john deere 5045e

I see used John Deere 3720 tractors come and go. If you have one, what do you think of it? What kind of hours might be a problem?

I have a 2012 John Deere 5045e 4wd and the transmission area becomes very hot. The hyd oil must become extremely hot. Does this tractor have a hydraulic oil cooler and if not can one be added. If so, where do I get instructions on how to add one

I have a 2012 jd 5045e 4wd with 9/3 transmission. The center hump between your feet gets really hot and I was wondering if there was an insulated cover or something to shield the heat.

Driving me crazy! Warning triangle on dash display with ! keeps showing up without really pulling it down...up a hill or any change in the load. Manual gives same good old response-call your dealer. Warning for all: I bought this new from a major dealer in another state and my local dealer...

Thanks and this is my 1st post! I have a 2000 John Deere 5045e with just a little bit more than 900 hours that has started giving me an issue! After about 1 1/2 - 2 hours of running, it will start loosing power and start blowing white smoke from the exhaust! After it sits for a while and cools...

Hi everyone, We have a 2022 5045e we were using today and it shut off. It has fuel, it will crank, there is a blown fuse, changed it out, keeps blowing when we crank it. I read a lot about disconnecting the thermistor and have read several threads on here with links to the manual but we...

Would anyone have any diagrams to share concerning the circuits involved with the fuse labeled "key switch'? This is my first time dealing with this model. Assuming it's similar to its larger brothers (5055E, 5065E, etc.) but I see I don't have diagrams on those either. I'm working on one that...

I have a 2013 5045E that won't crank. I am trying to diagnose the problem. I have TM901619 29April15. I don't think it is right for my tractor. Can anyone help?

I'm thinking about pulling the plug on a new 5045E, 2 wheel drive. Let me hear the good the bad, should've done, problems, wish I would've got, etc. Why would you, or would you not get one. My 66 1020 has been a trusty steed, but recently developed liner leaks in 2 cylinders. Thanks in advance.

Looking to purchase one of these tractors in 2wd for mowing around our farm. Farm is leased for soybean and corn but i keep field edges and barn lots mowed. Tractor will mostly be used pulling a 6 ft rotary cutter but also a 6ft tiller and light gardening. Also maybe pulling a tedder or rack in...

2015 5045e has a brand new battery as of last week (resolved other starting issues). Used the machine yesterday. Plugged it in last night due to cold but turns out I only connected it at the tractor, not in the barn 😬 It was below zero this morning and then temperature mid-day around 20 degrees...

2015 5045e with about 450 hours. Original battery and 5 year old starter (they replaced during the original warranty period). Slow to turn over - a second or so pause after the first crank, etc. Tough to start already and we’re not even into freezing weather yet. Had some hard starts last winter...

Hi, I was baling hay yesterday and notice the control lever for the 3 point was continually moving to the down position allowing the arms to move down also. When you move the lever it feels like there is no tension on it so it can just vibrate and travel down. Feels like a spring or something...

Hello All - I am about to buy a new tractor. I still need to explore Kubota further but regarding JD, I'm looking at tractors with the large (3,600 lb) FEL, 6' cutter and 48" pallet forks. I am being told insurance is added to these prices and an origination fee will be added. Do the following...

I found out what was wrong with my 5045e John Deere the 10amp fuse kept blowing when I turned the key to start the tractor. After much head banging searching I turned to your form and in about 5 minutes had an answer that corrected the problem and the fuse stopped blowing and the tractor started...

How do you shut off fuel flow to change filter on 5045E Deere? The manual is no help. Did it for the first time and 4 Gals flowed into the bucket as I scrambled to change the filter. Must be missing something. Help!:anyone:

Hey everyone. I know I saw one somewhere, but can't seem to find it. I have a John Deer 5045E with the front end loader 553. I have a grapple, Bucket, and fork lifts, but saw there was a grading blade available. I can't seem to find it now. Anyone have an idea of a part number? I tried my local...

I am not set on a color, I am looking for used in a 4WD/MFWD 45/55 HP ...the 5045E has an unusually long production run in number of years ....it is a 5000 lb tractor in the utility classification rather than compact such as my present tractor ...I am aware that my 30HP 3000lb 1720 Ford with...

Got a deere dealer advertising $160 a month payments on a new 5045E ... figures up to about 10k with the 60 months. ive shot them a message to find out what the details of it are. For those who have bought a 2wd without FEL what was the going price and how is the machine? I am betting the...

Help! The dealership is working on it, but I want to know if anyone else has experienced this problem. My Deere was delivered Thursday. It had 2 hours on it. 4x4 with 240 loader. I started bogging with it that day. 3 hours later it started dying. Sometimes under load, sometimes at idle...

