John Deere working Woods Precision Super Seeder...Over seeding fall pastures
What happens here
The presenter briefly discusses the John Deere 5065E tractor, noting that while it has served well, it is somewhat undersized for the farm's 150 acres and the heavy Woods Precision Super Seeder. He mentions it has about 53-55 PTO horsepower. Ideally, a larger tractor (e.g., a 5075) with a cab would be preferred for future operations. He stresses the need for a front ballast on the tractor when using such heavy equipment to maintain stability.
Goal: Understand the tractor's capabilities and its fit for the task.
