    5085M Lights Stay On

    My dad has a 5085M open station tractor he uses sporadically around the farm. Last week his headlights would not turn off unless he disconnected the battery. We have since figured out if the hood of the tractor is open, the lights will stay off. Once you close the hood, they come back on...

    Hi there, I was hoping to get the opinion of others on the forum. I currently own a JD 5205 that is about 12 years old with 3500h. It has been split 3 times due to the PTO clutch burning up. I have been told that it was due to the MX10 shredder that I use on it. After the second time, I...

    What size 3pt planter for JD 5085m?

    Would a JD 5085m with front weights and front end loader be able to handle a 3 pt 8 row Allis planter? I’m unsure of the weight. This would be used in conventional till ground and less than 10 acres a year to plant some deer plots around our farm. Would the 5085m be able to pick this planter up?
