Power bulge and torque reserve pull through the tough spots

Putting more power to the ground translates to increased productivity in demanding conditions. Simply put, torque is the useable power that can be achieved. More torque leads to more lugging ability which helps the operator be more productive.

5M Final Tier 4 (FT4) engines feature up to a 4 percent power bulge when put under load. The power bulge feature of the electronically controlled engine delivers additional horsepower as engine rpm drops below rated speed. Additionally, a 30 percent torque rise provides the force that maintains horsepower as engine rpm drops below rated speed.

When the tractor is under load, power bulge and torque rise work together to get through the tough spots without having to downshift. Horsepower and torque are mathematically related.

As rpm drops, the only way to maintain or increase horsepower is to provide additional torque. The output horsepower is greater than or equal to rated horsepower as the engine is pulled down to 1750 rpm.

The peak torque rise also occurs near the rated economy power take-off (EPTO) speed.

Heavy-duty 3-point hitch lift capacity for implement versatility

A Category 2, 3-point hitch on 5M Tractors provides the lift capacity and compatibility to perform in a variety of different applications. With the choice of either mechanical or electrohydraulic hitch controls, hooking up implements is convenient with telescoping draft links, adjustable sway bars, and interchangeable hitch balls. Both mechanical and electrohydraulic hitch controls have a depth stop. This feature provides consistency when lowering the hitch. Each time the position control lever is pushed forward, it stops where the depth stop has been positioned. This is valuable to anyone who desires a consistent, level ground, like when preparing a seedbed.

The 3-point hitch adapts to a wide variety of implements and has plenty of lift capacity to handle heavy implements such as planters, sprayers, and field cultivators. The 65-mm (2.5-in.) external cylinders provide for a hitch lift capacity of 2340 kg (5159 lb) at 610-mm (24 in.) behind the hitch-lift balls throughout the lifting range.

5115M Tractors come equipped with one 65-mm (2.5-in.) and one 75 mm (2.9-in), averaging to 70 mm (2.7-in) lift cylinders which provide for 2701 kg (5954 lb) of lift capacity at 610-mm (24-in.) behind the hitch-lift balls, throughout the lifting range. Any 5M Series Tractor has the option of selecting these larger lift cylinders through the factory or a field-installed heavy-duty hitch kit.

Adjustable sway bars and telescoping draft links can be easily adjusted to adapt to a wide variety of implements. The right lift link also adjusts without tools for added convenience when leveling implements. Operators do not need to carry a tool to adjust the rear hitch. Operators can also raise and lower the 3-point hitch from outside of the tractor with the conveniently located rear fender hitch controls.
