Is Creep Gear Option Available on 5090E / 5100E OS ??

Just like title says ??

I know the 24F/12R is an option but it still doesn’t slow the tractor down in A range 1st gear like the creep option.

Even the 16spd in a M series still isn’t any slower in A1 than a 12spd E in A1 gear.

There is no creeper option on E series. The M series offers creeper with speeds as low as .16 mph at 2200 engine rpm.

My Kubota M6040 is rated at 1.4 mph @ 2600 rpm - 1st gear, L range. I just reduce engine rpm's if I need to go slower. However - you are right, nothing is quite as slow at a set of creeper gears.

I was thinking Creep was ONLY available in a M series 32spd :thumbsup:

All 3 of my E’s are .4 mph at idle in A1 & .7 at 1500rpm.

Which is too fast running a caking machine in a chicken house.

I think certain vegetable farmer seeding applications out West require speeds under .4 mph

I lowered my tractors height AND gearing by swapping from Tall R1 Ag tires TO 12”+ shorter R4 Industrial Tires but a Slower creep gear is still needed at times.

A creeper is available in the 5E 3 cyl units (5045E, 5055E, 5065E, 5075E) with the 9-speed top shaft synchronized transmission. The speed in the lowest creep gear in the creeper is 0.25 mph (400 meters/hour) at full rated engine speed with 16.9-28 tires according to Deere's literature and a calculator. Smaller tires such as the 16.9-24 R4 tires offered on this tractor line would slow this down about another 10%.

The creeper is NOT available on any 5E tractor with a PowerReverser transmission. The PowerReverser is the only transmission option on the 5E 4 cylinder units such as the 5090E and 5100E so no creeper is available. A creeper is available on 5M series MFWD tractors with the 32/16 PowerReverser including open station models.
