Accumulator Question, just got a Loader Suspension System.

Zebrafive · Nov 12, 2012

I just bought a LSS (Loader Suspension Systen) for the JD 640 loader on the JD 6415. It's missing the switch, but I can order one from the dealer.

My question, can I have the dealer charge the accumulator with Nitrogen, before I install the system on the tractor? I know it comes without nitrogen for shipping safety. Any reason I can not, or should not, have it charged before installation? Much easier to bring the accumulator in than the tractor.

Absolutely you can take the accumulator in. We charge them all the time when people carry them in.

Update. Had the local JD dealer charge the accumulator with Nitrogen. Cost was $71.55. Service Manager said it was due to the time required. I thought it would be a lot less, but at least he gave me another John Deere hat.

I ordered the switch for $27, that's all I need to have everything to install it.
