5R Tractors can be ordered with AutoTrac integrated in the tractor display.

AutoTrac is a great solution if you are looking for a lower-cost integrated guidance system for your utility tractor. For the straight track only feature, you will no longer need an additional display or display activation. When a 5R Utility Tractor is ordered with AutoTrac Ready (code 1803), the AutoTrac screen is included; all you need to add is a StarFire™ 6000 Receiver.

Benefits of AutoTrac on the tractor display:

• Simple and user friendly
• Total cost of integrated AutoTrac is 36 percent lower by eliminating the need for a precision ag display
• Reduces startup costs with no display activation or subscription fees
• Reduces operator fatigue
• Eliminates implement overlap and optimizes machine efficiency

5R Tractors can also be factory equipped with a 4240 Universal Display that transitions AutoTrac guidance from the tractor display to the Gen 4 4240 Universal Display for additional capabilities:

• On-screen mapping
• Documentation
• Section Control

Compact tractor users often work in challenging environments, including in and around barns, fields, or livestock areas. Maneuverability is a priority as space can be limited at times. Implementing the single-piece mid-frame designs and the curved frame enabled the wheelbase of the 5R to shrink by 50 mm (3.9 in.) when compared to the Stage IIIB (Interim Tier 4 [iT4]) 5M Tractors.

The CommandQuad manual transmission expands the proven reliability of the PowrReverser™ transmission with a four-range, four-speed transmission that enhances operator convenience and productivity through fully electronic powered range and gear shifting. The CommandQuad manual uses the same robust final drives, rear axle, and differential as the already proven 5M iT4 PowrReverser transmissions. Rather than using mechanical synchronizers, the CommandQuad manual utilizes powershift clutches. Also, electrohydraulic cylinders move the range shift rails instead of a mechanical lever. This provides excellent ease of use and more efficient operation.

The CommandQuad manual transmission is equipped with 16 forward and 16 reverse (16F/16R) speeds, a left-hand reverser, and four powershiftable gears in four powered synchronized ranges. The CommandQuad manual transmission also comes with pressure and flow compensating (PFC) hydraulics in base equipment, with the ability to choose open-centered (OC) hydraulics from the factory. The base CommandQuad manual transmission operates at speeds as slow as 1.9 km/h (1.18 mph) with rolling circumference index (RCI) allowing for speeds up to 40 km/h (25 mph).

The CommandQuad transmission also comes with open centered hydraulics in base equipment, with the ability to option up to pressure and flow compensating (PFC) hydraulics from the factory. The base CommandQuad transmission operates at speeds as slow as 1.9 kph (1.18 mph) with rolling circumference index (RCI) group 44 rear tires, and speeds up to 40 kph (25 mph).

The Command8 transmission expands the proven reliability of the PowrReverser™ transmission with a four-range, eight-speed transmission that enhances operator convenience and productivity through fully electronic range and gear shifting, as well as automatic shifting capabilities. The Command8 uses the same final drives, rear axle, and differential as the already proven 5M iT4 PowrReverser transmissions. Rather than using mechanical synchronizers, the Command8 utilizes powershift clutches. Also, electrohydraulic cylinders move the range shift rails instead of a mechanical lever. This provides excellent ease of use and more efficient operation.

The Command8 transmission is equipped with 32 forward and 16 reverse (32F/16R) speeds, a left-hand reverser, and eight powershiftable gears in four fully synchronized ranges. The Command8 transmission also comes with pressure and flow compensating (PFC) hydraulics in base equipment. The Command8 operates at speeds as slow as 1.9 km/h (1.18 mph) with rolling circumference index (RCI) allowing for speeds up to 40 km/h (25 mph).

The optional Panorama Roof Cab is designed to provide superior visibility for the ultimate operating experience, especially in front loader applications. This cab includes all of the features of the standard cab operator station and the features:

• Panoramic sunroof with sliding top shade and pull down front sunshade
• Front-corner-mounted speakers
• Subwoofer possible in options
• Additional interior cab light

Controlling speed on the 5R Tractor in loader applications has never been easier. Whether the grower selects the CommandQuad™ manual, CommandQuad, or Command8™ transmission, gear shifting is included as base equipment on any 5R Tractor that is equipped with mid selective control valves (SCVs). These joysticks are mounted to the seat. Since all 5Rs come standard with swivel seats, anytime the operator swivels the seat, the joystick also moves with it. This design improves comfort and operational efficiency by always having the loader controls at the operator’s fingertips.

With AutoClutch, which is standard on all 5R Tractors, the operator no longer has to use the clutch to control braking and re-engagement of the tractor if so desired. The clutch pedal is still on the tractor for those operators that still prefer to manually foot clutch. This provides the ultimate in ease of use, especially in applications where precise control and more stopping /starting is required.

AutoClutch allows the operator to bring the tractor to a complete stop without clutching, while at the same time does not overload the engine. It also provides the ability to inch or creep the tractor forward or reverse on a level surface or incline. Being able to inch or creep the tractor is an important tool for more efficient front and rear implement hookups. AutoClutch also provides the ability to accelerate the vehicle back to normal speed when releasing the brake.

John Deere uses the most efficient and cost-effective solution for the tractor package to meet emissions requirements at each horsepower level. The 5R delivers best-in-class diesel efficiency requiring no refueling at 75 percent load for an 8-hour work day. This advantage can be prolonged by using AUTO mode, operating in stationary power take-off (PTO) applications and through the oil cooler bypass technology.

Putting more power to the ground translates to increased productivity in demanding conditions. Simply put, torque is the useable power that can be achieved. More torque leads to more lugging ability which helps the operator be more productive.

5R Stage IIIB (Interim Tier 4 [iT4]) engines feature up to an 8 percent power bulge when put under load. The power bulge feature of the electronically controlled engine delivers additional horsepower as engine rpm drops below rated speed. Additionally, a 36 percent torque rise provides the force that maintains horsepower as engine rpm drops below rated speed.

When the tractor is under load, power bulge and torque rise work together to get through the tough spots and reduce the need to downshift. Horsepower and torque are mathematically related.

The digital cornerpost display features state-of-the-art electronic instrumentation and blends well with the narrow right-hand cab post. This intuitive design eliminates the instrument cluster once surrounding the steering column while increasing forward facing visibility. In addition to displaying machine information, the cornerpost display also serves as the primary interface between the tractor and operator when adjusting hitch, transmission, hydraulic, and engine settings.

Information included in the display:

• Stop, service, and information alerts
• Exhaust filter cleaning indicator
• Engine rpm (engine speed)
• Fuel-level gauge with low-fuel warning
• Engine temperature gauge
• Power take-off (PTO) engaged indicator
• Range information (F, N, R, P), transmission range and gear indicator
• Gear and AUTO mode indication
• Ground speed
• Target speed (in AUTO mode)
• Field cruise
• Differential lock indicator
• Mechanical front-wheel drive (MFWD) indicator
• Turn signal and hazard indicators

For operators wanting superior comfort and smoother driving, mechanical cab suspension is available for the 5R Series Tractors. The mechanical cab suspension reduces operator fatigue and improves comfort, especially when operating long hours in uneven fields. The system provides stability to monitors in the cab helping to keep them in your viewing area. While offering a smoother ride, this factory-installed option also reduces noise and vibrations inside the cab from the engine, transmission, chassis, and implements one may be operating.

The cab rests on two rubber isolators at the front and two fully integrated shock absorbers at the rear which dampen the vibrations coming through the frame.
