2WD front axle and cab on 45- to 55-kW (60- to 73.7-hp) 5E Tractors
Made of heavy-duty steel for added reliability, the 2WD front axle is adjustable in 50.8-mm (2-in.) increments to adapt to a wide variety of applications.
The front axle provides 10 degrees of axle oscillation, allowing the axle to follow uneven terrain for a consistent performance, comfortable ride, and reduced stress and maintenance costs on axle spindles.
A 55-degree turn angle provides excellent maneuverability for high-torque tasks in tight spaces.
The steering cylinder is bolted directly to the rear of the front axle, so the axle housing protects the steering cylinder from potential punctures created by rough terrain, rocky soil conditions, or thick crop material.
Broadening the 5E 3-Cylinder Tractor product lineup to offer a 2WD front axle in a cab configuration provides you with the well-known benefits of the 5E 3-Cylinder Tractors in conjunction with the ability to stay out of the elements and have the tighter turning radius that 2WD front axles provide.
Increase drawbar pull and improve traction when operating in slippery conditions with a limited-slip, heavy-duty MFWD front axle provides.
Benefits
Reduce wheel slippage in demanding conditions getting the required torque to the ground
Diminish soil compaction with less tractor ballasting compared to two-wheel drive (2WD)
Increase fuel economy
Longer tire life
Excellent maneuverability and high crop clearance
Additional details
MFWD engagement switch on right hand console on 5M
Steering connections are protected by axle shown on 5E 3-Cylinder
Turn around in tight spaces with a turning radius as short as 3.54 m (11.6ft). Operate with consistent performance and enjoy a comfortable ride from the ten degrees of axle oscillation that follows uneven terrain.
Axle oscillation also reduces the stress and maintenance cost on the axle spindles because loads are consistently spread across the entire axle. The centerline design eliminates the need for drive shaft universal joints that require regular maintenance. Anti-wrap shielding on the driveline is standard to prevent crop material and debris from building around the driveline and ensures tractor performance. Minimize maintenance time while maximizing front axle performance with conveniently located three grease points.
NOTE: When MFWD is engaged, an indicator light will appear on the dash. See operator’s manual for additional details on operation and adjustment.
5E 3-Cylinder Series Tractors can be equipped with as many as five (up to two rear and three mid) economical and versatile spool-type SCVs. These SCVs provide a high-flow rate for the tractor's hydraulic system with the open-center hydraulic system.
Benefits
Additional versatility in configuration for one up to five total SCVs depending on needs with ability to upgrade in the future
Color coordinated controls located on the right side provide a user-friendly and ergonomic operator experience
Upgradable, stackable mid-SCVs give producers a cost-effective way to add a true third function to your tractor
Operators not using the tractor for loader work can select a less mid SCV option

Triple Mid-SCV with 520M loader lines installed
Mid-mount SCVs are the recommended option for loader operation and feature a detented float position on the first valve and a regenerative position on the second valve for faster loader bucket dump cycles.
Add more versatility to loader with a third function allowing use of grapple, 4-in-1 bucket, or other loader implements requiring additional hydraulic function. Factory-installed triple mid-SCV available starting with model year 2023 provides true third function over previously available field-installed diverter kit (2+1 function). Also starting with model year 2023 the dual mid-SCV has a stackable design to allow for future upgrade to a triple mid-SCV if third loader function is required.
Each valve features extend, retract, neutral, and float positions and is controlled by a unique joystick-control lever mounted on the operator's right-hand side.
Mid-SCV joystick-control lever
Joystick-control mid-mount SCVs on OOS tractorst
Third function button on joystick control
Tractors that are equipped with dual or triple mid-mount SCVs are controlled by a user-friendly and ergonomic joystick, operating independently of the rear SCVs.
The joystick is designed to mold to the hand for increased comfort which comes standard on factory-installed dual or triple mid hydraulics
Securely move around the work site with confidence the material will stay in the bucket with the safety lockout feature that guarantees the joystick does not respond when the lock is on
When leaving the field or parking the tractor in the shed, Go-Home lighting will provide light as you make your way to your vehicle or house. Included with the Premium Cab on 5E 3-Cylinder tractors.
Allow for 30 seconds of light after the engine is shut off when Go-Home lighting is activated
Avoid battery drain with automatic shut off headlights
Through the following steps, the go-home lighting is engaged:
Park the tractor
Move the key to off position
Press the Go-Home Lighting button within 15 seconds
After pressing Go-Home Lighting button, the go-home feature is activated (headlight turns on automatically) and the operator can easily walk home with the help of the headlights. After 30 seconds, the headlights switch off automatically.
Easily perform repeatable raising and lowering of the rear hitch with EQRL
Simplify repetitive rear hitch lifting and lowering tasks with the Electric Quick Raise Lower (EQRL) on 5E 3-Cylinder Premium Cabs. EQRL uses one button to raise to transport height and another to lower the rear hitch back to your prescribed depth.
Reduce effort preforming raise/lower functions of rear hitch
Save time setting the prescribed depth and consistently returning to it
Accurately maintain depth or lift height
Comfortably complete repeatable tasks with ergonomic controls at your fingertips and proximity to other common controls like throttle, PTO, and MFWD engagement
EQRL efficiency gains:
Moving bales – keeping your rear bale spear depth perfectly set to align to the center of the bale then raise to transport height
Disking/Mowing – raise mower when making turns and return to desired height
Box Blade/Land planning – creating smooth surfaces for your driveway or field
Snow blading/blowing – reduce the risk of damaging driveways and roads
EQRL buttons work in tandem with rear hitch depth control and top-link load sensing draft control levers
The SyncShuttle transmission is designed to match the excellent power and torque characteristics of the John Deere PowerTech™ engines. The 9F/3R SyncShuttle provides nine forward and three reverse speeds with in-line synchronized shuttle shifting.
Benefits
Transmission durability is enhanced with the pressure-lubricated top shaft, allowing the operator to achieve performance from one working season to the next
Easy and comfortable shifting
Operator-friendly transmission controls with hand throttle
Additional detail
Additionally, the in-base transmission is configured with fixed draft links, single-speed power take-off (PTO) and mechanical PTO engagement.
The transmission is characterized as full top shaft synchronized (TSS) when forward shifting on-the-go between speeds and is characterized a synchronized while depressing the clutch.

