John Deere 5M Series Tractors: Redefined for Productivity

To cater to customers seeking new technology and transmission options, John Deere has revamped its lineup of 5M Series Tractors. Enhanced features and capabilities have been added to meet the demands of hay, livestock, and commercial customers.

“Now, John Deere makes the PowrQuad transmissions available on the 5090M5100M5115M cab versions and includes it in base equipment on the newly added 125-horsepower 5125M, which is only available with a cab. PowrQuad transmissions make it easy for operators to find the right speed with clutchless, push-button shifting between gears, allowing them to focus on their work,” said Greg Christensen, marketing manager for John Deere.

Gear shifting a breeze for those using a machine from the John Deere 5M Series. Operators can easily change gears without foot clutching, thanks to the Upshift and Downshift Gear button. There are four manual ranges, up to 32 speeds, and the single lever is all operators need to get their job done at the speed of their choice.

The 5125Mt Tractor allows customers to pull implements at up to 125 horsepower, ensuring maximum versatility. In addition, the maneuverability and visibility of the machine allow operators to work more efficiently than ever before.

Video: Sclerotinia and Lygus in Seed Canola: Field Update with George Lubberts, CCA | Enchant, Alberta

Join Certified Crop Advisor George Lubberts for this Prairie Certified Crop Advisor (Prairie CCA) field update from Enchant, Alberta. In this 12th video of the series, George takes us into a seed canola field where the male rows have been removed and the female plants are filling pods. This video was taken in the third week of August 2025.

George discusses the early signs of sclerotinia stem rot, explaining how infection begins in the stem, impacts pod development, and leads to premature ripening. He also shares insights on lygus bug management, including timing of spray applications to minimize feeding damage and maintain seed size and quality.

With cool, damp summer conditions, George notes that while disease pressure is present, overall field health remains good. The crop is just beginning to show early seed colour change, signaling progress toward maturity.

Topics Covered:

•Sclerotinia stem rot identification and impact

•Managing lygus bugs in seed canola

•Crop stage and seed colour change observations

•Timing insecticide sprays for optimal protection

•Insights from a CCA field perspective in southern Alberta
