MEASUREMENTS in this manual are given in both
metric and customary U.S. unit equivalents. Use only
correct replacement parts and fasteners. Metric and inch
fasteners may require a specific metric or inch wrench.
RIGHT-HAND AND LEFT-HAND sides are determined by
facing the direction of forward travel.
WRITE TRACTOR SERIAL (CHASSIS) NUMBER in
the Specification or Identification Numbers section.
Accurately record all the numbers to help in tracing the
machine should it be stolen. Your dealer also needs these
numbers when you order parts. File the identification
numbers in a secure place off the machine.
SETTING FUEL DELIVERY BEYOND PUBLISHED

Handle Fuel Safely—Avoid Fires

Handle fuel with care: it is highly flammable. Do not refuel
the machine while smoking or when near open flame or
sparks.
Always stop engine before refueling machine. Fill fuel

tank outdoors.
Prevent fires by keeping machine clean of accumulated
trash, grease, and debris. Always clean up spilled fuel.
Use only an approved fuel container for transporting
flammable liquids.

Handle Starting Fluid Safely

Starting fluid is highly flammable.
Keep all sparks and flame away when using it. Keep
starting fluid away from batteries and cables.
To prevent accidental discharge when storing the

TS1356 —UN—18MAR92

in a cool, protected location.
Do not incinerate or puncture a starting fluid container.
Do not use starting fluid on an engine equipped with glow
plugs or an air intake heater.
DX,FIRE3 -19-14MAR14-1/1

Fire Prevention
To reduce the risk of fire, your tractor should be regularly
inspected and cleaned.
• Birds and other animals may build nests or bring other
flammable materials into the engine compartment
or onto the exhaust system. The tractor should be
inspected and cleaned prior to the first use each day.
• A build up of grass, crop material and other debris may
occur during normal operation. This is especially true
when operating in very dry conditions or conditions
where airborne crop material or crop dust is present.
Any such build up must be removed to ensure proper
machine function and to reduce the risk of fire. The
tractor must be inspected and cleaned periodically
throughout the day.
• Regular and thorough cleaning of the tractor combined
with other routine maintenance procedures listed in the
Operator’s Manual greatly reduce the risk of fire and the
chance of costly downtime.
• Do not store fuel container where there is an open
flame, spark, or pilot light such as within a water heater
or other appliance.
• Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently for
damage, cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.
Follow all operational and safety procedures posted on
the machine and the Operator’s Manual. Be careful of hot
engine and exhaust components during inspection and
cleaning. Before carrying out any inspection or cleaning,
always shut OFF the engine, place the transmission in
PARK or set parking brake, and remove the key. Removal
of the key will prevent others from starting the tractor
during inspection and cleaning.

 Safety

In Case of Fire
CAUTION: Avoid personal injury.

Stop machine immediately at the first sign of fire. Fire

may be identified by the smell of smoke or sight of flames.
Because fire grows and spreads rapidly, get off the

TS227 —UN—15APR13
machine immediately and move safely away from the fire.
Do not return to the machine! The number one priority
is safety.
Call the fire department. A portable fire extinguisher can
put out a small fire or contain it until the fire department
arrives; but portable extinguishers have limitations.
Always put the safety of the operator and bystanders first.
If attempting to extinguish a fire, keep your back to the 1. Pull the pin. Hold the extinguisher with the nozzle

4. Sweep the nozzle from side-to-side.
If your extinguisher does not have instructions, follow
these general guidelines:
DX,FIRE4 -19-22AUG13-1/1

Avoid Static Electricity Risk When Refueling

The removal of sulfur and other compounds in Ultra-Low
Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel decreases its conductivity and
increases its ability to store a static charge.
Refineries may have treated the fuel with a static

RG22142 —UN—17MAR14
dissipating additive. However, there are many factors that
can reduce the effectiveness of the additive over time.
Static charges can build up in ULSD fuel while it is flowing
through fuel delivery systems. Static electricity discharge
when combustible vapors are present could result in a
fire or explosion.
Therefore, it is important to ensure that the entire system
used to refuel your machine (fuel supply tank, transfer
pump, transfer hose, nozzle, and others) is properly
grounded and bonded. Consult with your fuel or fuel
system supplier to ensure that the delivery system is in
compliance with fueling standards for proper grounding
RG21992 —UN—21AUG13

and bonding practices.

