![](asset-2.png)
John Deere 5003 Series
Tractors are more value-
packed than ever. With five
models from 45 to 99 hp, the
easy-to-use 9F/3R collarshift
transmission becomes more
efficient with a SyncReverser or
SyncShuttle transmission. Plus,
now you can get more traction
with available 4-wheel drive.
So, what’s the same? The reliable
John Deere PowerTech™ engine
and the ease of use and quality
you’ve come to expect from
John Deere.

A value tractor is of little value
if it’s hard to operate. That’s
why the new 5003 Series Tractors
have easy-to-use, color-coded
controls. Orange to control the
movement of the tractor, black to
operate the attachments and
yellow to control the PTO. And
unlike other tractors in this price
range, these levers are within
your reach but out of the way. No
awkward levers or controls to
straddle as you get on and off the
tractor. And once you’re on,
there’s plenty of legroom and a
comfortable seat.

Retractable seat belts roll up and out of the way, yet are

The spacious straddle-mount platform includes a
deluxe adjustable seat.
All 5003 Series Tractors come standard with storage locations
for tools, parts, and operator’s manuals. The toolbox is
located on the left fender for easy
access to tools and spare parts.
The operator’s manual holder is
mounted on the right hand post
of the ROPS for quick,
easy access.
A neutral start switch requires that
the gear shift lever be in the neutral
position or in the park position for
the engine to start. The park
position eliminates the need for a
handbrake. This also eliminates
clutch service costs that occur
when the park brake is accidentally
left engaged.

The 5003 Series Tractors come equipped with a single rear SCV standard. Dual rear
SCVs are available as an option. The open-center hydraulic systems provides plenty
of flow for running hydraulic implements.
Unlike many competitive
tractors, the 5003 Series
Tractors have separate hydraulic
systems for implement control
and braking and steering. You’re
in total control with full hydraulic
steering power, even when
moving a heavy load. And up to
four available SCVs give you more
versatility with hydraulic
implements. A detented float
position on the SCV allows your
implements to follow ground
contours.

Perhaps the most versatile
attachment of all, a loader not only
allows you to move materials
quickly and efficiently, but with the
Quik-Change attachment system
you can also switch from a bucket
to a pallet fork to a bale spear in
seconds.
The 512 Loader is a non-parkable
loader, designed to be left on the
tractor when not in use.
The 522 and 542 Loaders are
parkable loaders that can be
removed from the tractor when not
in use. The 542 Loader is available
in self-leveling and non self-leveling
models.

Choose the transmission that’s
right for you. The 5003 Series
Tractors are now available in 2-
wheel drive and 4-wheel drive
models. Available 4-wheel drive
gives you increased drawbar pull
and improved traction when
operating in slippery conditions.
You’ll get more power to the
ground for applications
that demand more from your
tractor.
Two-wheel-drive models feature the SyncReverser transmission
with 9 forward and 3 reverse speeds, ideal for loader applications and
various other tasks that require frequent directional changes.
With synchronized, in-line, shuttle shift capability, you can
easily switch directions without having to completely stop the
tractor. Forward shifting on-the-go between speeds and ranges is not
synchronized.
Four-wheel-drive models have a 9F/3R SyncShuttle™ transmission, perfect
when you need a durable basic transmission for a mix of field work and light
loader work. You can easily select speeds or switch directions without having
to completely stop the tractor with synchronized, in-line, shuttle shift capability.
Synchronized shifts between speeds for on-the-go shifting with use of the clutch.
Shifts between ranges are not synchronized.

A hinged safety shield surrounds the PTO shaft. For
easy hookups, it lifts up to allow a better view.
Optional telescoping
draft links
Implement hook-up can be
even easier with optional
telescoping draft links. These
links feature cross-drilled hitch
balls to eliminate the need for
bushings.
The perfect iMatch
Add an iMatch hitch to quickly switch implements without
adjusting hitch geometry or struggling to move heavy
implements. The iMatch hitch works with Cat. 1 or Cat. 2
implements. Try it yourself to see what a difference it makes.
Get no-hassle versatility with a
durable Cat. 2 hitch.
Powerful. Lift up to 3,590 pounds
— more than enough for most
implements.
Accurate. You can position the
center link in one of three holes to
better set implement position and
draft sensing. And lift links can be
adjusted for lateral float. Perfect to
help implements with gauge wheels
or skids to follow the ground
contour.
Versatile. You can adjust sway
chains to adapt to a wide variety of
implements. And an adjustable
depth stop provides consistency
when lowering the hitch. Each time
the position control lever is pushed
forward, it will stop where the
depth stop has been
positioned. Perfect for creating a
consistent, level ground when
preparing a seedbed.
The PTO shaft can cause serious injuries.
The 5003 Series Tractors have an
operator-presence alarm that
warns you if you leave the PTO
engaged when you get off
the tractor. Also, the tractor
will not start with the PTO engaged.
