High engine torque values improve engine lugging ability to momentarily sudden loads. It also improves overall tractor lugging ability or sustainability of the tractor for sudden heavy loads due to a change in soil properties.

Additional benefits for the operator:

• No frequent gear change is required
• Ability of tractor to run at low possible engine rpm (erpm) with higher gear selection
• Improved operator comfort as less intervention is required to operate position control (PC) and draft control (DC) levers

Features of the John Deere engine

A specially designed piston spray jet system in the engine provides an oil spray below the piston. This unique design system provides continuous oil spray on the piston and helps dissipate excess heat, optimizing engine operating temperature and improving engine efficiency. The optimum engine operating temperature also enhances the life of critical engine parts and reduces maintenance costs.

• Provides additional lubrication to critical components of engine
• Enhances overall engine performance
• Reduces maintenance costs
• Increases life of the engine
• Maximize engine overhaul period

The John Deere 5D Series offers a dry-type air filter with dual filter elements, which ensures clean air gets to the engine.

• Enhances the engine life
• An air restriction indicator alerts the operator when air filter is clogged
• Lower operating costs compared to oil bath air cleaner
• Easy to service compared to the oil bath air cleaner
• Single-piece hood opening provides better accessibility to air filter

Hydrostatic power steering ensures smooth steering operation with fewer operating efforts.

High-level benefits of hydrostatic/power steering:

• Smooth steering without reverse jerk on steering wheel from steering system
• Low steering operating efforts
• Enhanced operator comfort
• Enhanced tractor maneuverability
• Power steering utilizes common oil, so no routine check is required and provides high durability

The John Deere 5D Series Tractor has inboard wet-disc brakes after planetary reduction.

The brake pedals have a provision for a lock-to-operate braking system in transport or individually in field applications to facilitate a shorter turning radius.

• Effectively dissipate the heat generated during braking
• Higher braking efficiency
• Longer brake disc and system life
