Titled: Deere Tour Showcases Both High And Low-Tech Innovations
By Jim Ruen

---snip---
It seemed like everywhere we turned the new technology was being turned up 
a notch. Then suddenly there it was - Deere's new, 74 hp/64 pto hp, 5403 
tractor. Manufactured in India to Deere's specifications, it has no GPS, no 
headland management, no assisted steering. It didn't even have a power shift.
The 5403 has a basic collar shift  transmission, 9 forward and three 
reverse speeds.
The open platform is the fourth in a series of lower cost, basic tractors 
stretching from 50 to 74 hp. This one is the biggest of the group and 
carries the highest price of $22,188.
"This design has been a tremendous success for us," says Barry Nelson, 
manager, public relations.
"It's just an economically priced, very basic barnyard tractor for chores 
around the farm."