Keep ROPS Installed Properly

Make certain all parts are reinstalled correctly if the
roll-over protective structure (ROPS) is loosened or
removed for any reason. Tighten mounting bolts to proper
torque.

TS212 —UN—23AUG88
The protection offered by ROPS will be impaired if ROPS
is subjected to structural damage, is involved in an
overturn incident, or is in any way altered by welding,
bending, drilling, or cutting. A damaged ROPS should be
replaced, not reused.
The seat is part of the ROPS safety zone. Replace only
with John Deere seat approved for your tractor.
Any alteration of the ROPS must be approved by the
manufacturer.
DX,ROPS3 -19-12OCT11-1/1

Use Foldable ROPS and Seat Belt Properly

Avoid crushing injury or death during rollover.
• If this machine is equipped with a foldable rollover
protective structure (ROPS), keep the ROPS in the fully
extended and locked position. USE a seat belt when

TS1729 —UN—24MAY13
you operate with a ROPS in the fully extended position.
- Hold the latch and pull the seat belt across the body.
- Insert the latch into the buckle. Listen for a click.
- Tug on the seat belt to make sure that the belt is
securely fastened.
- Snug the seat belt across the hips.
• If this machine is operated with the ROPS folded (for
example, to enter a low building), drive with extreme
caution. DO NOT USE a seat belt with the ROPS folded.

Operating the Tractor Safely
You can reduce the risk of accidents by following these
simple precautions:
• Use your tractor only for jobs it was designed to perform,
for example, pushing, pulling, towing, actuating, and
carrying a variety of interchangeable equipment
designed to conduct agricultural work.
• Operators must be mentally and physically capable of
accessing the operator’s station and/or controls, and
operating the machine properly and safely.
• Never operate machine when distracted, fatigued,
or impaired. Proper machine operation requires the
operator’s full attention and awareness.
• This tractor is not intended to be used as a recreational
vehicle.
• Read this operator’s manual before operating the
tractor and follow operating and safety instructions in
the manual and on the tractor.
• Follow operation and ballasting instructions found in the
operator’s manual for your implements/attachments,
such as front loaders.
• Follow the instructions outlined in the operator’s
manual of any mounted or trailed machinery or trailer.
Do not operate a combination of tractor-machine or
tractor-trailer unless all instructions have been followed.
• Make sure that everyone is clear of machine, attached
equipment, and work area before starting engine or
operation.
• Stay clear of the three-point linkage and pickup hitch (if
equipped) when controlling them.
• Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from power-driven
parts.
Driving Concerns
• Never get on or off a moving tractor.
• Complete any required training prior to operating
vehicle.
• Keep all children and nonessential personnel off tractors
and all equipment.
• Never ride on a tractor unless seated on a John Deere
approved seat with a seat belt.
• Keep all shields/guards in place.
• Use appropriate visual and audible signals when
operating on public roads.
• Move to side of road before stopping.
• Reduce speed when turning, applying individual brakes,
or operating around hazards on rough ground or steep
slopes.
• Stability degrades when attached implements are at
high position.
• Couple brake pedals together for road travel.
05-8
• Pump brakes when stopping on slippery surfaces.
• Regularly clean fenders and fender valances (mud
flaps) if installed. Remove dirt before driving on public
roadways.
Heated and Ventilated Operator’s Seat
• An overheated seat heater can cause a burn injury
or damage to the seat. To reduce the risk of burns,
use caution when using the seat heater for extended
periods of time, especially if the operator cannot feel
temperature change or pain to the skin. Do not place
objects on the seat, such as a blanket, cushion, cover,
or similar item, which can cause the seat heater to
overheat.
Towing Loads
• Be careful when towing and stopping heavy loads.
Stopping distance increases with speed and weight
of towed loads, and on slopes. Towed loads with or
without brakes that are too heavy for the tractor or are
towed too fast can cause loss of control.
• Consider the total weight of the equipment and its load.
• Hitch towed loads only to approved couplings to avoid
rearward upset.
Parking and Leaving the Tractor
• Before dismounting, shut off SCVs, disengage PTO,
stop engine, lower implements/attachments to ground,
place implement/attachment control devices in neutral,
and securely engage park mechanism, including the
park pawl and park brake. In addition, if the tractor is
left unattended, remove key.
• Leaving transmission in gear with engine off will NOT
prevent the tractor from moving.
• Never go near an operating PTO or an operating
implement.
• Wait for all movement to stop before servicing
machinery.
Common Accidents
Unsafe operation or misuse of the tractor can result in
accidents. Be alert to hazards of tractor operation.
The most common accidents involving tractors are:
• Tractor rollover
• Collisions with motor vehicles
• Improper starting procedures
• Entanglement in PTO shafts
• Falling from tractor
• Crushing and pinching during hitching

