Standing less than 56-in. tall and 53-in. wide, this high performer keeps a low profile while protecting your prized fruit. The 5075GL is proof that good things do, in fact, come in small packages. Its narrow, low-profile combined with a powerful 75 HP engine and 61 PTO HP make this machine the perfect fit for the grueling demands of orchards, vineyards and other operations. With its impressively small stature - less than 56-in. tall and less than 53-in. wide - the 5075GL is our narrowest tractor yet . Add to that the improved maneuverability and this machine easily navigates rows and clears those small, tight spaces when trees are laden with fruit, protecting the crop from damage. Don’t let the small size fool you. The 5075GL was built for power. Whether you’re flail mowing, spraying, pushing harvest bins or trailering, this machine provides the engine and PTO horsepower you need to get the job done.
