The four-cylinder engine of 4,525 cc produces 59 kW (80 hp). Buyers could choose between a gearbox with 16 forward and 16 reverse speeds or one with 32 forward and 32 reverse speeds. With 370 mm of ground clearance, a weight of 3,750 kg and rear tyres sized 420/85R30, the tractor is built for use on uneven ground and in row crops alike.
General-purpose tractors in this power class with generous ground clearance are used in livestock operations, mixed farms and increasingly in row crops, where extra clearance beneath the machine matters for the growing plants. With a top speed of 40 km/h, the 5080 R / RN sits at the boundary of the licence category for slow tractors.
Buying a used 5080 R / RN means checking the clutch and the shifting behaviour of whichever gearbox happens to be fitted, be it the 16-speed or the 32-speed version. The joints and bearings of the raised ground clearance deserve particular attention given the extra components involved. Parts for this widely used John Deere line are well supplied through the dealer network.
