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.
