TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The John Deere 5070M features a 32-speed transmission that includes a two-speed power shift, providing enhanced versatility for diverse agricultural applications. The 16-speed power shuttle and partially synchronized shift allow for smooth transition between forward and reverse, benefiting tasks that require frequent directional changes, such as loader operations or tillage. However, the complexity of multiple shifting systems may require additional training for operators to maximize efficiency and minimize wear on components.

TRANSMISSION 1

The John Deere 5070M's Power Reverser Plus transmission offers 32 forward and 16 reverse gears, enabling precise speed and direction control, ideal for varied field operations. The electro-hydraulic wet disc clutch enhances durability and smooth engagement but requires the tractor to be stopped for range shifts, which may affect workflow efficiency. This setup is advantageous for operators seeking versatility in applications like tilling or loading, but could present challenges in situations demanding rapid direction changes.

Description With 420/85R30 rear tires. Reverse speeds are 10% faster than forward speeds

TRANSMISSION 2

The John Deere 5070M features a Power Reverser transmission, providing efficient forward and reverse operation with a total of 16 gears—ideal for varied applications such as loader work or tillage. The electro-hydraulic wet disc clutch ensures smooth and precise engagement, enhancing operator comfort, but requires the tractor to be stopped to switch between ranges, which may slow down operation in dynamic conditions. This setup is advantageous for tasks that demand controlled speed and torque management, though it may present a challenge in situations requiring rapid range changes.

TRANSMISSION 3

The John Deere 5070M features a partially synchronized John Deere SyncReverser transmission, providing 16 forward and reverse speeds, which facilitates versatility in various field conditions. The requirement to stop and engage the clutch for range shifts may reduce operational efficiency during frequent directional changes, particularly in tight spaces. However, the electro-hydraulic wet disc clutch offers smooth engagement and durability, ideal for tasks requiring precision control.
