9F/3R or 12F/4R speeds with synchromesh shuttle shifting

The synchromesh transmission is designed to match the excellent power and torque characteristics of John Deere PowerTech™ engines. Transmission durability is enhanced with the pressure-lubricated top shaft, allowing an operator to achieve performance from one working season to the next.

The transmission is characterized as partially top-shaft synchronized (TSS), as forward shifting on the go between speeds is not synchronized.

This technology equalizes the speed of gears, thus allowing smooth coupling.

Easy and comfortable shifting

A spacious straddle-mount design with side-mounted control levers makes it ergonomic for the operator and renders these products suitable for Ag as well as commercial applications. 

9F/3R or 12F/4R 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, or C ranges for 9F/3R transmissions or A, B, C, or D ranges for 12F/4R transmissions.

The layout of the gear lever has two forward and reverse gears on the top of the lever, making the operation easy for commercial applications like loaders and dozers.

Operators can easily switch directions without having to completely stop the tractor with the TSS.

A neutral start switch requires the gear-shift lever be in the neutral or park positions to start the engine.

The 12F/4R transmission provides the opportunity for producers to explore niche application compatibility and versatile performance with additional speeds.

Park pawl provides positive parking

A positive park pawl on the transmission provides positive park and eliminates the need for a hand brake. This mechanism is built into the transmission for positive gear locking. Even if there is a failure in the braking system, one is safe from accidental tractor movement.

This also eliminates clutch service costs that occur when the park brake is accidentally left engaged.

More speed options enable the operator to select different speeds for different soil conditions without needing to change gears frequently.

The 540/540 economy PTO allows operators to select the engine rpm for reduced fuel consumption, reduced noise levels, reduced vibration, and less wear and tear on the engine, while at the same time keeping the proper 540 rpm at the PTO.
 
The economy PTO provides 540 rpm to the PTO at engine rpm. The 540 economy mode is ideal for any PTO applications where full engine horsepower is not required.
 
Operating at lower engine rpm decreases fuel costs up to 30 percent and provides additional productivity by improving the operating experience through enhanced operator comfort from reduced noise and vibration.
 
A lever allows the operator to simply change between 540 and 540E when conditions merit the opportunity to save fuel without affecting performance.
 
For heavy-duty operations requiring maximum PTO power, the PTO shift lever is placed in the 540 position, the PTO is engaged, and the engine is run at a rated speed of rpm. This selection gives 540 rpm to the PTO shaft and delivers the fully advertised horsepower at rated engine speed.
 
When the tractor is in economy PTO mode, the engine is electronically limited to rpm, preventing accidental over-speeding of PTO implements and protecting against binding the PTO shaft.
 
This interlock also prevents accidental shifting of the PTO selector lever at engine speeds above rpm, which would lead to downtime for fixing implements or drivetrain components.

A limited-slip, heavy-duty MFWD front axle provides operators with increased drawbar pull and improved traction when operating under slippery conditions. This ensures the operator gets the required torque to the ground for applications that demand more from the tractor. The MFWD front axle also reduces wheel slippage with less tractor ballasting for reduced soil compaction, increased fuel economy, and longer tire life.

The MFWD centerline design provides excellent maneuverability around the worksite and more crop clearance so operators are not driving down their crops or profits. Additional versatility is proven when wheel treads are adjusted with 6 degrees of caster angle and a 55-degree turn angle, which results in a turning radius as short as 3.5 m (11.5 ft) when the brakes are applied, allowing plenty of horsepower to turn around in tight places. Ten degrees of axle oscillation follows uneven terrain, allowing for consistent performance and a comfortable ride.

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. Three grease points are conveniently located to minimize maintenance time while maximizing front axle performance.

NOTE: The MFWD engagement lever is located on the left-hand side of the operator. For the operator’s convenience, when MFWD is engaged, an indicator light appears on the dash.

NOTE: MFWD is not available for E.

The 5E Series Tractor straddle-mount operator station is designed to position the operator farther forward and slightly lower than most other tractors in this class. This design improves the operator's ride and visibility.

Platform-mounted shift levers and suspended clutch and brake pedals contribute to a clean platform design. Suspended pedals also make it easier for the operator to get on and off the tractor, and make clutch operation easier on the operator when the tractor is used in applications requiring the pedals to be used frequently, such as loader work.

