comfort.

The operator can adjust the seat up and down along an inclined rail by using a lever located to the right and under the seat. The suspension adjusts to the operator's weight.

Toolbox and water bottle holder

All 5E Tractors come standard with storage locations for tools, parts, and operator's manuals. The toolbox is conveniently located on the left fender for easy access to tools and spare parts that may be needed in the field. It is made from a weather-resistant, durable plastic material.

A water bottle holder is placed right below the gear shift lever on the right-hand side of the operator.

Steps and handrails

Enter and exit the operator’s station with ease. To enhance access to the operator's station, left-side steps are standard equipment on all 5E Series Open Operator Station (OOS) Tractors.

Handrails provided on either side (with heat shield and on fenders) allow 3-point comfortable contact for the operator for easy enter and exit.

Nine forward and three reverse (9F/3R) speeds with synchromesh shuttle shifting

The synchromesh transmission is designed to match the excellent power and torque characteristics of John Deere PowerTech™ engines. Transmission durability is enhanced with the pressure-lubricated top shaft, allowing an operator to achieve performance from one working season to the next.

The transmission is characterized as partially top-shaft synchronized (TSS), as forward shifting on the go between speeds is not synchronized.

This technology equalizes the speed of gears, thus allowing smooth coupling.

Easy and comfortable shifting

A spacious straddle-mount design with side-mounted control levers makes it is ergonomical for the operator, and renders these products suitable for ag as well as commercial applications.

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.

The layout of the gear lever has two forward and reverse gears on the top of the lever, making the operation easy for commercial applications like loaders and dozers.

Operators can easily switch directions without having to completely stop the tractor with top-shaft synchronizer (TSS).

A neutral start switch requires the gear-shift lever be in the neutral or park positions to start the engine.

Park pawl provides positive parking

A positive park pawl on the transmission provides positive park and eliminates the need for a hand brake. This mechanism is built into the transmission for positive gear locking. Even if there is a failure in the braking system, one is safe from accidental tractor movement.

This also eliminates clutch service costs that occur when the park brake is accidentally left engaged.
