John Deere Presents The New 5010 Tractor

What a great video! I know very little about the 5010 & it was a pleasure to see this. I must say, it's a mighty tractor. The rear tires on there are massive & it has plenty enough power to put them to work. Hope you enjoy this video as much as I did. It was a pleasure to watch & a pleasure to convert, as the record & filmstrip are in great shape.
Regards!!

Around 1970 Dad bought a used 5010 for our Kansas operation. If my memory serves me it was the first Diesel on our farm for a main plow tractor. From then he bought a 4430 wich wasn't really the hog of the 5010 but the 4630 definitely was. We do still have the 1976 model 4430 as a great utility tractor with a loader.

My Grandmother bought a new 1960 John Deere 3010 Diesel with her inheritance for our farms. It cost $5K back then. It was and awesome tractor. It would pull a 4 16s plow on hilly ground without a problem. It was the workhorse on our farm along with my Grandfathers 1945 John deere A The New Generation John Deere Tractors were some of the best Tractors ever built. The 4020s were very common where I grew up in Barry County Michigan.

Yes we owned a 5010 tractor plowed, field tillage, chop silage you name the 5010 did it. I fortunate enough to be old enough to operate the 5010

I'm not a John Deere guy but I can't argue with that ol girl

[@ikonseesmrno7300]

That makes two of us. It is indeed one tough looking tractor.

[@michaelhalsall5684]

Great John Deere tractor. The 5010 was the beginning of JD successfully producing very large diesel tractors.

[@Jane-rq7sv]

Dad bought one new with a 21 foot cultivator and a six bottom plow for 14,500

[@davidwilton1775]

I love these old advertisements of these old tractors and machines, I dont where you get them from, but KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.

[@ikonseesmrno7300]

Thank you! The John Deere & Case ones are on loan from someone's private collection. The IH ones were purchased by me last summer. There are three more JD filmstrips to go & I will be done for now. There are a couple more from IH, but the records need quite a bit of work to get to play. Not sure when they'll be posted. If I run across any more, they'll get posted when I get a chance. Regards!

Love this tractor! My uncle has a 5010, a 5020, and a 6030! The 5010 though is in very bad shape! It dies at idle and the clutch grinds a lot! Luckily I started working as a mechanic that overhauls John Deere tractors, so maybe I could convince my uncle to let me bring this beast back to its former glory! It was the second tractor I ever drove after my dads old 4320 (Which unfortunately... The tractor is no longer with us!)

I spent a lot of time on a ‘67 5020 What a tractor the 5010, 5020 and 6030’s are, even to this day.

[@Dextamartijn]

This is very interesting Love the way they explained information back then

[@ikonseesmrno7300]

Having a great narrator helps too.

[@kswaynes7569]

Huge step forward for JD breaking into the 100+ horse power range in tractors, didn't take them long to have to re-engineer the 5010 to a 5020. In less than 8 years 100+ lighter weight tractors were even more common in row crop tractors.

[@ikonseesmrno7300]

Indeed it is. I started a discussion on a tractor forum about the 5010 vs the 1206 (did it on the JD board of course) & found out the 5010 was off to a good start until the 1206 came about & stole the show. Found that to be interesting. The other thing of interest, is the fact that the 5010 is bringing several thousand $ less than the 1206. Stranger yet, is the D21 can fetch even more $ than the 1206. Maybe this video will change that. :vD

[@kswaynes7569]

@@ikonseesmrno7300 I don’t think this video will change the inherent problems of the 5010’s. The D 21’s were a better tractor competing in this hp range.

[@ikonseesmrno7300]

@@kswaynes7569 Yep, I'm beginning to see on the forum that the 5010 had engine issues & a leaky rear end from the get go. I'll have to shop around the question of 5010 vs D21 on the AC board & see what they say. Should probably spread it out to Ford, Oliver & MM, too. Don't want them feeling left out.😁

[@thegreenerthemeaner]

@@kswaynes7569 Some people were scared of the D21s because of the issues with the D19s. Wasn't the case but that is said in hindsight.

