TRANSMISSION

The John Deere 5050D features an 8F/4R collar shift gear system, allowing for versatile speed control ideal for various agricultural tasks. Its oil capacity of 37 quarts (35.0 L) supports efficient lubrication but may necessitate regular checks to avoid potential overheating in intensive use scenarios. The requirement to stop and use the clutch for shifting could be a challenge in fast-paced operations, emphasizing the need for careful driving techniques to maintain efficiency.

Type collar shift gear
Gears 8 forward and 4 reverse
Oil capacity 37 qts/35.0 L
Description Four gears (1-4) in two ranges (A/B) plus reverse (R) range. Tractor must be stopped, and clutch used, to shift gear or range.

SPEEDS
