Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special Iowa tax counsel for John Deere Owner Trust 2021 (the “Trust”) and John Deere Receivables LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“JDRL”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form SF-3, as amended (the “Registration Statement”), filed by JDRL on behalf of the Trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the issuance by the Trust of Asset Backed Notes (the “Notes”) and Asset Backed Certificates (the “Certificates”). The Notes are to be issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of March 10, 2021, between the Trust and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association (“Indenture Trustee”), substantially in the form of Exhibits “D”, “E”, “F” and “G” thereto. The Certificates are to be issued substantially in the form of Exhibit “A” to the Trust Agreement dated March 9, 2021, between Wells Fargo Delaware Trust Company, N.A., as Owner Trustee, and JDRL, as Depositor. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Underwriting Agreement dated March 2, 2021 among JDRL, John Deere Capital Corporation, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC and TD Securities (USA) LLC, on their own behalf and as representatives of the underwriters named therein.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the following: (i) the Registration Statement; (ii) the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement; (iii) the Preliminary Prospectus included in the Registration Statement; (iv) the Indenture; (v) the Trust Agreement; (vi) the Sale and Servicing Agreement; (vii) the Administration Agreement; (viii) the Asset Representations Review Agreement; and (ix) the Purchase Agreement (collectively the “Documents”). As to any facts material to the opinion expressed herein, we have relied solely upon the factual matters contained in the representations and statements made in the Documents and we have not independently established or verified their accuracy. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. We have also assumed the due execution and delivery pursuant to due authorization by each of the entities party to the Documents.

We are members of the Bar of the State of Iowa, and we express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the United States of America and the State of Iowa.
