John Deere 5090M, 5100M, 5115M - Hitch and Drawbar


John Deere 5090M, 5100M, 5115M Hitch

John Deere 5090M, 5100M, 5115M - Operate Electrohydraulic Position Control

Engine must be running for electrohydraulic hitch controls to work. Rear hitch position lever controls raise or lower movement of 3-point hitch-mounted implement and ground depth penetration. Pull lever rearward to raise; push lever forward to lower. Draft control setting automatically influences actual hitch position. For independent position control, rotate draft knob fully counterclockwise.

Adjust Position Control Depth Stop: Push down and rotate wheel until stop sets to desired working depth. After raising hitch, implement returns to set depth when hitch position lever is pushed forward (lowered) to contact stop. A few minutes of implement operation are required to determine the best depth. Set desired depth with stop wheel. Hitch returns implement to previous above- or below-ground depth. To lower hitch below the preset depth stop, lift position lever and push forward past stop.

Depth Control (level, in-ground, on-ground, and non-ground engaged situations): Position lever at desired depth.

Float Control (uneven, ride on-ground contour situations): Position lever fully forward and rotate draft knob fully counterclockwise. Ensure that implement skids or height gauge wheels are set correctly to carry full implement weight. Ensure that hitch draft link arms are adjusted for any required lateral float.

Height at Turn (end of field turn-around situations): Position lever rearward until implement is out of ground. Set hitch height with the limit knob.

Quick Raise at Turn (end of field turn around situations): Press and hold raise switch (top) until hitch implement is not engaged in or on ground, but not fully raised. Set hitch height limit with the limit knob.

Implement Transport (load and non-load sense usage): Position lever fully rearward. Ensure that lever is in transport lock position (lever flipped over latch at the padlock symbol). Quick raise/lower buttons are disabled when the position lever is in transport lock position. Hitch rises to transport lock position when machine is started.



JD 5090M, 5100M, 5115M - Height Adjustable Trailer Hitch

Hitches can be adjusted up or down according to the implement height and obtain clearance for the center link or PTO operation. The machine can be equipped with different hitch versions which are operated in different ways. Adjust Height and Operate Hitch: The height of all hitches can be adjusted using quick release lever. Support hitch with one hand move hitch with the other. Make sure that the side locking pins have fully engaged. Manual type hitches can be operated by handle. Automatic type hitches can be operated using lever or can be operated from the operators seat using remote hitch lever.

Operate Pick-Up Hitch

Use caution when making sharp turns. Adjust sway blocks or stabilizers to prevent interference or binding. Lower rear hitch using the rear hitch control lever. Retract pick-up hitch control lever. Retract rear hitch control lever to raise pick-up hitch. Hook end can be replaced with a standard draw bar if needed. Remove draw bar retaining pin and remove hook end draw bar. Install standard draw bar and reinstall retaining pin.

John Deere 5090M, 5100M, 5115M Attach Implement to Rear Hitch Ball End

Before attaching or detaching implement, place draft lever or knob into lowest setting. Use position lever to raise or lower implement. Do not use rear quick raise/lower buttons. Be sure that drawbar does not interfere. If necessary, move the drawbar to fully retracted position or remove it. Check for any other potential interference.

Telescopic Draft Links

Move button or lock pin toward center of machine and pull out draft link end. Slip draft link end over the implement hitch pin. Retain with a quick-lock pin. Repeat on the other side. Raise or lower draft arms to align draft link ends with implement, slowly back up the machine to lock ends in place. Back machine up to implement so hitch points align. Place transmission in Park and stop engine. Slip draft link ends over the implement hitch pins and retain with quick-lock pins.

Center Link

Pull release tab back and remove center link locking clip to release center link from the transport hook. Attach center link to implement top mast.

Adjust and Check Clearance

Whenever an implement, quick coupler, or attachment is connected to the hitch, check full range of operation for interference, binding, or PTO separation. When large diameter rear tires are installed, a quick coupler or similar device is required to provide adequate implement-to-tire clearance. Adjust center link and lift links as necessary. Adjust sway as necessary. Start engine. Slowly raise and lower implement with hitch fender switch or position lever. Watch for interference points and adjust hitch setting as required. Check for adequate clearance between outside diameter of the tire and implement with hitch in raised position.

