How much land are you managing with this tractor? I’m looking at a buying a 2010 pre-emission 5075m for our horse operation. I think it’s probably more tractor than we need but figure we could pick up small jobs helping neighbors bushhog.
40 v 57 is absolutely the decision…..and trailering 10k lbs v 13k lbs is exactly what you said. I have multiple properties and transport is a must when you spend this kind of money. Thanks for video👍
Bought this about 6 mos ago, love it, a real workhorse. However i wish i had purchased the machine with the enclosed cab. If you buy one, spend the extra for the enclosed cab.
Great video. Thanks. I’m leaning, like you, on the 040. Lighter machine / easier transport on a trailer behind my Tundra is my main reason. Machine has plenty of power for working my property. I’m going to need steel tracks vs rubber. I’m up here in Alaska where we have ice and snow 5 months out of the year and rubber tracks are completely useless on ice and snow.
@@alanackermann7799 yes, your right. Toyota does not make a big enough truck. I am looking at a Chevy 350 or a non CDL 5 to 7 yard dump truck to haul around with.
@jpdunamislodge good call on getting a heavier duty truck. I drive a Tundra as well - I wish it was able to do it legally, has plenty of power. What I found out is that any dually one ton has a GVWR of 13,000 lbs or more. This puts you over 26,001 lbs with the 14k trailer - CDL class A required. A 3/4 ton or non dually one ton can sneak under the 26,001 lbs but that's about it. I bought an F-650 with a GVWR 25,990 lbs which is under CDL but had to get my class A for towing the KX-040. Hope this info helps with your search
Seat has 2 height settings, if you pull up on bar raise seat and drop. Gives your hands a better position to joysticks, they are very low compared to others
I'd be curious if you could cover a bit of a comparison of it to your tractor. Sort of apples to oranges, but for guys only able to afford one, what do you really give up by not having both basically. Thanks and Merry Christmas!
Given that you’ve had it about 8mos now do you regret not going with the larger machine or are you happy with the 040-4? I’m in a similar position. Thanks for your video!
I’ll answer this way… The 40 has done everything I’ve needed it to do around my farm. Digging drainage, stump removal etc. However, if I had it to do over I’d probably get the 57. The 40 can be a bit tipsy and I wish it was wider and heavier.
Looks like Linder shut down or something or moved over in burlington. Im up in PG running a 57-5 just renting for now. Did have to get a three axle trailer to move it.
I'd love to see an instructional video on removing and reattaching the bucket/loader. One person. I'm a 5075 rookie and would feel better using the tractor for mowing and punching holes with that big bucket in the way.
Do it by eye that’s your tutorial? The back must be set higher than the front and what you were changing was wing height relative to the deck and other wing
Hey man, love the tractor! I built one and it just came in, but, the tires on mine are ridiculously small and look horrid. What size front and rear tires are on your machine? I want to have mine changed out before I even pick it up. Please let me know as soon as you can. Thanks man! Have a good one!!
I posted a year ago about my e12 leaving strips but now since I had two technicians from John Deere come out and spend 2-3 hours adjusting it right it cuts better than it was new it’s all in the adjustment of every thing on these mowers but when they are right these things cut clean even with worn blades
@@rontopping2048 maybe you should check some out because a few do, including the one posted in the video which I bought. I’m saying below the seat not under it
Sorry but there is no way that is correct. I’ve been quoting these models for several years. I also quoted similar sized Deere machines and they had different price differences as well.
@@firstgenfarmer9809 I've been pricing them out for over 2 years myself. Massive price difference between local dealers as well. I ended up buying mine from way out of state because all the local dealers were 10k over what I was getting quoted out of state. What did you end up paying for your 040?
Nice tractor and nice mower , we mow grass over 24" high with x500 lawn tractor thats thick as crap, there was no thick stuff in there LOL ok ok So what made you pick the the 5075m over the 5075e, there is about $30K difference
The E series would have been fine. However, when I can I prefer to buy equipment rated beyond the application for which it will be used. For example, if I’m towing 10,000 lbs I don’t want a truck rated to haul 10,000 lbs. I want one rated for 15,000 lbs. in my experience that greatly changes the towing experience in a positive way. Same applies to almost all equipment in almost every application. Just my opinion.
Hydraulics are much improved in M vs E as well. The loader cycles quickly. If presented with the same choice I would buy the M again even with the considerable price difference.
If you’re debating between the two there is no doubt you’ll regret the 5095 but you might regret the 5075. I’m making assumptions for what the tractor will be used for. Just applying my generalized logic to your scenario. I’m sure there are numerous pros and cons for each. Good luck!
@@firstgenfarmer9809 you mean not regret the 5095? I am managing a hobby farm 26 acres, Have opportunity for much more if i want. would like to do some 4 row crops, do you do any row cropping with yours?
I just recently purchased the same machine. I can tell you based on experience running other machines in the same class these machines hold their own. I am so happy I bought this thing. The capabilities continue to amaze me. I too looked at the 057 and I’m glad I didn’t buy it. The added weight is great on site but moving an additional 2500 lbs adds some problems. I bought new as rates were less than used and my money is better spent elsewhere.
Looked for spec info on tractordata.com. Looks like 1.3 mph in A range, first gear, in reverse. www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/005/8/0/5802-john-deere-5075m-transmission.html
What would help if you could tell what the difference's are between the 057 vs 040 in break out /lift capacity, reach . Etc. I appreciate the price difference you stated. I'm needing one to sort my overgrown 30 acres and possibly do side jobs of fence line clearing. Thanks
How much does the tractor weigh in that set up? I’m torn between a 4 series and 5 series only because of transportation issues, I have a 15k lb gooseneck trailer with about 11,000 lb of capability and have no intention going larger on the trailer to avoid a cdl and all that