Limited Use in Forestry Operation
The intended use of John Deere tractors when used
in forestry operations is limited to tractor-specific
applications like transport, stationary work such as log
splitting, propulsion, or operating implements with PTO,
hydraulic, or electrical systems.
These are applications where normal operation does not
present a risk of falling or penetrating objects. Any forestry
applications beyond these applications, such as forwarding
and loading, requires fitment of application-specific

Service Front-Wheel Drive Tractor Safely

When servicing front-wheel drive tractor with the rear
wheels supported off the ground and rotating wheels by
engine power, always support front wheels in a similar
manner. Loss of electrical power or transmission hydraulic
system pressure will engage the front driving wheels, L124515 —UN—06AUG94

Decommissioning — Proper Recycling and

Disposal of Fluids and Components
Safety and environmental stewardship measures must
be taken into account when decommissioning a machine
and/or component. These measures include the following:

• Use appropriate tools and personal protective
equipment such as clothing, gloves, face shields or
glasses, during the removal or handling of objects and
materials.
• Follow instructions for specialized components.
• Release stored energy by lowering suspended machine
elements, relaxing springs, disconnecting the battery
or other electrical power, and releasing pressure in
hydraulic components, accumulators, and other similar
systems.
• Minimize exposure to components which may have
residue from agricultural chemicals, such as fertilizers
and pesticides. Handle and dispose of these
components appropriately.
• Carefully drain engines, fuel tanks, radiators, hydraulic
cylinders, reservoirs, and lines before recycling
components. Use leak-proof containers when draining
fluids. Do not use food or beverage containers.
• Do not pour waste fluids onto the ground, down a drain,
or into any water source.
• Observe all national, state, and local laws, regulations,
or ordinances governing the handling or disposal of
waste fluids (example: oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid);
TS1133 —UN—15APR13
filters; batteries; and, other substances or parts.
Burning of flammable fluids or components in other than
specially designed incinerators may be prohibited by law
and could result in exposure to harmful fumes or ashes.
• Service and dispose of air conditioning systems
appropriately. Government regulations may require
a certified service center to recover and recycle air
conditioning refrigerants which could damage the
atmosphere if allowed to escape.
• Evaluate recycling options for tires, metal, plastic,
glass, rubber, and electronic components which may be
recyclable, in part or completely.
• Contact your local environmental or recycling center, or
your John Deere dealer for information on the proper
way to recycle or dispose of waste.

Use Draft Control

The rockshaft may be equipped with variable draft control
system.
Use draft load sensing when:
• Operating with a fully mounted implement in hill and

PY9948 —UN—25AUG10
swale terrain. The implement will raise and lower to
follow the ground contours while maintaining a nearly
constant depth.
• Operating in varying soil conditions. The implement is
raised slightly to get through tough spots so you do not
have to shift to a lower gear.
Draft control lever (B) controls amount of load required
before hitch responds. With lever placed fully forward to
the position marked “off” (C), there is no draft sensing.
Placing the lever toward the rear position reduces the
amount of draft load required to override the position
setting set by the position control lever (A) and raise the
rockshaft.
Draft sensitivity ranges can be changed by repositioning
the center link. (See Position Center Link in this section
for additional information.)
For draft load sensing operation:
• Initially place position control lever (A) in its fully
rearward position and the draft control lever (B) in the
fully forward (least draft) position.
• With tractor moving, push position control lever (A)
forward to set implement operating depth. Set position
control lever stop (D) so control lever can be brought
back to the same position. The operating depth set-up
will prevent the rockshaft from lowering all the way
when the tractor begins to slip. Then pull draft sensing

M47169 —19—29JAN92
lever (B) rearward until desired draft sensing sensitivity
is obtained.
• The position control lever (A) can also be raised slightly
to override the draft control setting to help get through
slippery spots without getting stuck.
• The position control lever (A) can be moved fully
rearward to raise the hitch at the end of the field.

