John Deere 5720 Tractor Parts

The John Deere 5720 was introduced in 2003 as part of the John Deere 5000 series, designed to provide a mid-range utility tractor for diverse agricultural applications. Production continued until 2007. The 5720 features a John Deere PowerTech 4045T 4.5L 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine, delivering approximately 75 engine horsepower. Available transmission options typically included a SyncShuttle transmission with various gear configurations, such as a 9F/9R or 12F/4R speeds, providing flexibility for different field conditions. The PTO horsepower is rated around 64 HP, with a standard 540 RPM PTO. Hydraulic capacity is around 15 GPM, supporting multiple remote valves for implements. The 3-point hitch is a Category II, offering a lift capacity of approximately 4,500 lbs. Common farming applications include hay production (mowing, baling), livestock operations (feeding, manure handling), row crop work (planting, cultivating), and light tillage. The 5720 distinguishes itself from other models in the 5000 series through its horsepower rating and features, providing a good middle ground for farmers needing more power than smaller models but not requiring the larger size and capabilities of higher horsepower tractors.