JD 5090M, 5100M, 5115M - Level Hitch Ball End

Manual Center Link Adjustment: Lower implement to ground and adjust center link to level implement front-to-rear. Maximum adjustment range of the center link can only be obtained if the ends are positioned equally within the body when attached to an implement. Unlatch locking clip.

Rotate link body: Clockwise to lengthen. Counterclockwise to shorten. Latch locking clip.

Lift Link Adjustment: Adjust lift link to level implement side-to-side. Lift locking handle to clear locking tab.

Keep slot engaged on roll pin and turn locking handle: Clockwise to raise the draft link. Counterclockwise to lower the draft link. When adjustment is complete, align slot with locking tab, and lower to lock in place and prevent change of adjustment during operation.

Hydraulic Center Link Adjustment: Engage implement in application. Use SCV III control to extend or retract hydraulic center link cylinder to level implement front-to-rear.

John Deere 5090M, 5100M, 5115M - Attach Implement to Rear Hitch Hook End

Engine must be running for 3-point hitch control to work. Back machine up to implement to be attached. Engine must be running to operate the rear hitch. Use position control lever to raise or lower draft links near the attachment points. Do NOT use rear quick raise/lower buttons. Set desired depth with the position control lever stop. Be sure that drawbar does not interfere. If necessary, move the drawbar to fully retracted position or remove it. Check for any other potential interference.

Hook End Draft Links

When implements with asymmetrical load (e.g. side-mounted mowing unit) are attached, or when driving through high-growing bushes and trees (e.g. when working in the forest), the draft links must be secured against opening accidentally. The coupler hooks can be locked in their "open" position by pulling on lever and rotating 90 degrees. To close the coupler hook again, pull the lever up at an angle and rotate. Hook type draft links are intended for Category I and Category II implements. Implements can be attached to and removed from the draft links without the driver having to leave the seat. Hook type draft links can be released from the operators position by pulling on cable. When cable is released, hook end draft links return to closed position.

Attaching Implement

With draft links lowered, reverse machine until the coupler hooks are below the implement hitch pins. Slowly raise draft links until pins are engaged in coupler hooks and locked into position. Adjust center link to the required length and attach to top attaching point of implement mast. Make certain that implement is correctly locked to coupler hooks.

JD 5090M, 5100M, 5115M - Draft Link Hook Lock

Use draft link locking pins on applications where implement could be forced up and open unintentionally. Examples are driving through high-growing bushes, trees, or implements with asymmetrical load, such as a side-mounted mower. Lower rear hitch below the implement connection points. Position coupler ends of lift arms below the implement link pins and slowly raise hitch until coupler ends lock on the pins. Insert draft link pins in both coupler hooks.

Center Link

Pull release tab back and remove center link locking clip to release center link from the transport hook. Attach center link to implement top mast. Use SCV IV to extend hydraulic center link if equipped.

Adjust and Check Clearance

Whenever an implement, quick coupler, or attachment is connected to the hitch, check full range of operation for interference, binding, or PTO separation. When large diameter rear tires are installed, a quick coupler or similar device is required to provide adequate implement-to-tire clearance. Adjust center link and lift links as necessary. Adjust sway as necessary. Start engine. Slowly raise and lower implement with hitch fender switch or position control lever. Watch for interference points and adjust hitch setting as required. Check for adequate clearance between outside diameter of the tire and implement with hitch in raised position.

John Deere 5090M, 5100M, 5115M - Quick Coupler

Put transmission in PARK position and check the full range of hitch for interference, binding, or PTO separation whenever an implement is attached. Make sure that implement is correctly attached. Incorrect attachment can allow implement to be pulled over the machine wheel and onto the operator station. Do not stand between machine and implement.

Connect Implement

Pull coupler latch handles up. Lower hitch until quick coupler hooks are lower than implement hitch pins. Back up the machine to implement. Raise hitch enough to engage implement pins in hooks. Push coupler latch handles down to lock implement to quick coupler. Connect hydraulic hoses and electrical connections. Check for implement interference. Drawbar removal may be necessary. Slowly pull position lever to raise implement. Lower implement to ground and adjust upper height limit control if necessary.