Plan for Maximum Productivity
Proper ballasting is an important factor in tractor
performance. maximum productivity can be achieved only
if tractor weight is appropriate for the job.
John Deere FMO (Fundamentals of Machine Operations)
Tractors, discusses methods of determining correct
Use Proper Ballast
The amount of ballast required and especially the locations
of ballast weights depend very much on type of implement
being used and operating speed. Ballasting is required to:
1. Assure front axle carries sufficient weight for steering
security and stability with the field draft loads as well
as transport in field and on road.
2. Provide sufficient traction to pull efficiently high draft
loads.
Select Ballast Carefully
Match amount of ballast needed for each job. What is
right for one job may be wrong for another job. Ballast for
traction and stability.
CAUTION: When determining front and rear axle
ballast, ensure that permissible axle loads and
maximum permissible machine weight (including
mounted implements) are not exceeded (see
Specifications Section in Operator’s Manual).
Comply with local regulations regarding
installation and maximum permissible number
of weights. In order to maintain steerability, at
least 20% of unladen mass must be on front
axle. Unladen mass is mass of tractor without
special equipment, attachments, trailer, or ballast,

3. Provide proper fore/aft balance to minimize occurrence
of a power hop in MFWD tractors.
4. Assure rear axle carries sufficient weight for traction,
braking, and stability when a loader or other front
implement is attached to front of tractor.
5. When changing from one implement or attachment to
another it is necessary to reconfigure ballast on tractor.

but with hydraulic oil and lubricants, a full fuel
tank and an operator weighing 75 kg.
CAUTION: Use suitable lifting tackle/hoists when
handling weights. Safety and performance of
your tractor depend on correct ballasting of front
axle (front weights) and rear axle (wheel weights,
filling tires with liquid ballast, pick-up weight).
Factors determining amount of ballast:
• Soil surface-loose or firm
• Type of implement-integral/semi-integral or towed
• Travel speed-slow or fast
• Tractor power output-partial or full load
• Tires-single, oversize, or dual
SD74272,0000216 -19-23APR15-1/1
Rather than weighing tractor down to pull heavy loads, try
to reduce load. Pulling a lighter load at a higher speed is
more economical and more efficient.

Ballast should be limited by either tyre capacity or tractor
capacity. Each tyre has a recommended carrying capacity
which should not be exceeded. (See Wheels, Tires and
Treads section.) If a greater amount of weight is needed
for traction, a larger tyre should be considered.

Use Liquid Weight

CAUTION: Installing liquid ballast requires special

equipment and training. Have the job done by
your John Deere dealer or a tyre service store.

IMPORTANT: NEVER fill tyre to more than 75% full.

More solution would leave too little air space to
absorb shocks. Damage to tyre could occur.

A solution of water and calcium chloride provides safe,

economical ballast. Used properly, it will not damage
tires, tubes, or rims.
Use calcium chloride to prevent water from freezing. A
mixture of 0.6 kg per liter (5.0 lb of calcium chloride per
gal) will not freeze solid above —45°C (—53°F).

Service Tires Safely
Explosive separation of at tire and rim parts can cause
serious injury or death.
Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper
equipment and experience to perform the job.
Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate
the tires above the recommended pressure. Never weld
or heat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat can cause
an increase in air pressure resulting in a tire explosion.
Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension
hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and
NOT in front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety
cage if available.
Check wheels for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged
rims or missing lug bolts and nuts.

Check Tire Inflation Pressure

Check tires daily for damage or noticeably low pressure.
At least every 100 hours of operation, check inflation
pressure with a gauge. Use an accurate gauge having 10
kPa (0.1 bar) (1 psi) graduations.
If tires contain liquid ballast, use a special air-water gauge
and measure with valve stem at bottom.
NOTE: When furrow plowing or during hillside operation,
pressure can be increased 28 kPa (0.28 bar) (4 psi)
ABOVE maximum to prevent wrinkling or buckling.
IMPORTANT: Always check inflation pressure with
an accurate gauge to prevent over-inflation.
Over-inflation reduces performance and
increases strain of both and rim.
NOTE: Following inflation information applies to both front
and rear tires and Tire Inflation Pressure Chart.
/vehicle system. Correctly inflated radial tires will show
a large deflection of the sidewall or “cheeks”. This is
normal and will not hurt the if the inflation pressure
is maintained.
3. Inflation pressures less than 80 kPa (12 psi) should
be monitored regularly because of the increased risk
of low pressure air leaks (especially due to leaking
valve cores).
4. Tractors operating on steep side slopes should
increase inflation pressures 28 kPa (4 psi) above the
values listed to compensate for lateral weight transfer.
5. Tires run as singles in high traction conditions
sometimes experience bead slip if the bead was not
fully seated or if too much lubricant was used to mount
the . Increasing the inflation pressure will compensate
for this condition but will not cause reduced traction.
Consult your dealer if this problem occurs.

