As far as the 75 sounding funny it's probably because it has a 3 cyl. turbo engine. We think JD underrates the PTO HP on these tractors because ours has no problem pulling a a NH H7220 9' DiscBine except in 5' high Oats hay.
I got one of the early 5093Es. Had a cavitaion problem with the hydraulics. JD hauled it in and back and fixed it under warranty. The only other real problem was the voltage deal from the recpticle inside the cab. That got fixed with a simple wiring addition.HDRider":249vvnmz said:I bought the 5085E new a year ago. One little light glitch. JD fixed it in the field.
I am satified.
I've got a 5093E and the only issue I've had was the hydraulics were poorly designed when they first started making them. It didn;t pick up the hydraulic fluid from the bottom of the case, only from the middle. At times it would run out of pressure and quit working. JD put in a modification under warranty. Haven;t had any other issues since. It;s only got about 600 hours on it so far.TANK30705":2i12rk7q said:I have a 5100e and 5065e, good tractors so far. Couple minor problems on both so far, but have been ready to work always. People keep telling I need to go to M series, but I just dont see much difference. What am I missing?
