If you are interested in
buying a new 5-series tractor, then you should look into this rare find! This
is one of the cleanest single-owner tractors available and has only 860 hours! Before we had it,
it was used for a short period of time by the JD dealership just to move
snow. We used it mostly for shredding with a batwing and loading sand, but we
always blew off the grass after we used it to prevent paint
damage. This is my personal
tractor and I don't let any of my ranch workers drive it. The tractor has been
especially well-cared for. I run it once a month for a short period of time
just to heat up the oil and prevent condensation. This is probably overkill
because it’s always parked inside an insulated barn. I also do yearly oil
changes even if we hardly use the tractor for that year. I don’t fill up the
diesel tank so it always has fresh diesel. The zerks are also greased every
20-25 hours (every 10 hours for the loader) and was just recently done. I also pivot through all the joints to make sure everything is greased
well. The loader joints are as tight as new. The hoses and tires look new with
no cracking or tire rot. We use synthetic oil only on our nicer equipment.
There are absolutely zero leaks anywhere. The tractor is loaded
and has the more expensive PowrReverser Plus transmission (32F/16R) that has a
button to push to increase/decrease a gear. It is 4WD (MFWD) with auto
function, so it can be driven in 4WD safely on pavement. It also has the more
expensive heavy-duty H310 loader. It lifts approximately 5000 pounds! The
bucket has also been upgraded to the “high volume” one. Other upgrades include
triple hydraulic remotes (SVCs). It has rear fender extensions with the
integrated up/down 3-pt control from the rear. It has the 540e option if you
want to pull a smaller 12’ or 15’ shredder and save fuel. I think it will go
well with a 20’ shredder with just the regular 540 even in high grass. It has
an original JD grille guard and JD canopy. I just added the canopy a month ago,
so it doesn’t have any scratches. There is also a custom-made heavy duty basket
mounted to the front of it. This is where I put my chains, because I didn’t
want to scratch the floor next to the seat (where most people put them). The
basket is very large and can hold much more than the chains. It will even hold
an extra battery if needed. Even though it’s hard to find here, the tires are
filled with rim guard, so the tractor can go anywhere in the United States. I
just put a brand new battery in it also that includes a warranty. These tractors are very
difficult to find. It's a pre-def, but JD even added the fuel rail in 2013.
2012 is the ONLY YEAR that has no DEF or fuel rail that is in the way of the
injectors. We have several other 2012 tractors for this reason. I don't think
you will be able to find a cleaner single-owner tractor anywhere in the United
States with so few hours on it that is also pre-def. It was exceptionally
well-maintained and I'm pretty OCD about taking care of our nicer equipment.
Although I was looking for a 5100M, I decided to buy a 5115M because it’s the
largest engine that JD made in a utility tractor. It also works just like a
5100M when it is on 540e, so it is a lot more pleasant to drive. I also wanted
a 5-series, because they are extremely reliable, have been around for a long
time, and is JD’s most popular model (so parts will always be available decades
later). Unlike the 5Es, the 5Ms are made in America and are much more durable
and reliable. Although they are very
hard to find now because of COVID, JD still sells this exact same model but
with the complicated Tier 4 DEF emissions. Asking price is much less than the
price of a new one. I
am not interested in trades and will not be able to accept payment plans. Price
is with cash, cashier's check, money order, or personal check (will need to be
cleared first), and payment must be made upfront. Buyer is responsible for all
shipping arrangements. I'm looking for serious buyers only. If you can find
this tractor cheaper (similar condition, hours, and features) by any retailer
anywhere in the United States, then I'll likely match the price. Please
contact me BEFORE purchasing. Deposit will need to be made for me to save it
for you.
