The 5003 Series Tractors feature either a two-wheel drive front axle or a heavy-duty four-wheel drive axle. An inboard planetary final drive and differential lock is standard on every tractor.
Made of heavy-duty nodular cast iron for added reliability, the 2WD front axle is adjustable in 51 mm increments to adapt to a wide variety of applications. The front axle provides 10 degrees of axle oscillation allowing the axle to follow uneven terrain for consistent performance and a comfortable ride. This also reduces the stress and maintenance cost on the axle spindles because loads are consistently spread across the entire axle. A 55-degree turn angle provides excellent manoeuvrability for big-torque tasks in tight spaces. The steering cylinder is bolted directly to the rear of the front axle so the axle housing protects the steering cylinder from potential punctures created by rough terrain, rocky soil
conditions, or thick crop material.
The limited-slip, heavy-duty MFWD front axle will provide operators with increased drawbar pull and improved traction when operating in slippery conditions. This ensures the operator gets the required torque to the ground for applications that demand more from the tractor. The MFWD front axle also reduces wheel slippage with less tractor ballasting for reduced soil compaction, increased fuel economy and longer tyre life.
The MFWD centreline design provides excellent manoeuvrability around the worksite and more crop clearance so customers aren't driving down their crop or profits. Additional versatility is proven when wheel treads are adjusted and with 6 degrees of caster angle and a 55-degree turn angle which result in a turning radius as short as 3 metres (brakes applied), allowing plenty of horsepower to turn around in tight places. 10 degrees of axle oscillation follows uneven terrain allowing for consistent performance and comfortable ride.
Axle oscillation also reduces the stress and maintenance cost on the axle spindles because loads are consistently spread across the entire axle. The centreline design eliminates the need for drive shaft universal joints that require regular maintenance. Anti-wrap shielding on the driveline is standard to prevent crop material and debris from building around the driveline and ensures tractor performance. Three grease points are conveniently located to minimise maintenance time while maximising front axle performance.