Easy and comfortable shifting
Operator-friendly transmission controls with hand throttle
Synchronized shifting in all forward and reverse gears
Range selection pattern
Nine forward and three reverse (9F/3R) speeds are achieved by using two platform-mounted levers for shift operation. The gear lever at the operator's right hand selects one of three forward gears and one reverse gear, as well as the integrated park position. The range lever at the operator's left hand selects collar-shift A, B, and C ranges.
Operators can easily switch directions without having to completely stop the tractor with synchronized, in-line, shuttle-shift capability between forward and reverse gears on the gear-shift lever in all three ranges (A, B, and C ranges).
A neutral start switch requires the gear-shift lever be in the neutral or park positions to start the engine.
A positive park pawl on the transmission provides positive park and eliminates the need for a hand brake. This also eliminates clutch service costs that occur when the park brake is accidentally left engaged.
Power an implement at 540 PTO rpm at a lower tractor engine rpm with Economy PTO (540E PTO). Depending on the transmission, the 540E PTO engine requirement could be as low as 1588 rpm. 540E PTO is ideal for many lighter-duty applications including mowing or spraying that do not require full engine horsepower.
Benefits
Save fuel
Reduce vibration and noise level
Increase engine life
Additional details
How does 540E PTO work? On John Deere Tractors, the shiftable 540/540E mode operates a little like shifting gears on the transmission. By engaging economy mode, the operator changes the gear reduction ratio keeping the PTO spinning at 540 rpm while reducing the engine rpm. When the operator shifts the PTO back into the standard 540 mode, a different gear ratio is used to operate the PTO at 540 rpm and the engine at standard PTO rated speed.
To operate in economy mode, the shiftable 540/540E lever must be in 540E and then the throttle can be increased to the appropriate rpm. When in 540E, the tractor has a throttle limiter that keeps the operator from increasing engine rpm over the 540E setting. The limiter is used to prevent accidental over-speeding of PTO implements and protection against binding the PTO shaft.
The 540E setting cannot be used with full advertised PTO horsepower. If full PTO horsepower is required, operate the tractor in the standard 540 mode.
Details on the engine rpm required for standard 540 and 540 economy mode can be found in the operator’s manual along with additional details on operation and adjustment.
Stationary operation of the rear PTO with operator out of seat
Stationary PTO enable switch (cab)
Stationary PTO enable switch (OOS)
The stationary PTO enable switch is in base for all 5000 Utility Tractors produced starting on 1 November 2020 (except for the 5E 3-Cylinder Tractors with 9F/3R transmission which began in November 2021). The PTO shuts down if the operator leaves the seat with the PTO on. Stationary operation of a tractor PTO-powered implement allows the operator to leave the driving position with the PTO engaged by pressing the stationary PTO enable switch. See operator’s manual for additional details on operation and adjustment. Refer to the chart below for models with the stationary PTO enable switch in base.
Ample speeds and ease of operation for demanding applications with the 12F/12R PowrReverser. This transmission comes standard with a dual speed 540/540 economy power take-off (E-PTO) is ideal for applications requiring frequent directional changes such as loader work.
Benefits
Effortlessly switch directions with a small finger motion using the clutch-less electrohydraulic fingertip directional lever
Frees the right-hand to operate other tractor controls, such as the loader, rear implements, or throttle, as the directional lever allows the operator to steer and shift direction with the left-hand
The control is located on the left side of the steering column and selects forward, reverse, and neutral positions
Ideal for rear blading and any applications that require frequent directional changes in tight spaces
Lower engine vibration, reduced noise, less wear and tear on the engine, reduced fuel consumption, and increased operator comfort from the standard economy PTO (E-PTO)
Additional detail
Electrohydraulic reverser lever
NOTE: A neutral start switch requires the directional lever be in the neutral position to start the engine.
12F/12R transmission includes:
Hydraulic wet clutches (forward and reverse)
Maximize durability and outlast the life of any dry clutch
When tractors are run by multiple operators with a variety of experience levels, a wet clutch is the best way to maintain transmission integrity and performance while decreasing clutch replacement costs
Platform-mounted shift levers (four gears, three ranges)
Two platform-mounted levers offer easy and comfortable shifting for a pleasant operator experience
The gear-shift lever is easy to reach, and the less-used range lever is shorter. Unique knobs make it easy to distinguish between the two
Left-hand reverser
Constant-mesh helical-cut gears
Provide quieter operation and excellent reliability while the pressure-lubricated top shaft adds to the transmission durability
Fully enclosed, rigid shift linkages for short throw and crisp shifts enable all operators to clearly know in what range and gear they are operating
Pressure-lubricated top shaft
Positive park pawl: provides positive park and eliminates the need for a hand brake
Neutral start switch
The forward lever selects one of four gears. The operator must depress the clutch while shifting. The rear lever selects one of three ranges: A, B, or C.
The PowrReverser has a built-in engagement override valve for additional safety. This valve requires the clutch pedal to be depressed one time after each engine start before the transmission will begin to operate normally, giving the operator another opportunity to put all focus on the tractor.
The speed of directional changes can be adjusted to the operator's preference or application demands with the field-installed infinitely-variable control kit.
See the PTO functional area for more information on E-PTO.

