John Deere STX38 Extra Hydraulic Notes
Hydraulic flow note
The John Deere STX38’s implement flow figure is about 6.5 GPM, so hydraulic attachment choice should be based on flow demand, not horsepower alone.
Hydraulic pressure note
The John Deere STX38’s hydraulic pressure is listed at 1,000 psi, which is lower-pressure; flow still decides attachment speed while pressure affects force.
Rear remotes / SCV note
Rear remotes / SCVs depend on the tractor’s hydraulic package and options.
For hydraulic implements, match the implement to the available hydraulic flow (6.5 GPM), not just the number of remotes.
Check the operator manual or hydraulic package because SCV count can change by year, market and trim package.
Hydraulic system type note
The John Deere STX38’s hydraulic system type is closed-center, which is built for higher-pressure hydraulic control than a basic open-center setup.
Hydraulic fluid capacity note
Hydraulic fluid capacity on the John Deere STX38 is 3 qt (0.8 gal), but the correct oil type and fill/check procedure should still come from the official manual.
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.
