Call John (owner) @ (***)-655-4277 with any questions.
JOHN DEERE JD 5510 JD5510 MFWD 4WD CAB, JD 541 NSL LOADER, heat and air conditioning, nice clean tractor, 3rd (extra) SCV remote valve, telescoping Category 2 lift arms, additional hydraulic "JD power beyond" connection (15-20 gpm flow I would estimate), syncro transmission (shift while moving without grinding) with 9 forward 3 reverse speeds. This tractor has an 89HP engine with 75HP available at the PTO.
I have done very little except service this tractor and replaced battery this winter (10 years is not a bad battery life). I never have to add any oil between changes as it does not appear to burn a single drop. I have changed the oil annually (50-75 hours) or had my dealer provide the service on a few occasions. I rate the rubber at 65% and there may be a few small cuts but tires are in great shape and generally hold air very well. The inside corner of one of the back tires has rubbed a lift arm at some time in the past and chewed on that rubber corner a little... it is the right rear tire as viewed from behind.
I have used this tractor for almost 5 years to groom my farm while spraying a 25 acre neglected bermuda field and clipping 15 acres of fescue as needed. I finally got my bermuda fields up to horse quality and just started true agricultural production last year. I am selling because I upgraded tractors to JD6420 for my hay operation (adjustable low-flow hydraulics was needed to run square bale accumulator).
My local JD dealer added the power beyond valve last year ($700) before I realized I would need very low flow for my Hoelscher accumulator and the power beyond valve is more suitable for something like a log splitter, backhoe, or other hydraulic implement that generates power and does not need low flow. The picture does not show an open valve because I had hoses plugged in running to the front of tractor for grapple. I have since removed extra hoses and extra valve with open top ports is current configuration. You can remove this power beyond valve and go back to traditional mounting with 3 brackets (2 horizontal for loader and extra port vertical) quite easily if desired.
The main display picture (tractor inside the empty barn on gravel) was several years ago and all the other pictures are recent. As you may notice from front pictures, I had the wheels set out 4 inches a few years ago for 36 inch spacing on a foodplot planter. Since that older picture, I have removed the bucket level indicator from the tractor after the hose clamp broke for the second time and I am currently unable to find the parts that I removed. The last time I checked, the whole assembly was about $60 with bracket and rod, but you obviously know what I think about it... it renders the tractor useless if the rod is dangling down... besides, you can see if the top of the bucket is level without it so I just don't get that feature.
Tractor has had an easy life mostly running a 15' batwing @ 1500 RPM for 9 years with some field spraying 30 acres @ 1200 RPM for 3-4 years. Started ag use last year and saw first full PTO engine speed since I have owned in 4-5 years. I baled about 125 4x5 round bales with absolutely no problems. Previous owner installed loader and the loader was brand new when I purchased with less than 500 hours on tractor. I was able to scrape the paint off the bucket pretty good when I was cleaning up around a pond I had built and installing drain tiles. The tractor was bought new in Huntsville, Alabama and was used mostly for bushogging prior to my purchase. This tractor is stout beyond belief (to me), but yet relatively compact.

See video of startup and inspection by me on a 32 degree day (you can tell hydraulics are cold when I move loader up/down):
