2024 John Deere 220R

Operate with ease and efficiency using the optional field-installed mechanical self-leveling (MSL) loader

Whether the operator is new or experienced to loader operations, it requires skill to maintain an even load and reduce the amount of material lost. With the MSL loader offering for 1 Family, 2 Family, 3D, and 3E Tractors, anyone can operate their loader with ease and confidence.  With the MSL loader, you will notice:

• Loader implement will maintain position wherever the loader is lifted to
• Increased lift capacities
• Reduction of material lost during operation
• Easy visibility of the bucket level indicator on the right-hand side of the loader boom to help determine the position of the front implement

This loader is the first of its kind in North America for Compact Utility Tractors and can make any loader task easier and quicker to accomplish.

Quik-Park™ loader mounting system

The 220R loader is designed to easily attach to and detach from the tractor without tools.

The parking stand is attached to the mast and lowers into position by moving the joystick to the raise position once the latches are opened to allow the loader to move to the park position.

Quik-Change attachment carrier

The Quik-Change attachment carrier allows one person to quickly change attachments without the use of tools. Simply roll the attachment back with the boom slightly off the ground, remove the retaining pins, and then roll the attachment forward and lower to the ground.

This CUT Carrier is base equipment on the 120E and 120R loaders.

To connect to another attachment simply align the attachment carrier with the hooks of the attachment, raise the boom for the carrier to engage the hooks of the attachment and rollback the attachment carrier.

Then install the retaining pins and the carrier is ready to work.
This provides a very effective means of changing attachments without having to purchase an option to facilitate changing attachments.

End-of-pin lubrication on cylinder and pivot pins allows easy access for servicing grease points

The pivot pins are made with a unique offset head design to eliminate cross-pins and cotter pins to retain the pin. Instead, the pin is held in place with a nut, which is very simple to install as it eliminates any alignment issues. The offset head of the pin prevents rotation of the pin and reduces pin wear.

A lubrication groove in the cylinder pin provides a path for grease to ensure proper lubrication of the cylinder pin and long life.

End-of-pin lubrication allows easy access for servicing grease points, which are visible from the side of the loader.
