"I am a mining operation and use this tractor with a two bottom mole board plow, 80-inch rototiller and a 10-foot disk to break up virgin clay for our mining operation. We choose the 5075E 75-horsepower tractor after comparing with other manufactures in the same class including price, service, parts, and resale value. In two months, we have put just under 200 hours on it with absolutely no problems other than a few minor issues. It is working absolutely perfect in our application. It has enough power for its size and is very user friendly as we have multiple operators on it. "

"I have a John Deere 5075E tractor with cab and loader. I own a construction company and own many other tractors. I purchased this machine for my own personal use and am the only one that has operated it for day one. The tractor is used primarily to mow an 8-acre field with a bat wing finish mower. I have a few issues with the machine. 1. It is under powered. Even at 75 horsepower it can barely pull the mower on flat ground and maintain RPMs. 2. The fuel tank is 19 gallons, the tractor will only run 3.5 hours (that's 5.4 gallons per hour). 3. The cab is cramped. For some reason the seat is bolted to the floor forward leaving for to six inches behind the seat unused. 4. UNRELIABLE. The tractor, without warning, will shut down like you shut the key off then nothing. No electrical power what so ever. The dealer has worked on it twice with no success. Once repaired it runs 30 minutes and then quits again. 5. Minor but still a pain: the front tires are too narrow. In a dry field I still leave ruts; can't wait until spring and fall when its wet. Beware, if you need a 75 horsepower tractor get a 100 horsepower one. They don't make them like they used to. "

"I bought this tractor to do field mowing commercially. I also have a trucking company, so I got it with the cab. I can talk on the phone all day long and nobody knows I am mowing. I'm using the 7-foot Frontier single blade mower. Most of what I cut is not particularly heavy, so I mainly use the power take-off on economy mode, which saves a bunch of fuel. The only reason I give it a 4 star on performance is that sometimes the air conditioning doesn't keep up on days over 100 degrees. I have to bring a leaf blower to some jobs to blow weed seeds out of the radiators to keep it from overheating and the air conditioning working. I did have a mast pin on the loader pop out, bending a bracket. The local John Deere dealer came out, diagnosed the problem, and was back the next day to fix it. Outstanding service. "

"Frequent leaks have been addressed by the dealer. We replaced the gas tank as it had collapsed, and replaced the Titan front tires because of frequent leaks. There have been no problems with the Firestones. It is a good spray tractor, with lots of amps for running the controls. It's too small for anything but limited big round baler use. Will not start when below -25 F, plugged in or not. Brakes have to be pumped two or three times to function well, but will catch on the first pump...a little. It has a good cab, and the air is as dependable as is the heat. The radio was replaced when it failed. Awkward loader controls have gotten worse with time. I have to go over the tractor once per week with a wrench to tighten all the loose fittings. Would not consider buying this tractor again. "

"There have been lots of mixed reviews on this model of John Deere so far. I bought my 2015 5075e used with around 30 hours on it, but it was practically brand new at the time. I have since put around 300 hours on it. I own a 75-acre hay farm and I use this tractor all summer. My swather is around 10-feet wide and it cuts through the thick alfalfa just fine. I also use this tractor on my small round baler. It has plenty of power to do the things I need it to. I also use the tractor to plow out my place in the winter and I really enjoy the power reverse option. You don't need to constantly push the clutch in to do the work you need. I have had zero issues with it so far. There are a few ergonomic changes that could be made but that is all preference. As I stated earlier, I have around 350 hours on it with no issues. I use the tractor as it was intended, UTILITY work. I did not purchase this tractor to clear woods or farm 1,000 acres with. It works perfectly for my small farm and light loader work. "

"This is a great driving tractor. It is well balanced with a H240 loader/bucket and HX6 cutter. It has smooth shifting and nice features in the cab, with plenty of horsepower. It could run bigger implements if needed. I would like a bigger fuel tank. I plan to farm some, but right now I am mowing, clearing property, and maintaining firebreaks. The noise level with cab model is low and the ePTO feature is nice for light mowing. "

"The tractor is less than 1 year old with 80 hours. John Deere used be a trusted name, but, I surely disagree with that any more. It is junk made in foreign countries with little to no quality control and inferior materials, which makes for a piece of junk. I have had problem after problem since the day of delivery. There have been air conditioning and heater problems, fuel lines and clamps time and again, water leaks, etc."

"Nice tractor at first, but soon I was having power take-off, fuel, and a lot of other small and irritating problems. Now, no one will stand behind the product very frustrated with John Deere! "

"I bought my new 5075E with the hope that this would be my last ever tractor. Unfortunately, after 8 hours, the hydraulics failed and had to be repaired. I was assured this was a rare event and my tractor is a good one. I took John Deere's word and kept it. The first time I put it in the field, it started to overheat. After checking the normal possibilities, I brought it in. It turns out that the motor was bad and had to be replaced. At the same time, the clutch went bad and had to be replaced. All this occurred within less than 200 hours. John Deere assures me I have a good tractor. What do you think?"

"It has difficulty with a big round baler (low on horsepower). It also has frequent leaks which have been mostly fixed by the dealer. It has also had tire problems (Titan) since it was new. There was no warranty. The brakes are very poor. A hired man here refuses to use the tractor. It has high fuel usage for the horsepower produced. It is not up to the quality and performance of my other John Deere tractors and does not replace my 5205 loader tractor. It has a poor joy stick loader feel and poor sight lines with our self-leveling loader, as well as constant small problems. It is also very poor starting in the cold."
