At this year’s World Ag Expo in Tulare, CA, John Deere unveiled the 5G Series Tractors with narrow and highly-maneuverable configurations to expand the specialty tractor portfolio for vineyard and orchard producers and meet Final Tier 4 Engine emissions requirements.
“The 5G Series Tractors build on the success of the 5EN Series to offer customers more choices for their specialty applications,” says Christopher Lammie, product manager, John Deere Augusta. “With two chassis widths for narrow (5GN) and vineyard (5GV) applications, the 5G Series Tractors bring John Deere utility tractor performance into specialty row applications.”
The 5G Series Tractors are available in the following configurations and horsepower sizes:
| N Model | 5GV Model | Engine HP |
| 5075GN | 5075GV | 75 |
| 5090GN | 5090GV | 90 |
| 5100GN | 100 |

The 5G Series Tractors reduce the chance that crops will be damaged in narrow rows. With a tighter turning radius than its 5EN predecessor, the 5GN reduces operator effort, time and fuel consumption during headland turns. Fuel tank capacity is improved over the 5EN with an option for an auxiliary 7.5-gallon fuel tank on the 5GN. Also, increased cab width on the 5GN Series creates a larger, roomier work environment.