Deluxe seat with armrest

A deluxe seat with armrest is available to provide a comfortable ride. The seat is suspended by two springs with a hydraulic dampener. A mid-ride indicator allows the operator to optimize seat comfort.

The operator can adjust the seat up and down along an inclined rail by using a lever located to the right and under the seat. The suspension adjusts to the operator's weight.

Toolbox and water bottle holder

All 5E Tractors come standard with storage locations for tools, parts, and the operator's manual. The toolbox is conveniently located on the left fender for easy access to tools and spare parts that may be needed in the field. It is made from a weather-resistant, durable plastic material.

A water bottle holder is placed right below the gear shift lever on the right-hand side of the operator.

Steps and handrails

Enter and exit the operator’s station with ease. To enhance access to the operator's station, left-side steps are standard equipment on all 5E Series Open Operator Station (OOS) Tractors.

Handrails provided on either side (with heat shield and on fenders) allow 3-point comfortable contact for the operator for easy enter and exit.

An accurate, easy-to-read electronic instrument panel, featuring backlighting for excellent night visibility, monitors these key tractor operating and performance functions:

• Tractor speed
• Service hours
• Tractor running hours for a job
• Total tractor running hours
• Battery voltage

Key indicators are as follows:

QRL diagnostic indicator

The system blinks if there is problem in the QRL system.

• Longer blink – motor problem
• Shorter blink – QRL switch problem (front right side of fender)
• Faster blink – rear hitch control switch problem

Clutch overriding indicator

The clutch overriding indicator results in less clutch wear, improving the clutch life.

If the operator places his foot on the clutch pedal for more than 10 seconds, the clutch overriding indicator starts to blink and the buzzer starts to beep.

After five beeps, the buzzer will stop. However, the indicator will still blink if the operator has not removed his foot from the clutch pedal.

This avoids half-half-clutch-engaged operation due to ignorance.

Five-in-one digital display

• Hour meter - indicates tractor running hours
• km/h - speed of tractor
• Job timer - indicates time consumed by tractor for an operation
• Battery voltage indicator 
• Service reminder – blinks when the next service is due

I'm in the market for an older tractor. I used to have an 8N Ford and loved it, but I have a lot of steep terrain here and I need something with 4x4 and power steering and a loader bucket. I want a diesel about 25 to 50 HP.
It seems 4x4 has only been popular in the last two or three decades. I just don't see many 4x4 tractors for sale that are more than 5 years old. I want one at least 15 to 20 years old.

Who made them and what models are best?

I'm not real picky about brand name but prefer common ones that have dealers in my area like Kubota, New Holland or Deere.

You will find 20 year old Kubota's and such in 4x4 but you will find that they hold value really well. I was looking for something older just like you and ended up buying new due to the 75% or so resale on good clean units.

Chris

Thanks for the reply. What few older Kubotas I've seen for sale were in fact expensive.
Before I was an old man, I used to be a mechanic. I hope I could find a tractor needing repairs at a substantial discount.
Do you know which models of older Kubotas are the best? I prefer low speed naturally aspirated diesels, I understand many of the newer Kubotas are high RPM. Dook, if you go to the Kubota website, there is a "prior products" listing of all the previous models, with their year of introduction, gear type, pto hp, etc. You would probably want the "L" or "M" series, where have been dozens of different models in the 25-50 hp range since the 's. The other major manufacturers have similar listings of their previous models. There is also a tractor blue book, the name of which escapes me, with similar information and values. I've seen it at Tractor Supply.

You can then look at some of the online listing services such as Fastline.com, Ironplanet.com, Equipmenttraderonline.com, etc., to see lots of used tractors on the market. I don't know what will line up with your location and budget, but you will probably get a sense of what kind of equipment is available, and that should help you, even if you are only looking in your specific neck of the woods.

When you are looking at 15-20 year old equipment, the condition of the specific machine probably means more than what brand it is. Kubota, Deere, Massey and New Holland/Ford, maybe a few others, were the primary brands of utility/compact tractors in the '80's and 90's in the hp range you mentioned.

Best of luck. If you let everyone know what you come up with, no doubt you'll get more opinions than you can handle from the TBN bunch.
