One of the best JD vids on here man. Well done and thank you for the details 👍🏼

Thanks Timothy, I appreciate it and thanks for watching. I'm not a great guy for reading through instructions, so I like watching videos to see how to do things and have made some of my own. Of course, reading the instructions is good too, sometimes there's technical knowledge that you can't find in videos.

Thanks for the helpful video. I just bought a 445 with a 40 loader on it and will be moving it over to a 455. It's definitely a little more involved than the newer 45 loader. This video clears up and confusion 👍

Thanks man, watching your 45 loader and knowing about the 40, they seem similar to me, but you having dealt with both would know better. Thanks for watching.

I had a 455, loved it, but when I looked into putting on a front end loader, the cost and hassle, I just opted to buy up to a 1025R. More balanced and more power and attachment options made it an easy decision.

I have another video, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bZ57p8agu8-zkp8.html, that kind of made me get the 1023E. I love the super Garden Tractor segment, but Deere has pushed with out. My 1023E was $11,000 with loader brand new, add the 54" deck and Mulch kit and I was $13,300, I couldn't get a X758 for that and that was without a rear PTO, 3 pth and loader. So yeah,, in a way Deere forced me into the SCUT market. But I still own a few Deere L&G because they are still cool.

The one series is basically the new garden tractor of the past.
@FloridaDeere3 жыл бұрын
@@jbmortensen Yes, in a way with the 1 series, there's no need for the old Super GT's, but people still buy them I guess because the 1 series are quite a bit heavier than the X700 series. There dimensions are physically similar though 55" versus 57" wheelbase, etc etc

With a lot of patience, luck and a fair bit of money. Be checking Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace and any other site that may list ag or lawn equipment. You can also check out CTC Loaders. They are an aftermarket supplier that makes loaders that are very compatiable with the above mentioned tractors and are simialr to the 40 and 45's. They are pricey, but honestly, they aren't any more than a used FEL unless you find a screaming deal and those are VERY few and far between. They come with a lifetime warranty, but on the flip side, I have heard their customer service isn't super, but I don't have any direct experience with them. I only mention them because finding a 40 or 45 is super tough to do and they are premium prices right now. Thanks for watching, I hope that helps.

What kind of work can you realistically do with a JD 445 (gas) and 40 Loader? Do they just carry gravel and mulch? Would you be able to dig out a plot for a gravel driveway? Trying to decide if these are worth it.
@FloridaDeere3 жыл бұрын
It was worth it for me. I mowed with my 445 as well. Also once I had the loader, I kept finding uses for it that I didn't even know existed, ripping fence posts out of the ground, lifting and transporting stuff, making other things I used to do with my body easier. Certainly it won't be for everyone. I found the loader very capable, but there may be a time here or there that you're gonna be wishing you had 4X4 and maybe a low range. I didn't know that though until I got the 1023E and used it in dirt and gravel. The 445/40 did fine and usually everything I asked of it. I will say I can ask a lot more out of the 1023E with the low range and 4X4. But it was also a lot more expensive than a 445 and 40 FEL. But yes, you can do some digging, but remember a loader isn't really a digging tool, other than scraping the surface. Thanks for watching.

Also, how many shims did you need to boost the pressure?
@FloridaDeere2 жыл бұрын
I used two little shims so it upped the pressure from 1000psi to 1150psi. They make a large and a small shim, or I should say thick and thin. Allegedly you can jack the pressure up to 1500psi, but no need to get crazy, plus, lifting additional weight over a certain would create a requirement for more ballast, stress more parts and so on and so forth. Thanks for watching.

@@billmccarthy1581 Yes that is a different rod than stock because it is much taller. You know since it has to go over the relief valve, which is crazy tall. I hope that helps. If you look at the video at 1:52, you can see a good shot of the rod and tall relief valve. It's about 2" taller.

@@FloridaDeere do you remember the part number for the relief valve?
@FloridaDeere Жыл бұрын
@@freeman48083 I do not, but I did research it a little, you may have come upon the same info. It appears it used to be AM121248, but on Deere sites, it says NLA and transfers to MIA884863, which is a kit. The valve you will need, as well as the new rod that goes across the transmission relief valves for the free wheeling function. I think previously they were about $300 and change together, but now it seems that kit is $463. But I imagine it includes everything. I would go into a John Deere dealer and hit up the parts person, they should be able to help you with that. If not let me know, we have good parts people here. This is the link www.greentractortalk.com/threads/loader-model-40-or-aftermarket-for-4x5-425-445-455-and-transmission-relief-valve.208128/ where I saw the best info. Unfortunately, the 4X5 series is not exactly the same as the X4/5/7 series, so you can't always use the same parts. Thanks for watching, let me know how it works out.
