The 520M, 540M, and H310 Loaders can be configured with a single-point hydraulic connection that also incorporates the connection point for any electrical needs. To disconnect the hydraulic connection between the loader and the tractor, it is necessary to relieve the hydraulic system oil pressure on the tractor.
Quick-Coupler connection is also an option.
John Deere loaders are easily removed and reinstalled on tractors without tools. The parking system allows removing or attaching the loader to the tractor in minutes without the need for tools.
Refer to the operator manual for complete step-by-step procedure and specific information.
An abbreviated example is listed below with some images.
To remove the loader
Loader raised to allow for parking stands to be lowered and locked into place for parking
Lowering Parking Stands: Parking stand pin is used to secure stand in up position during loader usage as well as lower position when being removed (parked).
With bucket tilted apply slight down pressure to the loader boom.
Place the locking pin into the open position for loader to allow for the loader to be removed (parking pins are designed to stay on the loader; no need to be removed completely
Loader shown removed / parked
A hydraulic shut-off valve is included with the M- and H-Series Ag Loaders to ensure the loader does not lower suddenly. For example, this allows the boom to be locked out when someone is required to be located under the loader boom for service work on the tractor. It should not be used for extended periods of time unless an appropriate support stand is also utilized.
An enhancement to the loader is the suspension system. A great level of loader productivity is achieved with the LSS.
Performance
NOTE: Check bale-handling capability of tractor before use.
Cost of ownership
Reasons for turning LSS off include:
The switch is conveniently located in the operator station to avoid having to exit the operator station to manually move the handle on the LSS.
LSS can also be ordered with a manual shutoff. Depending on the tractor/loader model, the accumulator is located in different places.
On the 5 Series Tractors, the accumulator is mounted near the inside of the rear right wheel.
