Jobs feel easier when comfort comes standard. The Premium Cab on the 5E 3‑Cylinder Tractor is designed for operators to work comfortably in any weather while getting more value from the same‑size utility tractor. With exclusive features like a sunroof with sunshade and Electronic Quick Raise‑Lower (EQRL) hitch controls, the 5E Premium Cab delivers more comfort and more to experience throughout the workday.

• Controls at your fingertips including the ergonomic controls on the right-hand console
• Smooth ride for any operator by adjusting the air suspension seat to the operator's weight and height
• Training new operators is easier with the instructional seat that can be folded away when not in use
• Listen to music or make hands-free calls with included Bluetooth radio and microphone
• See clearly out the back window thanks to rear windshield wiper and washer
• Light the night with LED headlights and work lights for improved visibility
• Gain visibility above roof line when stacking bales or let in air on a nice day with sunroof
• Access through right-hand door makes grabbing items from cab easy from either side
• Exit the cab and find your way home or to the truck thanks to go-home lighting
• Effortlessly shut the rear window with the improved grab handle

Simplify repetitive rear hitch lifting and lowering tasks with the Electric Quick Raise Lower (EQRL) on 5E 3-Cylinder Premium Cabs. EQRL uses one button to raise to transport height and another to lower the rear hitch back to your prescribed depth.

• Reduce effort performing raise/lower functions of rear hitch
• Save time setting the prescribed depth and consistently returning to it
• Accurately maintain depth or lift height
• Comfortably complete repeatable tasks with ergonomic controls at your fingertips and proximity to other common controls like throttle, PTO, and MFWD engagement

EQRL efficiency gains:

• Moving bales – keeping your rear bale spear depth perfectly set to align to the center of the bale then raise to transport height
• Disking/Mowing – raise mower when making turns and return to desired height
• Box Blade/Land planning – creating smooth surfaces for your driveway or field
• Snow blading/blowing – reduce the risk of damaging driveways and roads

ADDING EASE TO OPERATION

Operator comfort is important regardless of the application. Improving the 5E 3-Cylinder Tractor models, the hand throttle has been relocated to the right-hand console. This is 30.5 cm (12-in.) closer to the operator and within easy reach versus the previous location on the center-hand console. Operators may also notice the additional legroom provided by the repositioned loader controls, providing a more enjoyable experience.

NINE FORWARD AND THREE REVERSE SPEEDS WITH IN-LINE SYNCHRONIZED SHUTTLE SHIFTING

The SyncShuttle transmission is designed to match the excellent power and torque characteristics of the 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. Additionally, this in-base transmission is configured with fixed draft links, single-speed power take-off (PTO) and mechanical PTO engagement.

The transmission is characterized as full top shaft synchronized (TSS) when forward shifting on-the-go between speeds, and is characterized a synchronized while depressing the clutch.

EASY AND COMFORTABLE SHIFTING

Nine forward and three reverse (9F/3R) 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, and C ranges.

Operators can easily switch directions without having to completely stop the tractor with synchronized, in-line, shuttle-shift capability between forward and reverse gears on the gear-shift lever in all three ranges (A, B, and C ranges).

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

A positive park pawl on the transmission provides positive park and eliminates the need for a hand brake. This also eliminates clutch service costs that occur when the park brake is accidentally left engaged.
