Review Of The Farmstead's John Deere 5100e!

[@acarp1065]

Great video and review of the 5100E. I just purchased one from my local JD dealer earlier this week - hope to get it delivered in the next day or so & get some hay cut! Seeing this review a few weeks ago is one of the things that got much more comfortable with the decision to go with the E series. Thanks for posting this!

acarp1065 thanks for the feedback. I’m glad my video helped. I’ll be doing another one at the end of the year. (Second hay season). Stay tuned!!

acarp1065 did you get the upgraded LED lights??

@@RockyAcresFarmstead Just getting the stock tractor with 24-speed & a 520M loader for now. Only thing I went ahead & added is the block heater. I will probably come back & add a radio later and maybe the lights. I don't have any livestock right now so I'm hoping I can get by with just the standard lights, though.

Great video. Thank you, because I just bought my 5100E for snow removal.

[@RockyAcresFarmstead]

Thanks!

From a used to be small time plow boy.. We had a 1989 4wd with cab 2555. 77hp and about 9000lbs with loader and cast rear wheels and true axle shafts. I always felt like it needed more weight! 😂 it was a very rare occasion to run out of power. I pulled a JD 4/18 3pt mold board plow down to the frame no problem. Subscribed.

Thanks for the support!!

Back in 2015 I was looking at a new 5100E with H260 loader. Exact same as you have except no DEF. The cost was $89,000 Canadian (about $70K US), I lucked out and my dealer had a guy that had a 2015 6105D (now the 6E's) with cab mfwd and 24x12 tranny that he bought new 7 months ago (wanted something bigger). I ended up getting the 6105D with 276 hours on it with lots of warranty still on it. The tractor did not have a loader, but my dealer installed a new H310 self leveling loader with quick disconect hydraulics. I paid $72,000 Cdn for it loader inc (about $57K US). Sometimes you get lucky, but always keep a close watch on your dealers inventory.

Is it a good tractor the 105e?

[@aswan2140]

Great video, nice rig!!

[@jmfarms3555]

I do agree with you about most tractor review videos. Most of them sound like a used car salesman. Tell you about all the features but nothing about the performance or reliability of the machine.

[@RockyAcresFarmstead]

New review video will be coming out. As soon as the darn thing gets here!

[@ChuckSC1982]

what mower was that that was off set?

[@RockyAcresFarmstead]

630 MOCO

I cannot figure out if it's 4WD. Does anybody know?

[@raykellerman1511]

I had john deere dealer install a radio in our 2019 5100e speakers are already in the cab from factory

[@RockyAcresFarmstead]

[@kirkking6601]

I run a JBL external Bluetooth speaker in my cab. Charge with a usb.

[@RockyAcresFarmstead]

I started doing that this hay season!

[@NorthEastOhio]

When you engage the pto, is it a gradual start or hard start

[@RockyAcresFarmstead]

Always gradual.

[@billybobs841]

Thanks for that! And more importantly, thanks for the support and watching the videos. I really appreciate it!

[@erniegranke4586]

great job. I just purchased a 5100E. What is the difference between the rear scv's?

[@RockyAcresFarmstead]

Ernie Granke - I only have two remotes. You can get up to three on the 5100e.

[@erniegranke4586]

@@RockyAcresFarmstead I only have 2 also just wondering if there is a difference between them

I have a John Deere 5100E it’s struggles brush hogging 200 acres with a 15 foot batwing it has problems with it overheating hydraulics I have owned it for three years I am getting ready to trade it in on a 5100m

[@RockyAcresFarmstead]

Mine is headed down the road too. Just wait to see what’s coming! 😁

[@duanemcdaniel1003]

@@RockyAcresFarmstead What are you thinking about going with

[@RockyAcresFarmstead]

Already ordered. Should be in either October- December. You’ll have to stay tuned. Pretty similar in taste is all I’ll say.

[@kasken719]

Wow thanks for the heads up. It gets hot here in Florida and I was looking at the 5100E specificity for the M20 cutter for 100 acres we cut but if you say it struggles with the 15' I might need to rethink what to get.

[@dutchmoxie]

Great video. So, if the cost was the same for a new 5100E or a used (140 hrs.) 5115R (both 2019’s), which would you buy?

[@RockyAcresFarmstead]

5115R. No doubt. More stout tractor and different transmission!
