John Deere 5125ML

Last Updated: July 2024

Overview

The John Deere 5125ML is an Orchard/Vineyard tractor featuring a 4x4 MFWD 4WD chassis with Front Wheel Assist to provide better traction and performance in varied agricultural applications. The tractor is equipped with a manual steering system and a selective gear fixed ratio transmission with a partial (4) range operator-controlled power shift, allowing for 16 forward and reverse gears. This model is powered by a 276 cubic-inch turbocharged diesel engine with an intercooler and DEF (32% aqueous urea solution) exhaust treatment, produced by John Deere. The engine delivers a rated power of 118.68 hp at 2200 rpm. The liquid-cooled engine ensures efficiency and durability. The tractor's dimensions include a width ranging from 62.1 to 70.9 inches and a height with ROPS at 89 inches, with an operating weight of 8625 lbs. The John Deere 5125ML is designed to operate efficiently in orchard or vineyard environments where space is limited and maneuverability is key. The closed center hydraulic system supplements the tractor's functionality, strengthening its operational capability in a variety of tasks. Additional features include a maximum torque of 357 lb-ft at 1598 rpm, a torque rise of 31.9%, and the use of John Deere Hy-Gard fluid for the transmission hydraulic system. Detailed gear speeds, fuel consumption rates, and specific tire dimensions and PSI are provided in the test results.
