Last Updated: July 2024

Overview

The John Deere 5010 is a 2WD standard-tread tractor from the New Generation series, designed and manufactured by John Deere in Waterloo, Iowa, USA from 1963 to 1965. With its power steering, hydraulic wet disc brakes, and an open operator station for easy operation, the JD 5010 brings efficiency and comfort to the field. This specific model is driven by a robust 8.7 L six-cylinder diesel engine, offering 121.46 horsepower at 2200 RPM with an inline cylinder orientation. The tractor's Syncro-Range transmission provides flexibility with 8 forward and 3 reverse gears, accommodating versatile operations. Effective operational control is ensured through its 531 ci engine displacement, with a liquid-cooled system maintaining optimal temperatures. Additionally, this tractor offers a sizeable 48.1 US gallon fuel tank for extended work periods without frequent refueling. The engine produces a maximum torque of 410 lb-ft (556 Nm) at 1800 rpm and a torque rise of 36% with a 10.5% power increase at 2200 rpm. The hydraulic system can exert a maximum force of 9400 lbs (41.8 kN) at the hitch points, with a pump delivery rate of 15.2 GPM (57.5 l/min) at minimum pressure and rated engine speed, providing 26.0 HP (19.4 kW) of hydraulic power at 2000 psi (138 bar) delivery pressure. Overall, the John Deere 5010 stands as a testament to the brand's commitment to powerful and dependable agricultural equipment.
