New 5075E with PowrReverser Delivery

[jenkinsph]

Here's my estimate:

5400lbs - tractor
1500lbs - 553 FEL w/bucket
1200lbs - rear tires filled

Appx 8100lbs total.

That's my math from piecing it all together. If anyone estimates otherwise, let me know!

A lot better than the 5800ish lbs my old 5103 clocked in at!

My 110tlb weighs about the same, I figure 8000 lbs with cab but is only 43 hp. I suspect you will be able to work with the fel much better than your 5103 having the extra weight and hp. Nice tractor and good luck with it.

Yes, 16.9x28's. Water and anti-freeze... so I figured a little on the lower side as we do not get hard freezes down here very often. Thus, I assumed my dealer went heavier on the water than the anti-freeze, ha!

But hey, I will take more weight!

I would like to run by a scale sometime to see what the total weight is, for sure, though.

I was guessing you got RimGuard put in. So I guess even less than 1200lbs, maybe 1000lbs

That's actually good news to me, ha. I put the 5075 on a trailer today and took it about 10 min down the road to mow a friend's small pastures. I was working the gas V8 F250 Super Duty that I bummed from my wife's grandfather to tow it!

Here are a few pics... I REALLY like this tractor. The PowrReverser and 540E PTO are worth every last penny I spent to get that option - wow.

So you popped for the 540E. Good move, and it will pay for itself in short order when mowing light stuff, or running a PTO sprayer pump.
When running a cannon sprayer, I figured out the E-PTO saves us about 400 bucks a year, and near double that over our other Orchard tractor in the same power range.

Just don't forget it's in E, when you realize you can't get full engine RPM's with a cultivator or plow.
I spent a good 20 Min. checking air filter and fuel filter etc. before remembering. I was just about to call the Dealer about the thing not pulling.:ashamed:

One other heads up.
Do NOT forget to throttle down, when switching ranges leaving a field, and headed back to the barn.
Throw it into high range after mowing in B-3, while still at 1800 R's, and flipping the PR is something you do only once.
The acceleration is similar to a steam Cat off of a carrier deck, but without the confidence of having water to land into.:laughing:

Good ta hear the barn didn't get mangled!:thumbsup:

I wish I had the ePTO too.
And the barn looks so roomy and empty. Mine looked the same 18 years ago, then it filled up.

I can definitely see that happening. Thanks for the heads up!

Haha, I was thinking that to myself yesterday... "I better enjoy how spacious this is now!"

I can see it filling up fast. I'd like to get an old, cheap F350 DRW flatbed and my own GN trailer sometime in the future. Those two alone will really fill her up.

I trailered the tractor to mow a friend's pastures yesterday. I took the 553 off to save on towing weight, and I would not need it mowing.

That did, however, cause some fun when loading the tractor with the cutter on the back.
Never did a wheelie on a tractor before until yesterday, haha.

 

[Zebrafive]

I think a front starter weight would not interfere with the loader. May not be enough to prevent wheelies, but makes a h3ll of a front bumper.
