Description
Intuitive controls to aide in simple operation
Adding ease to operation

Enhanced operator controls
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.
SyncShuttle™ 9F/3R transmission - An easy-to-use transmission which saves time and effort
Overview
The SyncShuttle transmission is designed to match the excellent power and torque characteristics of the John Deere PowerTech™ engines. The 9F/3R SyncShuttle provides nine forward and three reverse speeds with in-line synchronized shuttle shifting.
Benefits
-
- Transmission durability is enhanced with the pressure-lubricated top shaft, allowing the operator to achieve performance from one working season to the next
-
- Easy and comfortable shifting
-
- Operator-friendly transmission controls with hand throttle
Additional detail
Additionally, the 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

Operator-friendly transmission controls with hand throttle

Synchronized shifting in all forward and reverse gears

Range selection pattern
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.
No regen required with final tier 4-compliant PowerTech™ engines on 5E 3-Cylinders

A simplified aftertreatment requires no regen and keeps visibility over the hood
The same powerful, reliable engine you love, but now no regen required on 5E 3-Cylinder models while still meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Final Tier 4 (FT4) exhaust emissions regulations. The John Deere PowerTech™ 3029 EWR engine utilizes a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) aftertreatment system – with no DEF fluid, no DPF, and no regen required, you can focus on completing your jobs while your tractor keeps providing the power you need.
-
- Provide excellent torque and fuel efficiency
-
- See over the hood with compact aftertreatment design
-
- Outstanding performance and durability
The engine in this machine is not equipped with a spark arrestor muffler. It is a violation of California Public Resource Code Section 4442 to use or operate this engine on or near any forest-covered, brush-covered or grass-covered land unless the exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrestor meeting any applicable local or state laws. Other states or federal areas may have similar laws. See ‘Spark Arrestor Screen’ in exhaust attachments section if required for your operating area.
