On the price: This figure is the maker's published price for 2WD open station; Deere lists MFWD separately at $7,103. It is a real published number but not a like-for-like one, so nothing on this site ranks it against the bare-tractor prices — not the per-dollar picks, not the matchup pairings.

Lift figures are the maker's and are quoted at whichever point the maker chose; the about page explains why two loaders with the same number do not lift the same pallet.

From owner discussion and long-term write-ups

What owners say

What they like

49 PTO hp is enough for a small round baler, which is the job that pushes buyers out of the compact range in the first place
Final Tier 4 with no diesel particulate filter anywhere in the 5E line, so no regeneration cycles and one less service item
Deere's own PowerTech 3029 EWR rather than a bought-in engine, with parts through the same dealer network
Cab, 12F/12R PowrReverser and eHydro are all available; the eHydro build also raises pump flow to 29.6 gpm
6,029 lb in 4WD open-station trim gives it the weight to hold a Category 2 implement
About $2,600 below a 5075E on Deere's published list for the same hitch, hydraulics and cab options

What they complain about

Deere's published figure is a 2WD open-station machine; MFWD adds $7,103 and a cab about $10,200 on the same price page
The base 9F/3R SyncShuttle has no power shuttle, so every direction change on loader work goes through the clutch
49 PTO hp from 67.6 gross means about 28 percent lost before the shaft
18.2 gpm is the same flow the 50 hp 5050E gets, so implements do not run any faster for the extra engine
No cruise control on any SyncShuttle build

Gathered from owner reports

What owners report

Owners who bought one mostly did so as a second, larger machine rather than a first tractor, and loader capacity is the reason they give. One on just over ten acres who had run a 32-horsepower compact since 2002 bought a cab version specifically for the bigger projects, and is candid that if he could only have one tractor he would look hard at a 4-series instead for that acreage. Mowing is where owners report the biggest quality-of-life gain: one who had been cutting ten acres with a zero-turn that left him sore the next day describes the cab, air conditioning, air-ride seat and a 72-inch flail making the job genuinely enjoyable, with a 12-foot tow-behind finish mower on order to match a zero-turn's cut quality. Front-mounted boom cutters are a popular pairing on these, though one owner heading out to cut a pond bank with one worried about tipping with the arm extended and tilted down over the edge, having no ballast in his tires because he normally works on flat ground. Against that, one owner two years in calls the experience a shambles - not for anything the tractor did, but because his dealer has failed to carry out a fuel and hydraulic update after six weeks and three visits to ask, and no other dealer in the area has picked it up either.

What comes up favourably

It transforms mowing at this acreage - an owner who had been beaten up by a zero-turn on ten acres reports a cab, air conditioning, air-ride seat and a 72-inch flail making the same job pleasant.
Loader capacity is the specific reason owners step up to it from a compact, with one buying it as a second machine purely for the bigger projects his 32-horsepower tractor could not handle.
It suits front-mounted boom cutters for trail and bank work, which owners pair with it for clearing edges and embankments that a rear implement cannot reach.

What comes up as a complaint

Dealer service has badly let one owner down - two years in, his dealer has not performed a fuel and hydraulic update despite three visits over six weeks, and other dealers in his area have not stepped in either.
It is more tractor than most ten-acre properties need as a sole machine, and the owner of one says as much: if he could have only one, he would look hard at a 4-series instead.
Its weight complicates towing. An owner working through trailer choice had to weigh a gooseneck against a bumper pull purely to stay under the 26,001 lb combined threshold that would otherwise require a commercial licence.

Questions worth asking

Is a 5067E too much tractor for a ten-acre place?

As a sole machine, probably. An owner on just over ten acres bought his as a second tractor alongside a long-serving compact, specifically because he wanted the loader capacity for larger projects, and says plainly that if he could only have one he would look hard at a 4-series instead. Where it earns its place on that acreage is mowing, where the cab and a wide implement turn a punishing job into a comfortable one.

What does it take to trailer a 5067E?

Enough planning that one owner called his department of transportation about it. The threshold that matters is a combined 26,001 lb, above which a commercial licence comes into play, and he found that a gooseneck trailer's own weight would push him roughly 3,000 lb over it while a quality bumper pull would keep him under. If you are near that line, the trailer you choose matters as much as the truck.

Is it safe to cut a bank with a front-mounted boom mower?

An owner about to do exactly that was nervous enough to ask, and his own reasoning is sound: he planned to stay well back from the edge and noted his tires carried no liquid ballast because he normally works flat ground. The implement in question weighed around 600 lb and sits low, but extending and tilting it over a drop moves weight off to one side. Adding ballast before that kind of work, and keeping well clear of the edge, is what owners generally advise.

Summarised from public owner discussion, not from testing. Nothing here was measured by this site, and a report that recurs is not the same as a defect rate.
