great machine,will keep buying deere from now on
I use this machine for roadside grass cutting commercially and commercial snowplowing and blowing in Canada average 500hrs to 800 hrs per year as of right now , I have had no serious issues with it, had a loose wire which would not let it start once but john deere fixed that on site same day, love the power reverser and the wet clutch my last tractor(not john deere) blew a clutch yearly due to it being a dry clutch doing the kind of work I do, its great on fuel with the 540 e option when doing roadside grass cutting saved 25% on fuel from the previous year using other tractor doing same job same milage same hours, my tractor has the cab with air ride seat and corner exhaust and the air ride seat is a must have if in the seat for in my case 10 to 12 hrs at a time

Good tractor for the money
I use my 5100E to pull 15ft rotary cutter. I ordered 3SCV's, wouldn't have one without it. I also had duals put on for hillside mowing. This tractor is great. I use to mow with my 6140R, the 5100 is much better suited. Also great tractor for snow removal. I find it being my tractor of choice. The cab is quiet, cool in summer, warm in winter. I did also get the right door kit. I recommend.

Great tractor for a small farm.
The efficiency of this tractor was just what I was looking for. Cab was set up great, easy visibility all the way around. Never had a problem with the power of it, it was always there when I needed it. Started great in the cold, easy maintenance.

Cattle farm operation
I purchase my 5100E new in 2014, we operate a cattle operation in Va. it used to cut, rake and bale hay and un-roll bales during the winter. Also used for snow removal, bush hogging and other general items on the farm. This tractor works great for everyone we do, with our operation getting bigger, we just purchase a new 6120M for bigger equipment we are purchasing, but have decide to keep our 5100E as it has been maint free.
