Thanks! We had a 5075M (Model year 2012) that was an excellent tractor. Just ended up being a little short on HP for most of the work we do, and the addition of the new R series features was enough enticement to upgrade. The M series tractors are excellent tractors, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase one any time. This R came down to the added features and the fact we had sold several pieces of equipment we no longer used so upgrading to the R was a worthwhile move especially for how much we do loader work!
Dean I can do a detailed video on the electronic loader joystick next time I have a chance. The joystick controls all three loader functions (lift/lower, bucket tilt, and third hydraulic attachment) as well as transmission (gear up, gear down, and PowrReverser directional change) Additionally, if you purchase the loader suspension option, that feature is also toggled on/off with a button on the joystick. Stay tuned, I will do a video on it.
can you make a video showing how you would use a loader? for example spreading gravel or sand. Im new and i keep stalling motor, I have 5100R with command 8 tranny
Simon Jones i don’t particularly care for the autoclutch for loader work. I’m old school and like using the clutch. The autoclutch is nice for Baler work though!
@@mbarber84 I agree. I almost always use the clutch rather than the autoclutch 90% of the time doing loader work on my 5125R. The only time I use the autoclutch is round baling and creeping in reverse to hook up implements.
@@rickburman7387 do you find that after using the clutch repeatedly that your clutch foot gets tired? I’m not sure exactly what it is about the 5R but the clutch pedal is tiring after 4-5 hours of constant loader work. In My bigger 6 series tractors this isn’t an issue and I don’t notice my foot getting tired. I’m not sure if the pedal angle is different or if the clutch resistance is different but there’s a noticeable difference between the two tractors. I also notice that the 5R clutch does not slip well and makes delicate maneuvering hard to accomplish especially when working in situations where I have to slip the clutch to inch forward going up a slope.
@@mbarber84 I do find that. Almost as if the return spring is too tight. I find myself alternating to the brake pedal as well when my foot gets tired. I also notice that my 5125R will have good days and bad days. Good days- It will shift smooth, clutch is not as aggressive and the 4wd engagement is barely noticeable. Then the bad days when everything is jerky. Clutch engagement, 4wd engagement when high speed braking, the reverser is jerky and the change between trans range BCD is clunky. Its not temperature related, can happen anytime (and will last a few hours). Then I'm back to normal..IDK
@@rickburman7387 mine is identical. There are days when I love it and other days when I hate it. After 5 hours of loader work unloading and stacking round bales in our barn my left leg and foot are ready for a break and I’m ready to sell the machine. I really wish Deere would come out and spend a day or two with me with this machine. It has a ton of potential but there are numerous revisions that need to be made to improve machine performance and operator comfort.
Dale Marshall the wiring for the joystick is routed through a harness that is not part of the seat itself. Although it moves some, it’s not anywhere near as much as you think. This technology has been used in construction equipment for years and is finally making its way to agricultural equipment. The old cable style controls have many flaws too. Ever have a cable sheath crack, take in some water, and then freeze in the dead of winter? ...completely immobilizes the loader until you thaw it. No system is perfect but there are advantages to the new stuff that some are reluctant to see or adapt to. If we stayed in the old ways we’d never progress. I’ll take the electronic stuff any day. The seat moves because it’s suspended using air. And believe me....after 10 hours in the field I’ll take my chances with the suspension seat over an old spring style.
Just the kind of tractor video I like without annoying music drowning out the fantstic sound of the tractor.
I have a 5100M that I love but watching your videos gives me tractor envy lol

I would buy one just for fun. I love the brand, but the 5r is (in my opinion) perfect for loader work and has the comfort of a 6r.
Joystick looks like a good one. Direction change on it is great.
James Prentice absolutely. Best feature ever. Should have been there years ago!

Perfect Tractor
Puurrs like a kitten! Quite cab, but still a nice grunty sound

You have auto clutch so why are you using the clutch between forward and reverse?
Must be just instinct. Good video though.

The hand must go up and down ( speak about steering wheel) . Causes hand fatigue.
The steering wheel does not have a very comfortable position.
Not a very good steering wheel angle. The visibility is excellent!
Look how much the seat is moving how long will the wires from the joystick to whatever they're connected to last junk waiting for mechanic
