Hello from Germany from a X595

[wesso]

Hello,

I just want to say hello from Germany.
My Name is Stefan, i am 40 years old, electric engineer, and got yesterday my (used) John Deere X595.
The JD is from 2006 and has 300hours on it.

I hope i didnt miss the "hello" Thread, and its ok, that I opened a new Thread!? And by the way: Sorry for my bad "School english". Its Long time ago, that I spoke this language...

Attached my Pictures.

First question, which I couldnt find here and in my documentation:

What is the Maximum load from the front and rear axle? Reason: I dont want to break something, and when I work with the loader I want to install a weight box at the back of the tractor.

I am not a professional mechanic, but I have some expiriences from my Deutz DX80 tractor, and my VW Golf MK2.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Stefan

Guten Morgen from the US!

Great looking tractors.

No need to post in the 'Hello' thread.

Here's a link to the tractor data for the x595, Click Here.

It looks like the capacity is 365 pounds?

Hallo Mike,

thanks for your reply!!

I know this side, and have printed every page. This 365 Pounds belongs to the Loader, as I understand.

But is has no value for axle. In Germany we have Maximum load from the axle, specially for tractors.

I thought I can find it in the Manual, but no success.

I assumed loader capacity = front axle capacity. Perhaps an incorrect assumption.

Your English is great. No apology needed at all. :thumbsup:

In my opinion, you won't be able to overload that axle, as long as you keep the right air pressure in the tires and they are not pressed flat under load.

Very nice rig you have there. Enjoy!

Hello,

thanks for your welcome!!!!

I hope I can find some answers here, because JD Lawn tractors are not very common here in Germany. So no Forum/ Community at all..:-((.

But maybe it will be a good Chance to prepare my english;-))

Great looking machine. I love the clamshell MCS. As beenthere indicated, the load rating of the tires you have is probably the max load you should expect to handle. The tires will probably fail before the axles are damaged. Due to the standard hydraulics of the X595, the standard implement loads are below the factory tire load ratings.