Disconnect Implement

Pull coupler latch handles up with implement raised. Disconnect hydraulic hoses and electrical connections. Lower implement to ground and continue lowering quick coupler until hooks clear implement hitch pins. Carefully drive the machine away from implement.

John Deere 5090M, 5100M, 5115M - Front Implement Connection

Draft Link Positions

Set front draft links to float position, locked position, or transport position. To change setting: Remove retaining clip from pin. Lift draft link to relieve pressure from pin. Remove pin. Move draft link to desired position. Reinstall pin and retaining clip.

Draft Link Hook Lock

Install front mounted implement using SCV I. Lower front hitch below the implement connection points. Position coupler ends of lift arms below the implement link pins and slowly raise hitch until coupler ends lock on the pins. Insert draft link pin into draft link locking pin hole in both coupler hooks.

Front Hitch Center Link

Lower implement to ground. Hold center link and pull on the storage handle. Align center link with the top mast of implement. To lengthen or shorten the center link, move locking clip away from center link. Use turnbuckle to adjust length and return locking clip to closed position. Perform additional adjustment as necessary to level implement after cycling front hitch. Install implement pin through center link and retain. Remove implement in reverse order. If front hitch center link must be removed for any reason, support center link and remove pin and clip.

John Deere 5090M, 5100M, 5115M - Front Hitch and Coupler Operation

Diverter Valve Operation

The diverter valve is located just outside the rear window on the rear left corner of the cab and only controls front hitch oil flow. Diverter valve handles can be accessed and changed from within the machine cab. There are three settings for the diverter valve: Oil flow blocked. Front hitch does not move. Hydraulically raised, gravity lowered using weight of implement. Hydraulically raised and lowered. If rear SCV I couplers are used for a rear implement, multi-valve must be in setting to block flow to the front hitch. When front mounted implements with retaining chains are used, avoid damage by selecting setting. Operate SCV I in float to allow implement to follow the ground contour.

Front Hitch Operation

Do not attach hoses to rear SCV I couplers if using front hitch. Unexpected movement and undesired performance occurs. The front hitch utilizes the SCV I for oil supply and control. To operate front hitch: Retract SCV I to lower the hitch. Extend SCV I to raise hitch. Push SCV I fully forward to float the front hitch.

Front Hydraulic Couplers

Open cover and connect hoses to retract and extend couplers accordingly. Connection and disconnection are possible when ports are not under pressure. Move SCV II lever to release pressure as required. Use SCV II to operate front hydraulic couplers. When removing, firmly pull to disconnect hoses.

John Deere 5090M, 5100M, 5115M Drawbar

Drawbar Settings

Adjust Drawbar Length - Remove retaining pin. Remove drawbar pin. Slide drawbar to desired position. Install pin and insert a retaining pin to lock drawbar in place.

Adjust Drawbar Offset - Remove retaining pin. Remove pin and spacers. Offset drawbar toward left or right. Install pin and insert a retaining pin and spacers into hole to hold drawbar in place.

Clevis Drawbar

Flip handle to the vertical position as indicated. Rotate retaining pin counterclockwise while pulling upward on the handle. Implement pin releases when a notch in retaining pin aligns. Implement pin can be removed during connection or placed in the upper position. There are two detents on the implement pin shaft, one at the top and bottom. If the bottom detent of the implement pin is aligned with the retaining pin and locked, the pin is held up, allowing connection to the implement.

Drawn Implement Connection

Some heavy implements, such as a loaded single-axle trailer, can put excessive strain on drawbar. Speed and rough terrain increases drawbar strain. Reduce speed with heavy loads. Do not exceed maximum static vertical load on drawbar. Back machine up to implement. Align drawbar with the implement connection point as close as possible. Use a drawbar pin that is matched for the machine and implement holes with as little free play as possible. Using smaller diameter pins reduces implement control, increases potential for pin failure and causes excessive drawbar wear. Install a retaining clip in the drawbar pin. Install a safety chain from the implement to the machine. A safety chain helps control drawn equipment in case it accidentally separates from the drawbar. Using the appropriate adapter parts, attach the chain to the drawbar support. Provide only enough slack in the chain to permit turning.
