Read articles →An owner-operator review from someone who bought a 2018 5100E for a hilly, small mixed farm, not a dealer pitch. He covers his buying rationale (4WD, ~100hp, replacing older 806s), the H.260 loader, cab spec, LED lights, tire sizing and wheel-spacing limits, the 24-12 power reverser, E-PTO fuel savings, and two warranty service experiences. Best for small-farm buyers evaluating the E series over M/R on a budget.
An owner-operator channel sharing personal, hands-on experience running the tractor on his own family farm.
He wanted a 4WD tractor around 100 horsepower to match his old 806s, and felt M and R series were pricier bells-and-whistles options better suited to going up a class instead.
Surprisingly good. A remote SVU stopped working when a wire disconnected, and John Deere sent a rep out to fix it under warranty with no major hassle.
Not as much. He got the wheels out as far as they go by flipping the rim, but worries it may not be wide enough for spraying standing corn.
It runs the 540 PTO at lower engine RPM, saving roughly 20 percent fuel. He likes it for tedding hay but says it lacks power for spreading manure.
