John Deere 997 Extra Hydraulic Notes
| Hydraulic flow note | For hydraulic work, the key number on the John Deere 997 is 12.5 GPM implement flow; that points toward normal loader use, small hydraulic implements and general utility work. |
|---|---|
| Rear remotes / SCV note |
|
| Hydraulic system type note | System type matters on the John Deere 997: closed-center pressure-flow compensated affects how hydraulic flow and pressure are delivered to valves and implements. |
| Hydraulic fluid capacity note | The John Deere 997’s hydraulic fluid capacity is listed as 12.8 qt (3.2 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.