That seems like such a old tractor. But then it’s only 22 years older then I am.

I hope the farmers at the time used hearing protection on tractors.

[@ikonseesmrno7300]

At that point in history, farmers were hoping for a louder radio to hear the game while out plowing.

Looks like them wheel weights are pretty darn new, my uncle owns a 64 4020 with the skinny round wheel weights, but it looks like the new weights are the newest model

[@lukestrawwalker]

Shame you don't have that handy three point hitch... Pioneered the category 3 three point hitch on the 5010, such an advanced piece of engineering! Handier than sliced bread! OL J R :)

[@ikonseesmrno7300]

@@lukestrawwalker I don't recall a lot of the wheatfield tractors from that era having a 3PT. Even fewer when it came to the 4x4s. Some of those were so bare, I'm surprised the put a drawbar on them :v)

[@lukestrawwalker]

@@ikonseesmrno7300 LOL I'm giving old South Sask Farmer a hard time... he's a Canadian prairie farmer (with a neat channel if you haven't checked him out) and he LOVES his "bareback ponies", mostly older Deeres with NO 3 point hitch... basically all the tractors they sold in their part of the world didn't have three point hitches, the so-called "wheatland" tractors. The older "wheatlands" usually came with a straight axle, not the arched axles or taller axles most common on row crop tractors, in addition to no three point hitch. All their tools up there are basically drawn, and everything else is done with the front end loader, or belly-mounted stuff like blades and such. He's got some REALLY nice tractors but he sure likes to give us southern row-crop farmers (and ex-row crop farmers like me) sh!t over the 'backwards technology" of three point hitches. Down here in Texas, even our planters are all three point hitch mounted-- you can't hardly sell and you almost never see a pull-type drawn planter. Only exception I've seen that springs to mind was a BTO who's kid went to A&M and came back and "was gonna set the world on fire" and talked the old man into going all UNR (ultra narrow row) corn... they bought one of them UNR 15 inch corn heads and a 15 inch planter, which is SO heavy you can't lift it with a three point. After a few years the boy went bust and quit farming and started teaching ag in high school, and the old man retired, and since everything was borrowed to the gills at the bank and gubmint, it was all sold off and he's out now. Down here, you can't hardly GIVE AWAY a tractor without a 3 point hitch-- all them old Farmalls ended their years as yard mules at cotton gins, pushing trailers around and pulling them under the sucker to be ginned off... then they wern to the scrap yards. The old Deere poppin' Johnnies at least had a rudimentary 3 point hitch and were kept around the farm for cultivating or raking hay or stuff like that. SO I gotta give old South Sask Farmer a drubbing for his "obsolete technology" comments about three point hitches LOL:) Later! OL J R :)

[@lukestrawwalker]

@@ikonseesmrno7300 Oh yeah, them "bareback ponies" were "bareback" because of no three point hitch. The 4WD's usually didn't even have a PTO, either... strictly for dragging huge implements across sections of land... PTO's were an add-on. It's all what you're used to. SSF said they never had any use for 3 point hitches because they never sold any three point hitch implements or tools up there... hard to imagine because down here a tractor without a three point hitch would practically have to be given away-- not much use for it! Later! OL J R :)

This set was loose in the case. Unfortunately, I haven't seen anything related to the 8010. Think there's one pictured in one of the other Deere filmstrips & that's it. Haven't seen much surface on eBay, either.

[@jamesbarbour8400]

Could someone please answer the following queries; What year was the JD 5010 tractor introduced to market ? What was the engine capacity ? What year was the JD 5020 tractor introduced to market ? What was its engine capacity and horsepower ? Would I be correct in assuming that the transaxle for both the 5010/5020 & 6030 tractors were identical and that the only real difference was the engine capacities and horsepower ? Thank you in advance.

[@dalekrueger1175]

Story was Deere and company, over built the 5010 on purpose, as a base for future power upgrades, in other word they didn't want a 560 like fiasco

[@ikonseesmrno7300]

I've heard the same. Also heard they were woefully underpowered & had engine & leaky rear end issues from the get go. All that was addressed with the launch of the new 5020.
