John Deere 5010er-Baureihe – the next generation of Augusta-built utility tractors: types 5210 to 5510, three- and four-cylinder diesels of 2,934 to 4,517 cm³, 39 to 65.5 kW

With the 5010 series, John Deere introduced the successor generation to the 5000-series utility tractors at its Augusta plant in Georgia; the types 5210, 5310, 5410 and 5510 recorded in the register carry, like their predecessors, the A suffix denoting the Augusta production site. Compared with the previous series, engine power, displacement and weight of the 5010-series types increased noticeably.

The register lists 4 versions with 39 to 65.5 kW from three- and four-cylinder diesel engines of 2,934 to 4,517 cm³ displacement, torque from 177 to 320 Nm and a rated speed of 2,400 rpm throughout; unladen weight ranges from 2,110 to 3,048 kg, lengths from 3,198 to 3,540 mm, widths from 1,745 to 1,850 mm, heights from 2,464 to 2,540 mm.

The 5010 series covers the upper end of the utility-tractor segment relative to the 5000 series, and is aimed at operations with more demanding field, feeding and transport tasks that need more power and pulling force than the smaller utility types offer, competing with comparable ranges from Case IH, New Holland and Massey Ferguson.

On a used 5010-series tractor, the condition of the hydraulics and lift linkage, the tightness of the gearbox and axles, the diesel engine's mileage, and rust on the mudguards and bonnet all count; parts are well available through John Deere's dense dealer network.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
  • Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
  • Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
  • Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
  • Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
  • Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
