Instrument cluster

Power take-off (PTO) target bars

Overview

Operators can view information in a crisp, vibrant, and useful array on the tractor instrument cluster.

Benefits

• Clear and bright indicators, warning lights, and gauges
• Provides operators with crucial onboard diagnostics through the roll-mode function
• Visibility of engine hours, ground speed, Hi-Lo indicator, forward, neutral, and reverse all at the same time
• Light-out indicator for trailer light, turn light, and hazard light bulbs
• Clearly presented PTO target bars to indicate the correct PTO speeds when operating the PTO

Additional details

There are daytime and nighttime modes which are based on the position of the light switch. The mode adjusts the backlight levels of the display for optimum visibility.

5M Tractor 3-point hitch

Overview

Heavy-duty 3-point hitch provides lift capacity and adjustability for implement versatility with Category 2 implements or adaptable to Category 1. Precisely raise and lower heavy implements such as planters, sprayers, and field cultivators, using the rockshaft control lever. The operator can also adjust the speed at which an implement is lowered by adjusting the rockshaft rate of drop.

Benefits

• Convenience hooking up implements with telescoping draft links, adjustable sway bars, and interchangeable hitch balls with the choice of either mechanical or electrohydraulic controls. 
• Consistency when lowering hitch with depth stop on both mechanical and electrohydraulic hitch controls - each time the position control lever is pushed forward, it stops where the depth stop has been positioned. Useful when preparing a seedbed. 
• Compatible with implements needed to perform multiple jobs. Increased lift capacity is available with optional larger cylinders. See Specifications for lift capacity by model. 
• Convenience when leveling implements with right lift link being able to adjust without tools - lift links can be adjusted for lateral float to allow implements with gauge wheels or skids to follow the ground contour 

Additional details

Mechanical or electrohydraulic hitch control operation 

Raise and lower rear implements with precision with either the mechanical or electrohydraulic (EH) hitch control. The operator can also adjust the speed at which an implement is lowered by adjusting the rockshaft rate of drop. 
 

The mechanical hitch control is paired with the tractors equipped with a PowrReverser© transmission while the EH hitch control is paired with units equipped with a PowrQuad© PLUS or Powr8© transmission. Both control types enable the operator to adjust the speed at which an implement can be lowered by adjusting the rockshaft rate of drop. In addition to this feature, the EH hitch control adds repeatable movements by enabling the operator to set both an upper and lower limit.

 
The adjustable depth stop (found on both control types) provides consistency when lowering the hitch. Each time the position control lever is pushed forward, it stops where the depth stop has been positioned. This feature is a value to anyone who desires a consistent, level ground, like when preparing a seedbed. 
 
The center link can be set in one of three positions to accurately set the implement position and draft sensing. The right lift link is adjustable without tools for added convenience when leveling implements. 

Optional larger cylinders:

Rear fender hitch controls

5M rear fender hitch controls

Operators do not need to carry a tool to adjust the rear hitch. Operators can also raise and lower the 3-point hitch from outside of the tractor with the conveniently located rear fender hitch controls.

Rear quick hitch

An updated three-point quick hitch is offered on the 5M Tractors.

• This updated design is a break from the existing welded quick hitch as the frame is cast.
• The curved design eliminates the potential for contact with the rear fender and extensions.
• The quick hitch is available as a field kit option.

Sway bars

Adjustable sway bars and telescoping draft links can be easily adjusted to adapt to a wide variety of implements. The right lift link also adjusts without tools for added convenience when leveling implements. 

Power bulge and torque curve

Overview

When the tractor is under load, power bulge and torque rise work together to get through the tough spots without having to downshift.

As rpm drops, the only way to maintain or increase horsepower is to provide additional torque. Whether bailing wet hay or lifting a heavy load, the additional power allows the tractor to continue performing the job without stopping. The rated economy power take-off (EPTO) speed occurs near the peak torque rise providing power when operator need it in PTO applications.

Benefits

• Increased productivity in demanding conditions with more power when operator need it
• More lugging ability for quicker power recovery
• Additional torque provides force to remain horsepower as engine rpm drops below rated speed

Additional Details

Horsepower and torque are mathematically related.

5M 4-Cylinder tractors provide 4% power bulge while 5E 4-Cylinder tractors provide 2% power bulge. Note: There is no power bulge on 3-Cylinder tractors (5E 3-Cylinder or 5075M).
