The 520M, 540M, and H310 Loaders can be configured with a single-point hydraulic connection that also incorporates the connection point for any electrical needs. To disconnect the hydraulic connection between the loader and the tractor, it is necessary to relieve the hydraulic system oil pressure on the tractor.
Quick-Coupler connection is also an option.
John Deere loaders are easily removed and reinstalled on tractors without tools. The parking system allows removing or attaching the loader to the tractor in minutes without the need for tools.
Refer to the operator manual for complete step-by-step procedure and specific information.
An abbreviated example is listed below with some images.
To remove the loader
Loader raised to allow for parking stands to be lowered and locked into place for parking
Lowering Parking Stands: Parking stand pin is used to secure stand in up position during loader usage as well as lower position when being removed (parked).
With bucket tilted apply slight down pressure to the loader boom.
Place the locking pin into the open position for loader to allow for the loader to be removed (parking pins are designed to stay on the loader; no need to be removed completely
Loader shown removed / parked
A hydraulic shut-off valve is included with the M- and H-Series Ag Loaders to ensure the loader does not lower suddenly. For example, this allows the boom to be locked out when someone is required to be located under the loader boom for service work on the tractor. It should not be used for extended periods of time unless an appropriate support stand is also utilized.
An enhancement to the loader is the suspension system. A great level of loader productivity is achieved with the LSS.
Performance
NOTE: Check bale-handling capability of tractor before use.
Cost of ownership
Reasons for turning LSS off include:
The switch is conveniently located in the operator station to avoid having to exit the operator station to manually move the handle on the LSS.LSS can also be ordered with a manual shutoff. Depending on the tractor/loader model, the accumulator is located in different places.
On the 5 Series Tractors, the accumulator is mounted near the inside of the rear right wheel.

This general-purpose bucket can be used in numerous applications.
All compatible John Deere Loaders use the same five-tine, pin-on grapple. The advantages of this grapple are:
High-performance operators will choose the five-tine grapple for its increased durability and load-carrying capacity. Advantages include:
The grapple is equipped with twin cylinders to provide excellent clamping force.
NOTE: The center tine of the five-tine grapple is slightly off center to avoid contact with the placement of optional digging teeth.NOTE: The grapple is not compatible with materials or high-volume buckets.
The bale grapple bucket is a complete solution ideal for full loads of silage, handling bales, or cleaning up debris or manure.
Materials buckets may be used for loading dirt, gravel, feed, and light materials as well as scraping, digging, and other general-purpose tasks.
NOTE: Materials buckets are not compatible with replaceable cutting edges or digging teeth.
The high-volume bucket is intended for use with lighter-density, high-volume materials. The bucket capacity makes this an effective tool for handling snow, wood shavings, and other loose materials.
The skid steer attachment carrier allows the use of skid steer-type attachments. One person can quickly change attachments without the use of tools by simply rolling the attachment back, lifting the levers, and then rolling the attachment forward and lowering to the ground.
For those who frequently scrape on concrete, a replaceable cutting edge will greatly extend the life of the bucket:
The brush guard is designed for operators who require added protection against debris from damaging the expensive-to-replace front grille or lights.
NOTE: Not compatible with front hitch.
The hood guard’s basic function is to:
It is highly recommended to purchase a front weight bracket when using a loader. The hood guard is designed to be slightly rearward of the front weight. This is so that the front weight is the first point of contact against lower stationary objects.

The loader hoses are connected to the mid-tractor selective control valves (SCVs).
The H240, H260, H310, H340, and H360 Loaders feature two-function quick-couplers in base machine. To disconnect the hydraulic connection between the loader and the tractor, it is necessary to relieve the hydraulic system oil pressure on the tractor.
The H240, H260, H310, H340, and H360 Loaders can be equipped with three-function quick-couplers. Hoses will be installed in the boom arm and just the couplers will need to be assembled along with the third-function bracket and oil line. To disconnect the hydraulic connection between the loader and the tractor, it is necessary to relieve the hydraulic system oil pressure on the tractor.
The 520M, H240, 540M, H260, and H310 Loaders feature a single-point hydraulic connection that also incorporates the connection point for any electrical needs as well. To disconnect the hydraulic connection between the loader and the tractor, it is necessary to relieve the hydraulic system oil pressure on the tractor.
The 520M Loader has a diverter kit for field installation that allows for third-function usage on 5E 3-Cylinder Tractor model year 2018 and newer. This kit is a complete solution for a two-function 520M Loader to become third-function operational. The diverter kit is installed under the loader torque tube assembly to prevent damage and debris collection. A third-function joystick allows for 2 function + 1 function during operation. The operator engages the third function on the joystick which sends a signal to the diverter to switch hydraulic flow away from a second function and activates third function. The previous function will no longer be operational until the third is released.
Tractor dual mid-valve is a required option for the diverter to be compatible.
NOTE: Will require either a factory- or field-installed tractor dual mid-valve kit. Field-installed bundles are BSJ10262 (dual mid-valve kit with two-function joystick) or BSJ10346 (dual mid-valve kit with third-function joystick).
NOTE: If installing a diverter kit on a tractor with a field-installed dual mid-valve (bundle BSJ10346), the third-function joystick (LVA13698) is already included. Only order BXX10199 or BXX10198.
NOTE: If installing a diverter kit on a tractor with a factory-installed dual mid-valve or field-installed dual mid-valve (bundle BSJ10262), order diverter kit BXX10199 or BXX10198 and joystick LVA13698 from Parts.
Loader stationary fenders are highly recommended for those operating in conditions where the front axle will be in full oscillation and turn frequently or where tight turns are made while maneuvering through gates or obstacles that will catch tractor axle-mounted fenders.
The loader stationary fenders still provide coverage for debris from the tire, but they do not protrude to become damaged in operation. The fenders can be removed to enable better access for servicing as well.
The switch is conveniently located in the operator station to avoid having to exit the operator station to manually move the handle on the LSS.LSS can also be ordered with a manual shutoff. Depending on the tractor/loader model, the accumulator is located in different places. On the H180, the accumulator is mounted outside the bottom of the mounting frame. On the 5 Series Tractors, the accumulator is mounted near the inside of the rear right wheel. On 6 Series Tractors and larger, it is mounted in between the hydraulic connection and the mounting frame.
Mounting frames are designed to evenly distribute forces during loader operation. Hardware is accessible to torque to the correct specifications.
Digging teeth can be added to heavy-duty buckets for easier digging in hard ground or for breaking loose hard-packed materials such as manure or silage. Digging teeth are not compatible with replaceable cutting edges.
