Power bulge and torque curve

 

Overview

When the tractor is under load, power bulge and torque rise work together to get through the tough spots without having to downshift.

As rpm drops, the only way to maintain or increase horsepower is to provide additional torque. Whether bailing wet hay or lifting a heavy load, the additional power allows the tractor to continue performing the job without stopping. The rated economy power take-off (EPTO) speed occurs near the peak torque rise providing power when operator need it in PTO applications.

Benefits

• • Increased productivity in demanding conditions with more power when operator need it

• • More lugging ability for quicker power recovery

• • Additional torque provides force to remain horsepower as engine rpm drops below rated speed

Additional Details

Horsepower and torque are mathematically related.

 

 

 

 

5M 4-Cylinder tractors provide 4% power bulge while 5E 4-Cylinder tractors provide 2% power bulge. Note: There is no power bulge on 3-Cylinder tractors (5E 3-Cylinder or 5075M).

5M Tractor 3-point hitch

 

Overview

Heavy-duty 3-point hitch provides lift capacity and adjustability for implement versatility with Category 2 implements or adaptable to Category 1. Precisely raise and lower heavy implements such as planters, sprayers, and field cultivators, using the rockshaft control lever. The operator can also adjust the speed at which an implement is lowered by adjusting the rockshaft rate of drop.

Benefits

• • Convenience hooking up implements with telescoping draft links, adjustable sway bars, and interchangeable hitch balls with the choice of either mechanical or electrohydraulic controls.

• • Consistency when lowering hitch with depth stop on both mechanical and electrohydraulic hitch controls – each time the position control lever is pushed forward, it stops where the depth stop has been positioned. Useful when preparing a seedbed.

• • Compatible with implements needed to perform multiple jobs. Increased lift capacity is available with optional larger cylinders. See Specifications for lift capacity by model.

• • Convenience when leveling implements with right lift link being able to adjust without tools – lift links can be adjusted for lateral float to allow implements with gauge wheels or skids to follow the ground contour

Additional details

Mechanical or electrohydraulic hitch control operation

Raise and lower rear implements with precision with either the mechanical or electrohydraulic (EH) hitch control. The operator can also adjust the speed at which an implement is lowered by adjusting the rockshaft rate of drop.

The mechanical hitch control is paired with the tractors equipped with a PowrReverser™ transmission while the EH hitch control is paired with units equipped with a PowrQuad™ PLUS or Powr8™ transmission. Both control types enable the operator to adjust the speed at which an implement can be lowered by adjusting the rockshaft rate of drop. In addition to this feature, the EH hitch control adds repeatable movements by enabling the operator to set both an upper and lower limit.

The adjustable depth stop (found on both control types) provides consistency when lowering the hitch. Each time the position control lever is pushed forward, it stops where the depth stop has been positioned. This feature is a value to anyone who desires a consistent, level ground, like when preparing a seedbed.

The center link can be set in one of three positions to accurately set the implement position and draft sensing. The right lift link is adjustable without tools for added convenience when leveling implements.

Optional larger cylinders:

PowerTech™ PWL FT4 technology

 

Overview

All John Deere engines are designed and engineered specifically for agricultural applications. The engine powering 5 Series tractors is EPA certified Tier Level 4.

Benefits

• • Efficient and cost-effective operation

• • Allows for greater productivity and ease of operation

• • Responsive power reducing the need to downshift the transmission

Additional details

The U.S. EPA and Environment Canada requires all off-road diesel engines with 18.6 kW (25 hp) or more to meet stringent FT4 emissions regulations.

PowerTech EWL/EWR/EWX/PWL/PWS/PSS/PVS engine identification

NOTE: find a tractor’s 3 character engine identification by referencing the ‘engine description’ in specifications.

Several defining features on 5 Series tractors maximize the performance and reliability of the emissions package. A completely shielded DOC/DPF/SCR not only protects essential components from damage, it also keeps out dirt and debris. The well-packaged and tightly organized circulation system means there is more room to work around the tractor.

Key components of the emissions system

 

 

Shielded for protection

 

Diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), diesel particulate filter (DPF), and cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)

Deere has chosen to utilize an exhaust filter (DOC) and/or diesel particulate filter (DPF) to reduce particulate material so the engine can operate at a level which produces less nitrogen oxide (NOx). With less NOx created, it requires less DEF to treat or no DEF for 3-cylinder models. The result is improved total fluid economy (diesel and DEF). Some applications also reduce NOx using cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) that allows a controlled amount of exhaust gas to be returned to the engine leading to lower combustion temperature for a cleaner, more efficient exhaust.

The engine is programmed to aggressively respond to changes in power needs, which can temporarily increase particulate matter. Since the exhaust filter removes particulate matter instead of the engine, the engine is left free to do what it is designed to do – deliver all of the power, torque, plus transient response needed at the exact moment needed.

Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF)

DEF is an ISO 22241 standard aqueous urea solution consisting of 32.5 percent urea and has a freezing point of -11° C (12° F). A DEF tank keeps the operator in the field longer even when the temperatures drop below freezing. The DEF tank header is integrated with a temperature sensor and plumbed engine coolant lines are used to promote thawing and prevent freezing in the tank during operation.

 

 

DEF tank

 

Mounted near the DEF tank, the engine control unit (ECU)-controlled supply module draws DEF from the storage tank and provides a pressurized flow to the dosing module. When the ignition key is off, the supply module pump will reverse direction to return any accumulated fluid back to the tank. The supply module is also fitted with a replaceable filter to prevent contaminants from entering the dosing lines. Both the supply module and dosing lines are electrically heated and controlled by the ECU to determine when diesel exhaust fluid dosing can begin.

Selective catalytic reduction (SCR)

SCR is the final step in the process of reducing engine exhaust emissions to meet FT4 regulations. This process allows for the flow of engine exhaust dosed with DEF to pass from the SCR, reducing the presence of NOx converting it from NH3 to N2 (nitrogen gas) and H20 (water). The SCR canister is a welded, stainless assembly which requires no service. It also serves as a thermal insulator and provides additional noise reduction.

 

 

Integrated declutch and gear buttons on single transmission control lever

 

Overview

A more productive transmission in a mid-spec utility tractor is found with PowrQuad PLUS and Powr8 transmissions which builds on the clutchless hydraulic shifting between forward and reverse of the PowrReverser™ transmissions with simple push-button gear shifting.

Benefits

• • Ergonomically placed transmission control lever allows the operator to change gears and ranges using one lever

• • Improved efficiencies by reducing steps to change gears by 35 percent

• • Effortlessly switch directions with a small finger motion using the electrohydraulic fingertip directional lever

Integrated declutch and gear buttons on transmission control lever

 

Ranges on the transmission control can be selected by moving the controller in an H pattern. The lever selects ranges A, B, C, or D. Ranges are fully synchronized. That means when upshifting, operators can move between any range A-D without stopping the tractor.

Two buttons allow operators to gear up (rabbit) or gear down (turtle) within a range. A PowrQuad has 4 gear speeds per range while a Powr8 has 8 per forward range which is precisely how they got their names.
