2015 John Deere H240

H240 Utility Tractor Loader

The H240 Loader offers 5E Series Tractor operators a durable and reliable loader for moderate-duty work. It is available in self-leveling and non-self leveling configurations and includes a loader suspension system for improved productivity. Quik-Park™ stands make it easy to attach and remove without tools. And concealed oil lines improve visibility while reducing the potential for damage.

Features may include:

Loader suspension system (LSS) to enhance the ride

  • An enhancement to the loader is the suspension system. A great level of loader productivity is achieved with the LSS.
  • An accumulator charged with nitrogen and connected to the head-end lift cylinder hose through a T-fitting provides shock absorption
  • The cylinders move in and out to allow the boom to float
  • Bales can be transported more efficiently from one end of the field to the other over frozen, hard-packed, or rutted terrain.
  • Pallets can be moved easily without sustaining cargo damage
  • Pallets of seed or fertilizer can be carried across a yard without a bag spilling and creating a costly mess
  • Properly ballasted tractor with LSS has increased stability, creating a smoother ride for the operator
    • Single-point hydraulic connection saves time

    The H240, H260, and H310 Loaders 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.

    Boom lockout for easy service

    A hydraulic shut-off valve is included with the 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.

    False rod bucket cylinders improve productivity

    Fast bucket cycle times are important to dump the load from the bucket as quickly as possible, (quite often) in order to be as productive as possible, while completing loading operations. The bucket cylinder design can have a major impact on this cycle time, especially for the mechanical self-leveling loaders.

    Therefore, all MSL H-Series Loaders utilize false rod bucket cylinders. A false rod cylinder has a smaller displacement of oil requirement on the head end of the cylinder, which allows this cylinder to dump much faster than a normal cylinder.

    Loader removal (parking) made easy

    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.
