5100GN NARROW SERIES TRACTOR

The 5G Final Tier 4 (FT4) Specialty Series now brings a narrow, ultra-narrow, and low-profile option to specialty applications.

The 5GV Series is built to operate in vineyards with a minimum working width of 108.8 cm (42.8 in.) from rear tire to rear tire. The 5GV Series cab, with an overall width of 108.1 cm (42.6 in.), is designed to pass between narrow vineyard rows. The 5GN features an extra- wide cab of 127.5 cm (50.2 in.). The 5GL series is manufactured with orchardists in mind. This low-profile tractor has an approximate height of 135.89cm (53.5 in.) and width of 152.4cm (60 in.) (depending on tire configuration), which makes it ideal for operating in orchards that are laden with heavy fruit.

The two-door cab on the 5GN and 5GV models offers the operator yet another convenience of entering and exiting from either side. With a distance of 560 mm (22.1 in.) between the right- and left-hand side consoles and a play of 285 mm (11.2 in.) between seat and steering wheel, the 5G Series provides one of the roomiest cabs in the specialty tractor market.

The 5G Series has also expanded its platform offerings to include a 5GV cab on a 5GN Tractor. This option combines the fit of 5GV with the wider stance of a 5GN, providing excellent stability paired with the narrowest cab offering available in the 5G portfolio.

John Deere value

Performance: tailored to fit – matching narrow widths and low heights to producers’ high value crop applications.

The 5GN models have an optional auxiliary fuel tank available, which increases the fuel tank capacity by up to 38 percent on the 5075GN and up to 33 percent on the 5090GN and 5100GN.

The increased capacity allows for more productive time in the field with fewer stops for refueling.

The 5G Specialty Series Tractors are equipped with powerful FT4 diesel engines.

All GN, GV, and GL models are equipped with a robust FPT Industrial 4-cylinder, 3.4-L (207.5-cu in.) displacement engine that offers real versatility and performance for all kinds of specialty operations.

Supporting the narrow dimensions of the 5GV Series

The narrow width of the 5GV Series requires a compact engine solution. The compact 3.4-L (207.5-cu in.) engine supports the envelope of the 5GV Series entering super narrow vineyards as well as the turning radius at the end of a row.


Performance - made to measure

The engine ensures high productivity under tough working conditions. With a torque of 401 Nm (295.7 lb-ft) for the 74.6-kW (100-hp) model, the engine ensures the optimal performance for versatile operations.


John Deere value:

Performance: the powerful FT4 engines support the narrow machine envelope of the 5G Specialty Series and offer a high torque at rated rpm, which provides a high performance.

The 5G Series Tractors are heavy-duty utility tractors in two narrow chassis widths. Heavier gross vehicle weight means more down force to keep implements in the ground. Heavier equipment also leads to improved traction and performance in the field. The 5G Series Tractors have the weight to power through tough jobs.

Regular service and maintenance are essential to the performance, productivity, and longevity of the tractor.

• Easy access to regular service points minimizes service time.
• Tractors are equipped with onboard self-diagnostic capabilities and are fully compatible with the John Deere-exclusive Service ADVISOR™ system.
• Daily service requirements are minimal and simple to accomplish. Most service interval requirements can be performed with a basic understanding of procedures and common tools.

All items in the daily service schedule can be performed without the use of tools:

• Convenient access to engine oil, hydraulic oil, coolant level, and water separator
• Easy access to periodic engine maintenance checks by simply raising the hood
• Single-point latch mechanism and self-contained leash ensure easy hood opening and closure

NOTE: Always refer to the operator’s manual for complete maintenance and service recommendations.

The John Deere 5G Series provides an outstanding total hydraulic system flow of 126.4 L/min (33.4 gpm) with an optional third hydraulic pump.

This hydraulic system ensures excellent hydraulic performance and capacity:

• Precise steering without diverting oil flow from the selective control valves (SCVs) and rockshaft is ideal when maneuvering and operating an implement at the same time as turning at the headland
• Ensures easy power steering with heavy loads on the front of the tractor
• Supplies plenty of power to run hydraulic motors
• Fast cycle times even during the simultaneous usage of various hydraulic driven implements

The heavy-duty 3-point hitch design on the 5G Series provides a standard maximum lift of 2590 kg (5,710 lb) at the ball ends. An optional additional lift cylinder is available for the 5GN Series, which increases the maximum lift capacity by 510 kg (1,124 lb) to 3100 kg (6,834 lb) at the ball ends.

Hooking up implements is quick and simple with the standard Category 2 3-point hitch on the 5GN. Hooking up implements that require Category 1 or Category 1N is also possible and requires very little time with the 5GV and 5GL.

Performance: higher lift capacity for a wider variety of implements and strong performance means real versatility.

The 5G Series comes standard with a 24 forward/12 reverse (24F/12R) PowrReverser™ transmission. The 24F/12R transmission provides 24 forward speeds and 12 reverse speeds for transport speeds of up to 40 km/h (24.9 mph). The transmission provides convenient Hi-Lo and declutch push-button controls. The Hi-Lo feature benefits operators who frequently transport their tractors from field to field or find themselves in bog-down situations during rear power take-off (PTO) work.

Users can push the rabbit button (high) without having to depress the clutch to get an increase in speed. They can also push the turtle button (low) to get a decrease in speed, similar to downshifting or engine braking without having to grab another gear. The PowrReverser transmission has a built-in engagement override valve for additional safety. This valve requires the clutch pedal to be depressed one time after each engine start before the transmission will begin to operate normally, giving the operator another opportunity to put all focus on the tractor. A neutral start switch requires the PowrReverser lever to be in the neutral position to start the engine.