Excellent Tractor
5/5
The 5055E was bought new and has been owned for a few months. So far, the tractor has more than exceeded my expectations. It is used for bush-hogging (5-footer), Plowing (20-disk large harrow) and various other farm requirements. This tractor more than holds its own and above all, the ease of use is outstanding.

Upgraded from a 4 series and blown away!
5/5
I traded my 4052M in for 5055E after I ran into trouble on my small 40 acre plot in south Alabama. The 4052M just didn't have enough ground clearance which led to several breakdowns breaking electrical and hydro lines hitting stumps and brush. I have to say I am blown away at the 5055E with only 8 more engine horse power than the 4052M it feels like double the tractor! The pulling power, the loader power, PTO power, the transmission, the ground clearance, and the strength of the front axle really set this thing apart from other tractors in its class. I know the E series is the economy class but it really doesn't feel like it. John Deere has really improved the E series over the years this thing feels and operates like a more refined tractor than an economy model. If your worried about the E series being an low end model (I was skeptical at first) don't be as the 2020 model 5055E will not disappoint. I even let a good friend and neighbor use it for the afternoon and the first thing he said when he brought it back was " wow this is a strong tractor ". Certainly recommend!

Superb utility tractor!
5/5
This tractor has surpassed my expectations (and I had very high ones). Whether doing mowing of dense tall field grasses or the severe clearing of wooded areas of 3” saplings (with a 6 ft Woods 720X), loading wet 5x5 bales, or the bucket filled with soil or gravel, this green beast never sweats. It’s very rare I that ever have to exceed 1600 rpm (with the ePTO), and the versatile 12 speed power reverser is just simply sweet! Absolutely no regrets, no remorse, totally satisfied with both the tractor and my dealer, would buy again in a heartbeat.

Nothing but troubles since I purchased it
2/5
2018 5055e purchased with 200 hrs. New loader scratched and bent from being chained down during shipping. Hydraulics won't lift what my 4 series did. Deere says Hydraulics need adjustment. Power steering vibrates when turning the wheel. Deere says its normal. AC blows warm air. Deere says check filters maybe too warm out. Fuel tank started leaking. Ordered new. New tank has no spots to attach grouns. Deere said tap to frame. New tank has the wrong size (too small) Fuel attachment. Deere says nothing they can do but put in a reduction fitting to attach fuel line. Starts very hard. Deere says its normal. 80 degrees now can't wait till winter. Biggest piece of junk I've ever owned.
