New 2014 John deere 5075E is gutless, Can i TURN IT UP?

[quadmaster50]

Hey guys, i stubbled across a pre-emissions 2014 Deere 5075E with the 2.9 power tech engine. Its mechanical injection though a BD4 pump..

I like the tractor, it has a/c :thumbsup: Its GUTLESS, in the 540E pro mode it will hardly even run a 6' rotary in light field grass... It is pretty strong unless it you let it get under 2000 or so RPM and its like it just De-fuels and takes a SHH-IT.. NO smoke at all, My deere 5400 has exact same engine and pump and is a power house, at least when it is running at 1600 or so RPM i can hit the gas and it actually responds..... This 5075 1600 rpm, you can floor it and hardly notice anything at all... most gutless tractor I've ever owned, unless its 2200-2400 its not mowing, bog it below that you have two options. Stop, or shut off mower because pump won't fuel it enough to pick back up sometimes and just boggs and hangs at 1000-1200 rpm, again not a bit of smoke...
Its brand new, has 3.2 hours, yes i changed fuel filter for ***** and giggles

Time for an overhaul...

You are talking to the wrong people. Your dealer needs contacted. Any modifications that you make to the fuel injection pump will void your warranty.

Well there is a catch to this, it was used as a "rental/loaner" for the dealership even tho never used it was started in sept 2014 so it has nothing left and the dealer just says its just the way the newer tractors are. If you run it WIDE open its ok, unless mower hits dirt and gets it lugged down to under 1800-2000 and its game over.

injection pump is a Stanadyne part # DB4327-5986, I cut the lock cap off the " torque screw" and backed it out but it didn't do much. SLIGHTLY if any better

I can't figure out how to post picture but my 2015 5065E would shut down also & it was a strainer in fuel tank restricting fuel flow. Dealer cleaned it and a few months later it happened again, I removed it & placed an inline filter where I can see it, that was over a year ago & no problems since.

Don't run in epto would be the biggest thing my 5055e cab I had would spin a mx7 on in anything but heavy pasture. It would be slow going in B1 to keep it in the 500s pto speed. Can't believe it doesn't have any warranty left. Usually doesn't work that way until they sell it, as a rental they usually still give the factory warranty as an incentive to buy. When I'd mow, it's 540 pto, wide open and go to town. Only used epto for post hole digger type chores.

After 2 years, I had enough and moved up to a 5100e. Mine was the last year pre emissions too

Just for S&Gs*, put an inspection camera into your fuel tank and have a look for anything unusual.

Biological growth in the tank can do weird things to your tractor's performance & fuel-flow rate.

This is the strainer before it was cleaned, looks like bio diesel gel & the inline filter.

keep in mind that some of that fuel has been in that tractor an awful long time,
so very possible you have other areas affected other than
just that 1 filter.
i think most here would agree it isn't normal for this tractor to fall on it's face
so easily
