Thanks for all of your replies. Appears it's true that the 5020 John Deere was (heavy) for it's horsepower. When I recently pulled out a pretty large tree stump (with 1500 lb weights on each side) I didn't mind the weight at all ! 30.5 X 32 rear tires, no fluid. Load'em with fluid and then what could I pull-out??? Ha!
Of course field work at a reasonable speed is something else but I must say (with little experience with this tractor) it's ability to make a U-turn on the road, idled all the way down in it's highest, 8th gear, with nary a sputter--is impressive. But, I've driven gas tractors in the past so believe the lugging ability of a diesel is what I'm experiencing.
Still, I have found some people who own them like them a lot. For a hobbie tractor I like mine a bunch and especially like the huge fenders and the "bassy" sound of the engine.
