Top Features & Benefits

Deluxe Cab

The deluxe factory-installed, radio-ready enclosed tractor cab offers a long list of creature comforts. Heat and air conditioning plus a comfortable operator station with operator-friendly controls and a deluxe suspension seat help you work long days in comfort. Enjoy panoramic visibility made possible with wide glass panels and minimal obstruction from the inside and outside. Bright headlights and tail lamp enhance your view. A window to the three-point hitch ensures you can monitor implement and attachment work without having to frequently step out of the cab.

Electric Hydrostatic Transmission

5000 platform compact tractors offer an electronic hydrostatic transmission (E-HST). You get the simple, easy change of direction of hydraulic transmission. And the electronic acceleration provides near-effortless effort on the travel pedal to control your speed. EST enables true cruise control which allows the tractor to maintain a set speed to changing ground and road conditions - ideal for work requiring a continuous speed for coverage or application.

Standard Features

Fully featured 5000 platform tractors come with all the standard features you’d expect, including four-wheel drive, rear PTO and Category 1 three-point hitch capabilities. You’ll also get a long list of premium features. Steering brakes assist in maintaining a tight turning radius for working around buildings and obstacles. The anti-stall function prevents engine stall during high-load operations. PTO cruise helps maintain rpm at your preferred setting. Standard rear remote hydraulics, a lever-controlled three-point hitch height, telescoping lower links and angled remote hydraulic valves all improve attachment versatility.
