John Deere 333D Troubleshooting
The
John Deere 333D compact track loader driveline system components: a 186 cu.in
(3L) JD PowerTech E 5030HT five-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a rated
power of 89 hp (66.7 kW), and 2-speed hydrostatic transmission. The hydraulic
system has a pump with a rated flow of 25 gpm (94 lpm). The system pressure is
3450 psi (238 bar). The John Deere 333D is equipped with vertical-lift loader
boom, integral wet-disc brakes, and rubber tracks with steel inserts.
The loader has a boom lift force of 6600 lbs (2995 kg) and bucket
breakout force of 13875 lbs (6300 kg). The rated operating capacity is 3300 lbs
(1500 kg), and tipping load is 9450 lbs (4290 kg).
