John Deere 5R Series Tractor Review 5125R

This is an owner's own-farm walkaround of a newly purchased 5125R replacing their old 5075M, made because the creator couldn't find good 5R information when shopping. It's a detailed, options-focused tour covering the 540R loader, bucket lights, SCV valve types, spill collector, larger lift cylinders, PTO economy mode, DEF/SCR experience at 40 hours, cab features, and the electro-hydraulic loader control. Best for buyers comparing specific options before ordering.
