John Deere 5R, Model 5115R: a four-cylinder engine of 4,500 cc, 85 kW, an 8,600 kg permissible gross weight and a 5,054 kg hydraulic lift capacity for loader and implement work
The 5115R belongs to John Deere's 5R line, a more powerful offshoot of the well-known 5 Series general-purpose tractors. Within that range, the R denotes a higher equipment tier with more power than the simpler standard versions of the 5 Series.

The four-cylinder engine of 4,500 cc produces 85 kW (115 hp) at 2,200 rpm. With a permissible gross weight of 8,600 kg and an unladen weight of 4,300 kg, around 4,300 kg of payload remains. The hydraulics lift up to 5,054 kg, a figure that points to a strong front hydraulic system or a rear lift built for heavy implements.
General-purpose tractors in this power class with high lift capacity are built for work with front loaders, heavy bale grips or large implements on livestock and mixed farms. With a wheelbase of 2,250 mm and a width of 2,150 mm, the 5115R offers the stability such lifting work demands.
Buying a used 5115R means paying particular attention to the high-capacity hydraulics: the cylinders, seals and pump should be checked for lost performance, especially if the tractor spent time working with a front loader. The clutch, front axle bearings and steering joints are also wear points given this weight, and worth asking about specifically when viewing a machine. Parts are readily available through John Deere's wide dealer network across Europe.
