5G Series

Who says compact tractors have to be cramped? The redesigned cab has been developed to provide the operator the maximum level of comfort and protection while working in the field or driving on the road.

• The fixed dash and controls are designed for intuitive operation and are logically placed for easy comfortable use throughout the day.
• The pressurised cab helps keep excess dust out, while the silent block cab mountings ensure a quiet, gentle ride.
• 320 degree all round visibility ensures operators have the best possible view while working with rear implements or a front loader.
• The cab lighting includes 4 front and 2 rear H3 work lights as base equipment to fully illuminate implements and the surrounding work area at night.

For an even greater feeling of spaciousness have a look at our redesigned 5G Open Operator Station (OOS).

Full transparency
The frameless glass doors allow easy and safe entrance or exit through handrails and wide opening doors. The fully openable front window enables partial or full fresh air flow into the cab and the adjustable sun visor provides 5° more forward visibility for working with loaders. Better visibility to the side and rear is ensured through curved rear corner windows, a wide opening rear window and the “C” posts positioned in the middle.

Breathe freely
Improved cab sealing provides a quiet pressurised cab with increased efficiency of the heating and cooling systems. The cab pressurisation of max. 1mb minimises the amount of dust entering the cab.

Peace
The four silent block cab mountings ensure a quiet, gentle ride – all day long.

In good hands
With the optional tilt-and-telescope steering wheel, finding the perfect position is a matter of seconds.

The clear, logical controls are easy to use and their uncluttered layout enables intuitive operation.

The 5G series features a 2-lever gearshift with mostly mechanical controls, including the SCVs, reverser, hitch control and PTO. Some electronics are available as options – for instance for the MFWD, DIFF or 3-point hitch.

Grouped range and gear lever
The gear and range lever are located together on the right hand side of the drivers seat to provide single hand shifting and a change in direction at the same time with the left hand reverser.

Multifunction blinker lever
The new multifunction lever contains the indicator, road lighting and horn functions and provides easy use while driving day or night.

PTO
All the yellow PTO controls, engagement (A), speed selection (B), and engine speed or ground drive PTO selection (C) are located in the left hand console and allow PTO speed changes without leaving the cab.

SCVs, rockshaft and hitch controls
The SCV control levers are located together with the rockshaft controls in the right hand console. Right next to the operators seat the mechanical hitch controls are easily accessible. The optional electronic hitch control unit is placed in the front of the right hand console close to the quick raise lower button to allow easy adjustments.

B post controls
All the major work lights, beacon light and wiper switches are located in the right hand B post within easy reach and are backlit for easy identification while working at night.

Like everything else on the new 5 Series, the legendary PowerTech M 4.5 l diesel is purpose-built for outstanding reliability and durability.

It’s easy to service, runs for 500 hours between oil changes and with its Tier III emissions rating and new features, it's more efficient than ever before.

Next time heavy duty work like hauling or ploughing slows your engine down, relax! The PowerTech M delivers constant power across a range of 500 rpm and the maximum torque is up to 365 Nm (Model 5090G). With a reserve of up to 30%, you’ll have all the pulling power you need.

TIER III emission rating
The new PowerTech M engines meet TIER III emissions regulations using mechanical controls for optimal performance. The mechanical injection system generates high injection pressures to improve combustion efficiency and satisfy customers demand for a powerful, fuel efficient tractor.

Turbocharger
All 5G Series tractors feature a new turbocharger to increase both engine power and torque. All engines have a high exhaust gas velocity in their short exhaust manifold system and achieve the best performance with a single channel turbocharger.

Charge air cooler
The charge air cooler lowers the air intake temperatures by between 40% to 50% to provide denser air with more oxygen to the cylinder for cleaner more efficient combustion.

Proven John Deere piston spray cooling, wet cylinder liners, closed cooling and viscous fan systems equals maximum performance, reliability and lifetime value retention.

Meeting emissions regulations with high quality performance requires a very efficient cooling system. The 5G series with its PowerTech M engines, efficiently achieve this goal where excellent heat dissipation promotes an optimised and complete combustion.

Positive cooling
The temperature of the air passing through the radiator regulates the variable viscous fan drive speed. During heavy field work at low ambient temperatures, the slower the running viscous fan drive allows additional usable power for higher field performance and saves fuel on longer working days in the fields.

Engine hood louvers
The engine hood has been redesigned to now include two top louvers and two side louvers. The two top louvers improve air flow into the cooling package while the two on the side quickly allow hot air to exit from the engine compartment.

Easy radiator access
The single piece hood opens for easy access to the super fine screens that protect the radiator. For fast and easy cleaning they can be pulled out to ensure a clean, smoothly running radiator even during dusty conditions.

Electric Power Reverser
The 24F/12R transmission includes as base equipment an Electric Left Hand Power Reverser - ideal for work that requires frequent direction changes, like loader work or tight headland turns.

De-clutch button
The 24F/12R PowerReverser transmission with electro-hydraulic Hi-Lo, includes a de-clutch button to enable gear shifting on the go without depressing the clutch pedal. It conveniently allows the operator to increase his transport performance and comfort, helping to save additional time.

SCV Options
The 5G series offers up to 3 SCVs with an improved hydraulic system that uses flat face fittings and revised pipe routings for greater reliability and durability. The second SCV is always a high performance SCV and its reduced internal leakage provides more holding capacity when working with a rear loader or holding the baler pick-up in position during transport

Quick push pull couplers
All SCV options are available with the optional quick push pull couplers to provide fast and easy connection and disconnection for frequent changes. The auxiliary hydraulic line is simply pushed into place where it will lock itself into position and is released from the coupler by a simple pull.

