I hate John Deere's new numbering !

That sure is a lot different then my old (2000yr) 5105 !

They dropped off its little brother in our yard the same day. I think it is called a 3720.

 

[Mike M]

I hope your not getting ready to test the ROPS !

 

[Wile E]

Is it brand new?

 

[Wile E]

if it is new, how much was that thing?
I know that I am kind of rude for asking but.....my curiousness just gets the better of me sometimes.

4WD....?
What transmission?

Thanks Bill for getting me turned right side up. I posted it with my wife's iPad and all was well then looked at it on the desk top and it was inverted. Tom

 

[bill mart]

no problem. bill

 

[Gregg Mauldin]

yes 2 hours on it so far

 

[Gregg Mauldin]

it was around 55k

 

[Gregg Mauldin]

it was around 55k and yes 4wd and has 12forward and 12 reverse

 

[Wile E]

$55k for it. Breaking the bank on that.
I looked up on the Deere site and it said, $ 46K was the base price.
What will you be using it for?
Up here I would be using it for snow removal and make several hundred a day with it.
With the picture you have, you must be in the South with no snow.

It is replacing my 3020 has the hay baling tractor.It will be used as cutting and to run the baler.3020 is now the rake tractor. This 5100e can"t run my vermeer hydraulic rake from what John deere has told me unless I add a 3rd remote for 2,000 dollars

For less than $2000 you can convert your Vermeer rake to a pto driven hyd pump rake. I did that same thing yrs ago to a R23 and pulled it with a Ford 3000. All one needs to do is box in the tongue for an oil reservoir add a filter & pto pump. It worked well and I wasn't COOKING the tractors hyd oil.