Fuel Saving Tips
The consumption of fuel and lubricating oil can be reduced
by the following practices—
• Do not allow fuel leak. Ensure that the connections are
adequately tight.
• Excessive inflation pressure in tyres and worn out tyres
cause wheel slippage resulting in wastage of fuel.
• Engine will not achieve optimum working temperature
if the thermostat valve is removed and will consume
more fuel.
• Less or no clutch pedal free play will result in slipping
or premature failure of clutch and will result in wastage
of fuel.
• Use matching trailer for transportation. Ensure proper
hitch application. Never overload the trailer.
• Get your tractor regularly serviced by Authorized John
Deere Dealer.

Diesel Fuel
Consult your local fuel distributor for properties of the
diesel fuel available in your area.
In general, diesel fuels are blended to satisfy the low
temperature requirements of the geographical area in
which they are marketed.
Diesel fuels specified to EN 590 or ASTM D975 are
recommended. Renewable diesel fuel produced by
hydrotreating animal fats and vegetable oils is basically
identical to petroleum diesel fuel. Renewable diesel that
meets EN 590, ASTM D975, or EN 15940 is acceptable
for use at all percentage mixture levels.
Required Fuel Properties
In all cases, the fuel shall meet the following properties:
Cetane number of 40 minimum. Cetane number greater
than 47 is preferred, especially for temperatures below
–20 °C (–4 °F) or elevations above 1675 m (5500 ft.).
Cloud Point should be below the expected lowest ambient
temperature or Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFPP) should
be a maximum 10°C (18°F) below the fuel cloud point.
Fuel lubricity should pass a maximum scar diameter of
0.52 mm as measured by ASTM D6079 or ISO 12156-1.
A maximum scar diameter of 0.45 mm is preferred.
Diesel fuel quality and sulfur content must comply with
all existing emissions regulations for the area in which
the engine operates. DO NOT use diesel fuel with sulfur
content greater than 10 000 mg/kg (10 000 ppm).
Materials such as copper, lead, zinc, tin, brass and
bronze should be avoided in fuel handling, distribution
and storage equipment as these metals can catalyze fuel
oxidation reactions which can lead to fuel system deposits
and plugged fuel filters.
E-Diesel fuel
DO NOT use E-Diesel (Diesel fuel and ethanol blend).
Use of E-Diesel fuel in any John Deere machine may void
the machine warranty.
CAUTION: Avoid severe injury or death due to the
fire and explosion risk from using E-Diesel fuel.

Sulfur Content for Interim Tier 4, Final Tier 4, Stage III
A and B, Stage IV, and Stage V Engines Above 560 kW
• Use ONLY diesel fuel with a maximum of 500 mg/kg
(500 ppm) sulfur content.
Sulfur Content for Interim Tier 4, Final Tier 4, Stage
III B, Stage IV Engines, and Stage V Engines
• Use ONLY ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel with a
maximum of 15 mg/kg (15 ppm) sulfur content.
Sulfur Content for Tier 3 and Stage III A Engines
• Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content less than 1000
mg/kg (1000 ppm) is RECOMMENDED.
• Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content 1000—2000 mg/kg
(1000—2000 ppm) REDUCES the oil and filter change
interval.
• BEFORE using diesel fuel with sulfur content greater
than 2000 mg/kg (2000 ppm), contact your John Deere
dealer.
Sulfur Content for Tier 2 and Stage II Engines
• Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content less than 2000
mg/kg (2000 ppm) is RECOMMENDED.
• Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content 2000—5000 mg/kg
(2000—5000 ppm) REDUCES the oil and filter change
interval.1
• BEFORE using diesel fuel with sulfur content greater
than 5000 mg/kg (5000 ppm), contact your John Deere
dealer.
Sulfur Content for Other Engines
• Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content less than 5000
mg/kg (5000 ppm) is RECOMMENDED.
• Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content greater than 5000
mg/kg (5000 ppm) REDUCES the oil and filter change
interval.
IMPORTANT: Do not mix used diesel engine oil or any
other type of lubricating oil with diesel fuel.
Improper fuel additive usage may cause damage
on fuel injection equipment of diesel engines.