Rear three point hitch
This heavy duty 3-point hitch design provides up to 26kN lift capacity at ball ends. The category I and II 3-point hitch allows the tractor to be adapted to a wide variety of implements and applications.

The electronic hitch controller is ergonomically located at the front of the right hand console for quick, on-the-go adjustments. The new quick raise/lower button is located in the right hand console.

The rear PTO is a fully independent drive line with a fixed 6 spline shaft for providing power to sprayers, mowers, balers, power harrows, fertilizer spreaders and any other PTO driven implement.

As base equipment the PTO has two selectable speeds (540/540E) and Ground drive PTO, as an option the selectable speeds can be changed to 540/1000.

The 540/540E PTO provides reduced engine rpm for a lower fuel consumption, while the 540/1000 PTO is ideally suited to high horsepower applications where the engine speed can be kept in the constant power range.

All the PTO controls are located in the left hand console and are easily accessible and identifiably to the operator in their yellow colour. Optionally the PTO can be electro-hydraulically engaged with a wet clutch and a switch in the right hand console.

The new stronger and more durable front axle adds further reliability and maintains excellent manoeuvrability. Plus, it provides more load capacity for heavy front loader work.

• Self-adjusting rear brakes to eliminate the need for regular manual adjustments.
• Interlockable, self-equalizing brake pedals ensuring the tractor pulls up in a straight line.
• Transmission housing-integrated brake actuators for added reliability and improved braking forces
• Five oil immersed wet brake discs per side
• Hand brake mechanically activates the foot brake system.

Hand brake
All tractors feature a new hand brake design to minimize the risk of interference with the operator’s leg. The routings of the linkages to the brake actuators are optimised and strengthened to provide consistently reliable hand brake performance.

Hydraulic trailer brake
All models can be equipped with a hydraulic trailer brake. The pre-braking function applies pressure to the implement brakes that is proportionally to the pressure applied to the brake pedal.

While the 5G Series does not have integrated AMS capabilities, John Deere offers stand alone solutions that can be utilised effectively on the 5G Series to meet the needs of small and medium livestock farmers and speciality farmers.

GreenStar Lightbar
If you're new to guidance systems, this simple, fuss-free parallel tracking system is for you. It takes less than ten minutes to set up and works on any John Deere. The system has two components: the new StarFire 300 receiver you mount on your cab and the GreenStar Lightbar display that goes on your dashboard. Each LED indicator on the GreenStar Lightbar display represents a deviation of 10 cm from the ideal track you set.

AutoTrac ATU 200 Universal steering kit
This satellite-based, hands-free guidance system maximises productivity while making life easier for the operator, for instance, when it's dark or dusty. AutoTrac cuts overlap by up to 90% and speeds up headland turns, saving you time, fuel and labour costs. The documentation and implement control software helps you to manage input costs and keep electronic records for crop traceability and other regulatory requirements. The kit contains a StarFire receiver, original GreenStar display and a replacement motorised steering column. It is compatible with SF1 & SF2 signals, as well as with RTK.

With our Displays, you´ll get a whole new view of your in-field operations. Both the push-button 1800 and the touchscreen 2600 feature colour displays.

The redesigned Open Operator Station (OOS) provides the operator with the maximum level of comfort and protection possible while working in the field or driving on the road.
The controls have the same ergonomic layout as the cab and are grouped together in logical functional combinations. The OOS can sneak under low doors and with the platform mounted on silent blocks, a quiet 86 dB(A) makes long working days comfortable for the operator.

Roll Over Protection Posts (ROPS)
The 5G series can be equipped with a two post ROPS. The two post ROPS can be easily folded down to provide a lower profile tractor for working in areas where low clearance is essential.

Comfort seat
This seat provides a good driving position and operator comfort, ideal for working in low profile orchards. It has a wide, height-adjustable seat and backrest with wrap around padding to hold the operator in the seat when travelling over rough or sloped terrain.

External lighting – Highlights
All OOS models feature a single adjustable rear work light as base equipment. Additionally an optional beacon light can be mounted in the center of the rear ROPS.

With a John Deere front loader, you can be sure of better performance, greater durability and perfect alignment. Why? Because we design them as an integral part of your tractor – not something you bolt on afterwards. The extra strength and durability means you can use your hydraulic power to the full. For tremendous breakout force – and faster cycle times.

Mechanical self-levelling (MSL) loaders automatically keep your attachment level during raise/lower cycles. They are ideal for demanding loader tasks where operators need to be really efficient. Non self-levelling (NSL) loaders cost less and are ideal when you don't need to keep attachment levels during raise/lower cycles.

Which loader fits the 5G and my farm?
The 533 (MSL or NSL) is ideal for general farm chores and occasional loading work.
The 583 (MSL or NSL) provides a better lift and height capacity than the 533.
The 633 (NSL) is designed for heavy duty work.

Mounting frames
The mounting frames are designed to support the structure of the tractor by evenly distributing the load over the tractor and are compatible with various front hitches.

2 Function joystick
The mechanical joystick is floor mounted and ergonomically-placed close to the driver’s right hand. Optionally the 2 function joystick can be equipped with a diverter to control a function on the implement, i.e. open and close a bale grapple.

Hood protection
The hood protection is designed to prevent damage to the hood from collision with stationary objects, for example loading a trailer or manure spreader with the loader raised.
