The 5000 series compact tractors were introduced to the American market in 1992. However, they were not brought to Europe until the fall of 1996. The technology was mostly the same as the models manufactured in the USA, but production took place in Carrara, Italy. However, the powertrain differed from the American one, as it originated from Carraro.

In Europe, initially only the mid-range models of the series were sold: the 55 hp 5300 and the 70 hp 5400. A narrow fruit-growing tractor was also available with 80 horsepower (5500 N), and at the end of 1998, the 5500 was also introduced to the market. The creep gearbox was standard equipment in Europe, and with the overdrive gear, a speed of 40 km/h could be achieved. The transmission was only partially synchronized, but the reverser was synchronized, and the clutch friction surfaces were ceramic.

The 5000 series was not sold in Finland, but it was available in Sweden as well.
