John Deere 5500 Extra Hydraulic Notes
| Hydraulic flow note | The John Deere 5500 should be matched to implements that fit its 18.2 GPM hydraulic-flow range. |
|---|---|
| Hydraulic pressure note | The John Deere 5500’s hydraulic pressure is listed at 2,683 psi, which is strong tractor hydraulic pressure; flow still decides attachment speed while pressure affects force. |
| Rear remotes / SCV note |
|
| Hydraulic system type note | The John Deere 5500 uses a open-center hydraulic setup, so compatibility depends on both the attachment and valve configuration. |
| Hydraulic fluid capacity note | The John Deere 5500’s hydraulic fluid capacity is listed as 10 gal; check the operator manual before servicing because capacity can change with transmission, hydraulic options and market. |
Official information note
Mistakes do happen. Hydraulic flow, pump flow, implement flow, pressure, rear remote / SCV setup and fluid capacity can change by year, market, transmission, pump option, loader package and hydraulic package. Please check the operator manual and official deere.com website for official information.
