Just bought a 2007 JD 735 moco. Looked it over and found play in a couple of the turtle bearings (up and down). Dealer said a little play is fine, but I'm wondering if I should replace them anyway. It's going to cut about 600 acres. How much play is ok and anything else I should watch out for...

Maybe you guys don't get as much snow there. I can't push a heavy snow here, drifts get as high as the cab roof in places. If you only get 10-12 inches at a time you don't really need a blower, I just assumed you guys would get similar snow to us in NS, guess not.

After having way too many problems with my newer John Deere and after a lot of research I ended up trading it in of a 5612 Deluxe. Pretty happy with it so far, but only 50 hours on it. Anyone else have a 5600 series? Any issues? Pics of mine can be found at...

More pics Gotta love power heated mirrors First 2 SCV's are electric controlled by joystick, second 2 are mechanical. Haven't used the third function yet but the fourth function is the hydraulic lock for the global carrier which means no more getting on and off the tractor to change buckets...

Bought a new 5093E in 2012 and had nothing but problems. Very disappointing. Tractor had 1200 hours on the clock and spent 2100 hours at the dealer in the 3 years I owned it. Bought a MF 5612 Deluxe. Pretty much equivalent to a 6125R but didn't cost much more then a 5m. Very impressed so...

Anybody bought a 5612? Got a price on a 5612 Deluxe with SL loader, 500kg wheel weights, 600/60R38 rear tires. Trying to decide between this or a NH T5.105 electro command. Price seems a little high, how much should I expect to pay?

Looking to clear a large area for farmland that was clearcut. A lot of debris and large stumps left. I can rent a large dozer or excavator for 10-15k per month and run it 20 hours a day with 2 operators. I only have time to run it for 1-1.5 months a year, but I don't need it all cleared at...

Was mowing silage with a Kuhn FC300 moco 2 days strait. Half way through the second day the pto kicked out, light was still on. Stopped pto restarted ok, but slipped as soon as I started mowing. Stopped and started pto about 10 times, slipping every time and then it just locked up and I mowed...

Update on my transmission problem.... When my tractor was fairly new it developed a very high pitch bearing noise in B3 and B4 with high load (moco, loaded trailer etc) , dealer couldn't find or hear noise. Now with 940 hours the noise is much worse and present in all ranges, causes a terrible...

Hi, I currently have a John Deere 5093e and am looking to upgrade to a NH:). I went to the dealer to look at a T4.85, but the salesman suggested I look at a T5 for my situation. I am very impressed so far, but they are new and no info yet on problems/reliability. Any opinions or knowledge...

Hello, I have about 30 acres of recently cut woodland I would like to clear for pasture (mostly hemlock and spruce, fairly big stumps). I also have another 100 or so I may clear in the future. I would like to mulch it and hiring someone would be to pricey for that much. I was thinking of...

Hello, My 2012 5093E has never had hot air since new. It is hot if it is warm outside but only warm (not warm enough to defrost windows) when it is very cold. It has one contol knob for hot air and one for cold. I noticed yesterday that the one for cold had no effect on temperature at all so...

I did my 600 hour service yesterday and found a huge amount of pressure built up in my front axle(sprayed everywhere when fill plug removed). Figured the vent must be plugged but all I found was a rubber plug in place of a vent on the top front of the diff. Anyone know if these tractors are...

Not sure if it is normal but at full pto speed under load (using moco), I have a very loud high pitch turbo noise. It was always there but seems to have gotten louder, almost defening now. Maybe its just me thinking its louder? Anyone else have this noise? Its a 2012 5093E with about 400 hours.

Anyone know of a hydraulic cylinder upgrade for a 5093 hitch? Factory or aftermarket. I have a Kuhn ga 4501 hay rake that my E can only lift about a foot off the ground. My old 65hp tractor could lift it no problem, but I sold it when I bought the 5093. The rake only weighs 1800lbs but the...

Does anyone use grille covers during the winter? Even when my tractor is plugged in it takes a very long time before I get cab heat and the temp gauge never goes above 1/4 when it is below 0. My truck will do the same thing without a cover but it came with one from factory as well as a...

Just checked my oil after a couple days of loader work (spreading manure) and it is below the add mark, it was full before I started. The tractor has about 50 hours on it. I realize it is normal to burn some oil during break in but that surprised me. Anyone elses 5E do this. Should I add...

I was wondering if anyone has put larger wheels/tires on a 5E or 5M yet. I need to run the factory 18.4 30's to drive through the barn in the winter but could use something a bit bigger in the field. Looks like a 34 might clear but I don't think a 38 wil even come close.

Since I am new to this forum I should start with a little intro first. I am a new farmer (grew up on a sheep farm, took over farm after it being non-operational for 10 years, looking at running 1000 ewes on 400+ acres) so I needed to purchase reliable tractor/equipment. I did a lot of...
