Overview
An owner-operator's informal walkaround after 54 hours of real use on a 2022 JD 5055E with 520M loader. Covers tire choice (industrial vs. AG) and why he prefers it, two actual issues found (a loose fuel plug dripping diesel, a pulled hydraulic return line), cab ergonomics for a 6'2" driver, sun visor flaw, door gasket water leak, and 540E PTO performance brush-hogging tall growth. Best for prospective 5055E buyers wanting candid first-owner impressions rather than a dealer pitch.
An owner-operator sharing personal impressions from everyday use on their own property, with no apparent commercial or dealer affiliation.
