4 Operator station and controls
A value tractor is of little value
if it’s hard to operate. That’s
why the new 5003 Series Tractors
have easy-to-use, color-coded
controls. Orange to control the
movement of the tractor, black to
operate the attachments and
yellow to control the PTO. And
unlike other tractors in this price
range, these levers are within
your reach but out of the way. No
awkward levers or controls to
straddle as you get on and off the
tractor. And once you’re on,
there’s plenty of legroom and a
comfortable seat.
Everything within reach,

A neutral start switch requires that
the gear shift lever be in the neutral
position or in the park position for
the engine to start. The park
position eliminates the need for a
handbrake. This also eliminates
clutch service costs that occur
when the park brake is accidentally
left engaged.
