Economical horsepower available in 5003 Series tractors from John DeereFor farmers and ranchers looking for an economical tractor in a durable, compact package, John Deere introduces a new line of 5003 Series tractors. The series features four models--5103, 5203, 5303 and 5403--ranging from 45- to 74-engine horsepower and available in two- and four-wheel drive options. "These new tractors feature 2.9L John Deere PowerTech engines, designed with turbocharged performance to help operators get more done, day in and day out," says Mike Alvin, product manager, John Deere Commercial Products. "The engines provide excellent torque and fuel efficiency, and offer durable horsepower for many applications." Two transmissions are available. The 9F/3R SyncReverser for two-wheel drive models provides an in-line synchronized shuttle shift that allows operators to switch directions without having to come to a complete stop. The 9F/3R SyncShuttle for four-wheel-drive models offers the same features and allows forward synchronized shifting with clutching between gears on-the-go. The four-wheel-drive models feature a heavy-duty front axle with 55-degree turn angle and limited slip design, which increases drawbar pull and improves traction when operating in slick conditions. The four-wheel-drive centerline design provides excellent maneuverability and more crop clearance when operating in the field. An excellent 10 degrees of axle oscillation follows uneven terrain and reduces stress and maintenance costs. "A straddle-mount operator station on the 5003 Series tractors is designed for easy entrance and exit from either side and improves the operator's ride and visibility," explains Alvin. "Platform-mounted shift levers and suspended clutch and brake pedals contribute to a very clean design. A deluxe vinyl seat with mechanical suspension provides a comfortable ride." An open center hydraulic system provides excellent flow for running implements. Separate hydraulic flow is directed to braking and steering to maximize implement performance. All 5003 Series tractors come equipped with a single rear SCV for additional versatility and dual rear SCVs are available as field-installed kits. Dual mid-SCVs with joystick control are also available as factory- or field-installed options. "These tractors provide great value for the dollar and an economical solution for a variety of tasks including mowing, baling, spraying, loading, and tilling applications," concludes Alvin.
