Machine Features
Tractor ready for front loader, available directly from the factory

The tractor-ready feature is an option orderable from the factory for the 5M Tractor. This option allows dealers to receive the tractor equipped with the loader components directly from the tractor factory.
The tractors are delivered with the mounting frames, the independent mid-mount valve with hoses and hydraulic fittings, the mechanical joystick, and the multi-coupler mounted and tested.

In addition to the operational parts, one hood guard is provided. This means in less than 15 minutes, the tractor can directly receive the front loader.
Higher horsepower engines
No matter what a utility tractor has to offer, there is no substitute for raw power. The 5M Series Utility Tractor from John Deere provides just that. Power ranges offered from 85 engine hp 5085M model, all the way up to 115 engine hp in the 5115M model.

*At 2200 rpm rated engine speed according to 97/68/EC.
Heavy-duty cylinder block
The heavy-duty cylinder block provides greater strength and rigidity, which results in an extended lifecycle.
Balanced crankshaft
Statically- and dynamically-balanced crankshaft reduces engine vibration.
Cast-aluminum pistons
The high-ring piston design reduces the non-usable air in the combustion area of the cylinders for improved fuel efficiency and combustion so operators receive the most power from every engine stroke. Ni-resist inserts reduce ring groove wear, which would lead to less effective combustion, so operators have an engine that is proactive for performance.
Tee-pee connecting rods and keystone-shaped top rings
Tee-pee connecting rods provide increased strength and durability of both the connecting rod and the pistons, which allows operators to run in a wide array of conditions.
Keystone-shaped top rings move slightly in the groove to clean the carbon deposits, conditioning the tractor to remain ready to work.
- Plasma-coated for reduced drag on cylinder wall and increasing overall tractor life.
Wet-type cylinder liners
Cylinder liners dissipate heat to prevent cylinder distortion and rapid ring wear, allowing operators to see consistent performance. Certified John Deere technicians can easily restore engine to the original specifications after many hours of hard operation. This extends the years of performance.
Full-pressure lubrication system

Full-pressure lubrication system ultimately protects the owners' wallets from maintenance costs. The underside of each piston and piston pin is sprayed with cooled and filtered oil, which eliminates excessive heat for longer life.
The full-flow filter allows the cleanest lubricating oil to be delivered to the engine for maximum performance and filter bypass so the tractor will never be starved for oil due to an exhausted filter.
Easy-to-use controls
Whether an operator is a lifetime tractor driver or a first-time user, the 5M Series is a utility tractor that is extremely straightforward and easy to use.
The 5M iT4 Series has grouped critical controls on the right-hand console in a logical, easy-to-find manner, making tractor operation more efficient for all.
On the 5M Series right-hand console, the engine throttle control, selective control valve (SCV) levers, power take-off (PTO) engagement, and hitch-lift control levers are grouped together, making it easy for operators to locate needed controls.
Enhanced model offerings with narrow cab option
The design of the 5M Narrow Cab Tractors are identical to the standard 5M Series Tractors. Due to the narrow configuration, however, there are some slight changes to meet dimension requirements.
Compared to the standard configuration, handrails, footsteps, and fenders have been modified to meet the required dimensions. The size of the fuel tank is 170 L (44.9 gal.).
5M Narrow key dimensions:
Overall tractor width rear (320/85 R36) | 1721 mm (5.6 ft) |
Overall tractor width front at the ground (280/25 R24) | 1678 mm (5.5 ft) |
Overall width from front hub to front hub | 1824 mm (6 ft) |
Flange width front axle | 1640 mm (5.4 ft) |


John Deere 5M Series cab provides increased operator comfort and productivity


All 5M models are available with the well-known and proven cab from the previous 5M Tractors. For the 5M Standard Tractor, there will be four different cab configurations available:
- Economy cab (tiltable windscreen/heater)
- Standard cab (fixed windscreen/ A/C)
- Premium cab (fixed windscreen/AC/sunroof)
- Narrow cab (fixed windscreen/AC)
This cab has been evaluated as one of the most comfortable cabs in this tractor class by various independent agricultural magazines. The 5M Series' cab is an outstanding feature offering a huge variety of options such as:
- Bright colours and high-quality interior material for a comfortable and friendly working environment
- Perfect visibility thanks to curved rear windows, rear implement window, and optional available sunroof
- Ergonomic cab layout and design
- Different exhaust options starting with a horizontal exhaust to the vertical exhaust up to the cornerpost deluxe exhaust
- Excellent visibility to all sides and to the top when equipped with sunroof
- Big variety of options including different seats, lights, mirrors, and different storage solutions



The loader view window and the cornerpost exhaust provide the operator with overall more visibility. This is especially important when doing loader work.
Range synchronisation improves operator efficiency
The 5M 16F/16R PowrReverser™ transmission and 32F/16R transmission have range synchronisation. This allows for the operator to up shift from B to C to D range without having to stop. In addition, the operator can downshift from D to C range without having to stop.
32F/16R PowrReverser™ transmission
The 5M Series Utility Tractor offers a choice of three different transmission options to ensure operators have the correct transmission for the task at hand.
- 16F/16R PowrReverser™ transmission 30 km/h (18.6 mph)
- 16F/16R PowrReverser transmission 40 km/h (24.9 mph)
- 32F/16R PowrReverser Plus transmission 40 km/h (24.9 mph)
In addition to the three transmission options, the creeper feature is available on the 16F/16R PowrReverser and 32F/16R PowrReverser for tractors needing additional slow speeds. The minimum speed for a tractor equipped with creeper is 0.3 km/h (0.19 mph).
The 32F/16R PowrReverser transmission provides 32 forward speeds and 16 reverse speeds for the ultimate in speed selection from up 0.3- to 40 km/h (0.19- to 25 mph). Furthermore, the 32F/16R transmission on the 5M Series provides solutions like push-button controls and the easy-to reach electrohydraulic high/low selector.
