2003-2007 JOHN DEERE 524K II WHEEL LOADER

The John Deere 524K II is a robust mid-size wheel loader designed for efficient material handling with a net engine output of 140 hp (104 kW) from the PowerTech PVS 6068 engine, compliant with Tier 4 emissions. It features a powershift transmission and a piston-type hydraulic pump delivering 43.6 gal/min (163 L/min) at 250 psi system pressure. The machine offers a breakout force of 19,974 lbs (9,060 kg) and bucket capacities ranging from 2.8 to 4.1 cubic yards (2 to 3 cubic meters), enabling versatile loading capabilities. Its operational weight is approximately 27,928 lbs (12,668 kg), with a fuel capacity of 58.2 gallons (220 L), hydraulic tank volume of 31.4 gallons (117 L), and transmission fluid capacity of 5.7 gallons (19 L). Dimensional specifications include a height to top of cab of 10.7 ft (3 m), hinge pin maximum height of 12.4 ft (4 m), and a length with bucket on the ground of 24.1 ft (7 m). The loader achieves a maximum dump clearance of 9.1 ft (3 m) and a reach at max lift and dump of 4.8 ft (1.5 m), with a turning circle of 39.8 ft (12 m) and wheelbase of 9.7 ft (3 m). Standard tires measure 20.5 R25. The driveline utilizes a front differential lock with an open rear differential. Braking is handled by hydraulically actuated wet disc service brakes and a wet multi-disc driveline parking brake. An optional ride control system improves operator comfort and stability. The electrical system operates at 24 V with a 100 A alternator. Overall, the 524K II provides reliable performance, high breakout forces, and considerable load capacity for a wide range of construction and industrial applications.