I got a new 5045E and when I engage the PTO the service alert starts blinking. It stays blinking until the PTO is disengaged. Is it suppose to do that or do I have an issue?

I'm in the market for a new tractor that would do a variety of tasks around the house. My land consists of 11 acres total. 5 acres is woods (mostly hard wood trees) and the rest is mature grass. The tasks I will be doing include clearing some of the wooded area, maintaining a gravel drive to the...

I've a 5045E with 275 hours. I had some sheet metal under the tractor and noticed some coolant on it. With a little looking I found a leak on the head gasket on the left side (as sitting in seat). It's mostly been used to pull a 6' shredder, some lifting, and drilling post holes. Nothing...

I'm very close to buying a new 5045e 2wd with loader. In terms of function, this is the right tractor for me. I had been planning to get a low-hours used tractor, but right now I can get what I consider a good deal on one from the dealer just down the road. As I said, I don't have any...

Any thoughts on what would be a good size and model to get for the back blade on a 5045E John Deere? I have a BushHog 7 foot right now that just isn't built up to the toughness needed. We bent a part on it and I want to go a little heavier but not necessarily overkill either. The blade I have...

I stopped and looked at a new 5045E today just to see what was different than my 5055E. First I will say its basically the same tractor just more refined. The operator station area I do like better but under the floor tin is the same tractor as before. I like how they done the floor now because...

I was looking at the 38hp range, in both Kubota (l3701) and Deere (3038E). After driving them both, I thought Kubota had Deere beat on this model. And I still do. I kept reading online, and everyone says think carefully about what you will do with the tractor now and in the future. Anticipate...

I am looking at a 5055E with 16.9-28 tires and 9x3 Transmission I had it for a SHORT test drive around the dealer's lot. Speed chart seems ok, but looks like C reverse is useless for anything, B reverse seemed fast, A reverse slow (snowblower?) B range looks like only "field speeds" C range...

I had my adjustable lift link vibrate completely off the other day. bought a new one and i have to screw it all the way to bottoming out before it gets level. didn't have to do that with the old one. it was about in the middle of the screw when it was level. guess they sent me a shorter...

Hello, new to this forum. I'm a homeowner with less than 10 acres. I recently purchased a new JD 5045E with 553 loader and want to get an "Extreme Stump Bucket" and "Extreme Pallet Forks" from North American Implements in Denton, NC. I live just over an hour from their location, so I will...

I have 2013 5045e. When I have a heavy load (round bale) on spear or in bucket, when I raise the loader a bell dings. Just once and not every time. What does that bell mean? I am having problems with the loader in that when I raise the bucket and let go of the joy stick the loader will keep...

My temperature gauge stopped working on my JD 5045E tractor recently and I need help to see if the temperature sensor is working properly. The tractor runs fine but I do not want to operate it without an idea of what the engine temp is. I had the instrument cluster replaced 2 years ago under...

Does anyone have John Deere 5045E and has done some plowing with it. I have to work up some ground that has not been used for several years and was pretty grown over. I have pulled out most of the trees and brush hogged down all the weeds. I now need to work up the ground. I have a 6' PTO tiller...

Recently our 5045e was put to use on the square baler (which we normally pull with a much larger tractor), and the tractor got worked really hard for about three hours. Operator said temp gauge never got above 3/4ths and it ran well for the first hour or two. Near the end it was really loosing...

While plowing a food plot the other day I noticed that there was a tear in the dust boot on the gear shift lever. Having been through having water enter a transmission via this route years ago I wasn't letting that go even a day. I stopped at my dealer L. F. Trottier & Sons at their So. Royalton...

Hello all. I'm brand new to the forum so please forgive me if I ask stupid questions. I'm just about ready to pull the trigger on a new JD 5045e but had a few questions for the guys that use this equipment all the time. The tractor is really more than I need now, but I plan to move to a...

I started to install the intake preheater on my fathers 5045e today and have ran into some trouble with the wiring/instructions. The kit I got was the right part number for the 5045e, but it was an older kit and the instruction booklet was printed before the 5e series came out (it is also very...

I scored a 1995 eight foot Fisher plow with wings yesterday from Craigslist for $600. It came off a Ford F250 and had all the parts except for the cutting edge and the shoes. All put together it spans nine feet ten inches and at full angle clears seven feet ten inches which is very close to my...

After years of trying to do things around my hobby farm with 60 year old tractors Santa is bringing me a new JD 5045E. This is the first green one in my collection. I am hoping this new toy will do everything I need it to. Can any current 5045E owners share their comments and experiences with...

