: Thanks for the information on the internal pump. I didn't realize it had this much capacity. I purchased the tractor with the loader and rear mounted PTO pump, so I assumed that the internal pump was not sized large enough. Is there sufficient reserve of hydraulic fluid to run the loader without running low (or out of fluid) ?
I believe the tractors capacity is around 8 gallons and using the loader will add to that. Be warn that if you are currently using a pto pump and plan to use the tractors system, you will be going from a open system to a close system. Find out what brand control valve that you are using on the loader and get a closed center plug for it. If you are familiar with the different system you will be OK. If you don't, you need to get with a John Deere dealer or mechanic to show you how to change it over. I can type you some info, but it would be better if someone showed you.
