Price Check 5055E price check

Khiggins, you might consider starting a new post, if you are looking for a comparison between these two tractors. You might also want to indicate if you are looking at the 2WD or 4WD 5055. If you are going to do much loader work go with 4WD. I would also look at getting a tooth bar, if you are going to use it to clear load. At a quick glance at the 4005, I would not purchase it, because transmission is collarshift (have to stop to shift gear and range), 35 HP PTO and 5055 is 45HP PTO. Not sure why you are going to be bush hogging every 2 weeks, so I thought you might find this URL of interest.

We have 40-acres in fields and 20 in woods. Similar needs to what you described. I got the 4WD 5055E. Delivered Saturday and I have been quite pleased with the decision.

Ordered a WR Long OBG-1 Root Grapple along with the 3rd function kit to go with it to help with the clearing. Hope to have that installed in a week or so. Will let you know how that works out.

5055E is a no frills solid machine. Works for me.

I have been kicking tires the last few years.I need in the mid-high 40 PTO HP.The older 5205 fit the bill.I see it has changed to a 5055E now.Both are 179 CI engines but now they are turboed.How come the older engine had same HP without the turbo ?

I believe the main function of the turbo on the 5055e is for cleaner emissions.

I checked out a 5045e today at the dealer, he told me today, with jd's deals he could sale it to me for 21,349.00, but that will likely go up to like 23,000.00 after the deal they have on them ends.. how much is the 5055e no options, just it being 4wd? how much more than the 5045e? thanks
