Front-End Loader John Deere 5085e H240 Loader

[ksluy]

I just purchased a new John Deere 5085e with the H240 Loader. I love the tractor so far but I think the loader lines are to long but the dealer says this is normal. I have had three John Deere's two Kabota's and two New Holland's and I don't remember having the line's this noticeable. What do you think.

They sure look too long to me. I think your dealer is just being lazy.

You might look at this post to compare, it looks like his hose set-up is different than yours

Yes, the pics you have are the old attachment. John Deere did a update and changed the angle of the hookups. I just can't see why that big loop is needed.

I can see the need for some "slack" at the pivot points - but certainly not that much.

The slack is needed for when the loader is removed from the tractor, although the slack appears to be in the wrong place.
