So i bought a 2013 5075E in 2014, 2wd, no cab, dealer added 5 suitcase weights plus weight hanger block, along with an extra set of remotes. I added a fiberglass canopy and running board mats. It weighed in at 6890 with a half tank of fuel and me not on it. It now has 160 hours on it with most of that pulling a 10 foot bushhog. The only issue I've had was a dry rotted fuel line which was replaced under warrenty and while they where here the replaced the starter. The starter worked fine but said it was a recalled. The day they delivered the tractor it dyno'ed at 74 PTO HP. Yeah I was there and watched it. After they did the two year inspection they dyno'ed it again at 82. I wan't there for that one. The inspection revealed no problems. I did add about a quart of coolant because of a leak. I tighened all hose clamps a little more with no further loss. The saleman did tell me this common on these tractors before I bought it.I understand I bought a low end tractor feature wise but here are some things i'd like to add/change/improve. I would like a light in the dash to show the preheater is on. I should have added a horn and a brushgaurd. The shift from R-2 and back is great and 3-2 is good but the rest are no where near synconized.I plan to add a toolbox at the back of the tractor.I'd like have some dye in the hydraulic fluid so I can see it on the stick.As I said in a earlier post I pulled a JD 459E baler with it with no issues. Holler back if you have questions. .
