Brand new John deere 5100e walk around and loading hay

[@duanemcdaniel1003]

There is an upgrade for your brakes at the dealership it really helps out the brakes

[@shelbydavis3311]

Does the 5100 have enough ground clearance for baling high volume hay??

[@LifeWithChase]

Not sure on that. he uses a 6135e for bailing because a 100hp tractor doesn't have the hp to pull his bailer up big hills, well at least not very fast. The 6135 has enough power for the hills he has to bail on and better brakes. He uses 5100e for cutting, raking and stacking some.

defiantly not the tractors of yester year, I had a 3020 that would have moved that tree and it was only a 2 wheel drive.

Why E Series not M or R Series?

Price

[@MrAgro-bt7qs]

I europe max power in E Series is 75hp When you want to buy 100hp tractor you must choice between 5r 5m 6m. I paid for my 5075e 45k of Euro

[@kelleyfarms8034]

Now the 5100e and 5101e are now the 6 series and the m and r the e now a days are 75 hp and lower

@@kelleyfarms8034 a 5100e is not a 6 series size frame

[@scottschaeffer8920]

The E series is simply more reasonably priced. I have a 5075e and it’s fine for my small farm. Yea, there’s a couple things I don’t like about it but, overall, it gets the jobs done. Good for wildlife projects like food plots, etc.

I have a 5075e but I don’t tackle anything bigger than baling hay Move hay with front and rear spears

You must have a small baler and run pretty slow and on flat ground. I know it can Be done, but he had a new Holland t4.95 that he pulled a 504 Vermeer baler with no problem, then he Upgraded to a new Holland roll belt 460 baler and tractor had problems pulling it on hills. He said he could only run 4.5mph on flat and about 2.5mph up a hill. He just got this 5100e and a 6135e. The 6135e pulls the 460 roll belt baler at 7.5mph up hill. He hasn't tried pulling the baler with the 5100e, mostly got it for moving and stacking hay and feeding in the winter. Seems like the roll belt 460 takes more power to pull but it makes some tight bales.
