When we first looked at John Deere’s 5125R, it’s fair to say we were rather smitten with the big tractor feel in a small tractor package. Top of the 5R’s many attractions is its new Command8 transmission, which, despite having a propensity to shift too often in auto mode, is blessed with plenty of other endearing features
The latest 5R group is a quartet of 90-125hp models hailing from Augusta, Georgia in the US of A. Previously this considerably simpler tractor line-up was produced at the Mannheim plant, and, although the name remains the same, few features have been retained … with the notable exception of the 2.25m wheelbase.
