John Deere 5515 Tractor Parts

The John Deere 5515 was introduced in 2001 as part of the John Deere 5000 series utility tractors, continuing production until 2007. This tractor is powered by a John Deere 4045D diesel engine, a 4.5L (276 cu in) four-cylinder engine producing approximately 75 horsepower. The engine is naturally aspirated and direct injected for efficient fuel use. Transmission options included a standard SyncReverser transmission with 9 forward and 3 reverse gears, and an optional PowrReverser transmission, providing clutchless directional changes. The PTO horsepower is rated at approximately 65 HP with a standard 540 RPM PTO. The hydraulic system has a capacity of around 15.5 GPM, providing ample flow for implements. It typically features two rear remote valves. The 3-point hitch is a Category II hitch with a lift capacity of approximately 4,189 lbs. The 5515 was commonly used for row crop work, haying operations (baling and mowing), livestock management (feeding and manure handling), and light tillage. It distinguished itself from other models in the 5000 series with its slightly higher horsepower and heavier-duty components, making it a robust choice for mid-sized farms.
