John Deere 524K Compact Loader User Manual


 
SmartShift ensures that gear changes are smooth as silk, regardless of whether
the bucket is empty or fully loaded.
Engine/hydraulic match maintains good boom and bucket power into and out of
the pile. For big loads, even in wet or packed materials.
Optional spin control boosts productivity by improving traction in troublesome
material or underfoot conditions. Reduces tire wear, fuel costs, and operator
fatigue, too.
Responsive steering and full 80-degree articulation increase maneuverability in
tight quarters, for faster cycle times and fewer three-point turns.
Hydraulic system provides only the power required, so there’s no wasted
horsepower or fuel.
Boom-height kick-out and return-to-carry functions help speed production in
repetitive loading applications. On Powerllel-equipped loaders, the touchpad
has two presets for added convenience when frequent attachment changeover
is required.

1. Choose from single-lever joystick or two-
lever fingertip pilot-operated hydraulic
controls. Joystick FNR selector provides
convenient direction and full-range gear
changes. Both include innovative Quick-
Shift feature for pushbutton gear changes,
one gear at a time.
2. Backlit touchpad in the expanded sealed-
switch module controls key-less start and
24 other machine functions. Enables the
operator to adjust boom-height kick-out
and return-to-carry, and activate return-
to-dig from the seat.
3. Programmable clutch cutoff increases
productivity in all kinds of terrain. Simply
select the slope of your dumpsite —
level, small, or steep. Depressing the
brake pedal disconnects the transmission
while maintaining engine speed for fast
boom cycles.
