Thanks for the mention @tepapa

We had a 2008 T5060, done about 800 hours in its first few years then about 1000 a year there after. Was a great tractor, lightweight, simple, powerful, best gripping tractor that size. Had the 24x24 with power shuttle.
Like any T5000 I have drove the 4wd stayed on after you braked, which led to the 4wd carrier bearing and dog clutches to go at around 3200 hours, but we also fitted new front tyres at that time so the ratio may have been upset. Had around 2500 hours we had to change a leaking brake pipe.

Was a really torquey tractor, would pull and pull at 1300rpm, but she did like a drink. Brakes on her were like new the day she lift and it was 80% roadwork she done. Electrics is the biggest issue with them, many the rear light cluster rusting up.

The T5060 genuinely is the only tractor that we have sold that I miss, would buy her back if I could. These pictures are of the day she left

Have the NH equivalent T50. Over all good little tractor. Only difference between tractors in the range turn of the screw on the pump so a 105 can easily become a 115. Check the specs think 120l was standard fuel tank but could get one with 160l. Mine was very economical on fuel at 97hp but less so now its pushing 120 HP.
Very light on back end if loader fitted so needs a weight block.
Hello, I have t5050 too. How much did you turn with the fuel screw to get 120hp?? And did you also have to adjust timing? Thanks a lot.

Don't know. Done by my mechanic on a Dyno. To make sure we didn't go to far. We did upgrade the fuel filter to a longer one though to reduce any restriction on fuel.

I have also installed fuel filter for t6000 series and turned the screw like turn and a half without smoke at all but I have no access to a dyno so I am not sure what power its producing now. Hope not u see that mechanic soon, but could you please find out how much he turned, it would help me a lot. Thanks a lot, wishing you lot hours without maintenance

Hello @tepapa I have a kinda weird question for you. I am not sure how to turn on upper front lights located in the hood. I checked the fuses and bulbs and they are all fine. Thanks for your help.

Mine come on with the first click of the front spot lights on the right hand Piller between the door and side window. The second click turns the front roof spots on.
