Features

Single-point hydraulic connection on 6 Series Tractors (closed position)

The H310 Loader can be ordered 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.

Concealed oil lines through boom arm

Oil lines routed through the boom arm

Oil lines routed through the torque tube

Over time, increased width in tractor hoods have caused issues with available space for running traditional oil lines of a loader along the boom, making them more susceptible to damage.

To improve this situation, the oil lines have been routed through the boom arm and the torque tube, improving line protection and the appearance of the loader.

Parking stands

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.

To remove or park the loader, apply slight down pressure to the loader boom with the bucket dumped at approximately a 30-degree angle. With the tractor in park, lower the parking stands and place the mast pins in the open position.

Removing or parking the loader

Parking stand in stored position

Removing parking stand

Mast pin in the closed position

Rotating mast pin to the open position

Utilizing the boom circuit with the tractor in neutral, rotate the mast forward until the mast has rotated past the pin location on the mounting frame by extending the lift cylinder. Now using the bucket circuit, roll back the bucket until the mast is removed from the pocket and will clear the tires.

Mast pin in the open position

With the tractor in park, shut the engine off and relieve the hydraulic pressure as indicated for the tractor (rotating the joystick). Disconnect or open the single-point hydraulic connector (or remove couplers if no single point is installed).

Disconnect/open single-point hydraulic connection

Disconnect/open single-point hydraulic connections

Store the loader half of the single-point connector or hoses, and back away from the loader.

Single-point hydraulics disconnected

Hydraulic shut-off valve (open position)

Hydraulic shut-off valve (closed position)

A hydraulic shut-off valve is included with the M & R-Series Utility & 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.

540M LOADER Front End Loaders For Tractor FAQs

How much can the John Deere 540M loader lift?

The 540M reaches a 141 in. maximum lift height and lifts 3,027 lb at the pivot at full height, with 100 in. of clearance with the bucket dumped. Those figures are measured with a mechanical self-leveling 540M on a 6135E tractor.

How do I remove the John Deere 540M loader from my tractor?

Parking stands are integrated on the 540M, and the loader comes off or goes back on in minutes without tools. With the bucket dumped at about a 30-degree angle and the tractor in park, you lower the stands, open the mast pins and back away once the hydraulics are disconnected.

Are the oil lines on the John Deere 540M protected?

Yes. The oil lines are routed through the boom arm and the torque tube, which protects them from damage and gives the loader a cleaner look.

Can I lock the John Deere 540M boom for service?

Yes. A hydraulic shut-off valve keeps the loader from lowering suddenly, so the boom can be locked out during brief service work under it. For longer periods, use an appropriate support stand as well.

Where can I buy genuine parts for my John Deere 540M loader?

You can shop genuine John Deere 540M loader parts on Koenig Marketplace, including hydraulic parts, ground engaging parts and crop handling unit parts. Choose same-day delivery from a nearby Koenig store or pick up in store. Our trained technicians across Ohio and Indiana can also handle your 540M's maintenance and repairs.

Yes. You can apply for financing from this page, and our team can review John Deere Financial options and any current offers with you. Request a quote and we will help you match the 540M to your tractor.
