Raised cab offers flat floor, greater visibility
John Deere 5000 TWENTY Series utility tractors feature a completely new cab and
Isolated Open Operator Station (IOOS). The new cab and IOOS have flat floors,
providing more room than the more traditional straddle-mount design of the TEN
series and competitive models. Both platforms are isolated from the chassis
using rubber isolators. The controls are cable operated and ergonomically
placed for added comfort and reduced vibration. The floor of the new cab is
raised approximately 7 inches (18 centimeters) over previous models to obtain
the flat-floor design. In spite of this, the new cab offers improved loader
visibility with its patented raised header bar design. In addition, the overall
height of the cab did not increase. The raised header bar allows the operator
to easily see the bottom of the loader bucket in the full-raise position
without leaning over the steering wheel.