I was surfing the net for info on a used Deere 5045E i just purchased. I keep getting links to this site for the bulk of the info i was looking for, so here i am figured i might as well join and maybe contribute as well. :cool:

I have a new 5045e that i bought 3 weeks ago and when i run it for long enough to get it fully warmed up then shut it off for about 20 minutes when it restarts it has no power and is blowing smoke way worse than at a full cold start up for about 20 seconds. Does anyone have a similar problem?

looking at buying a 5045 e john deer with a 553 loader. does the 45 hp tractor have enough power for that large fron end loader or should i get the 5055 0r 5065?

Well winter approaches and not wanting to wait for the last minute I ordered a soft cab for my 5045E today from Covermytractor.com With shipping it comes to just under $1900. A lot less then a hard cab if you could even get one from the factory and I'll be able to take it off in the summer when...

After a couple months of reading forum after forum and visiting John Deere, Kubota, and Kioti dealers I had made up my mind on a 5045E. It was delivered today. I couldn't be happier! Thank you to everyone who commented on previous threads I started about buying advice and why you bought a John...

I am currently looking for a utility tractor that is up for keeping up about 17 acres. It will be used for mowing, loading, snow removal and whatever may come it's way. What do you all know about the quality of the MF2615 4WD, JD 5045E, and the CaseIH Farmall 45A 4WD? I will need the tractor...

I was out looking at the John Deere dealer today and was looking at the 4105. 40HP is about the size I want, but after doing a little more research and correct me if I am wrong, but there can't be any factory installed remotes added to the back of the tractor. Another thing I don't like is the...

One of the main jobs my new 5045E will have to do is move snow on a road with 12% grades and break out roads for sugaring in the spring. A good set of chains are a must and I'm starting to shop for them now to not leave it to the last minute. I've searched through the forum and have found some...

:D Well I moved off the fence and ordered a 5045E with a 553 loader with the third function plumbing. Got it with a brushhog and set up as wide in the rear as possible. They say they can have it for me by late June. Round figures it was 30K and zero percent. I better not quit my day job. :cool:

I'm looking to buy my first new tractor and perhaps my last one. I would like to get it right. I'm currently looking at and getting quotes on three tractors. All around 45 HP with loader 4x4 with Ag tires loaded. etc. They are: John Deere 5045E with a 553 loader. New Holland Work-master 45...

So Ive been stuck on team green, but was wondering about going to the Red side..... Anyone have thoughts on the comparison of these two models?

A few pics of tractor

So I'm upgrading from an 870, and from what I can tell the 4005 is just overpriced when compared to the size and capacities of the 5045e. The jd site only lists about 3500 difference between them 4wd and loaders. So this should be apples compared to a larger Apple. Both gear, simple tractors...

Im looking at a 5045e with r4 tires , will be trading in a 2000 4300 , just the 5045 with rear tires loaded what would be a fair price ?

Greetings Everyone, Long time reader first time poster-I am thinking seriously of taking advantage of the current JD 0% financing promo to purchase a new 5045E. Here is a quotation I have received from my local dealer: JDeere 5045E R1 tires with water/anti-freeze in all four tires 553 FEL with...

I'm down to making some initial decisions, and these two are major contenders. The Deere is shuttle transmission, turbo, and hydraulic brakes. The Kubota is sync transmission, non-turbo, and mechanical brakes. The Deere makes its PTO power at 2400 rpm, while the Kubota requires about...

Hello all, I am looking at a new 5045e with 40 hours or so in the midwest. I'm looking at the small ag tires front and rear, mid mount scvs with joystick, coolant heater and intake preheater. On the invoice is freight and setup of around 800. Then I have a total discount of around 1880...

hey guys, new to the forum(TBN), and was looking into a 5045E, brand new. I talked with a couple of dealers and have gotten a few quotes. The best is the 2010 JD5045E for $19,000.00, the JD 553 FEL for $4,900.00, which comes to a total of $23,900.00. Is this inline. I am first time tractor...

Well I finally signed all the paperwork for my new tractor this past Saturday and it gets delivered this coming Thursday! It was raining so hard on Saturday that I did not even get a chance to get out of my truck or dealership showroom to touch the new toy. This picture is terrible due to taking...

Looking at this model, and was wanting some feedback. thanks!

Fist post but long time reader. I was surprised with the delivery on a new JD 5045E Yesterday. We speced this tractor out last Fall and it ended up being my birthday present. :D 4 wheel drive, loader equiped hydraulics, R4 tires, and an MX6 cutter. I hope to post reviews after it sees use...
