John deere 550 dozer advice | Heavy Equipment Forums
2020年1月11日 · Looking for a little advice on a jd 550 dozer that I'm thinking about buying. I was told it's a 1979-1980 model with 4k hours. The owner said it threw a rod shortly after he bought it. He said engine was replaced with a reman engine from jd and it has 700hrs on it. I have never owned a jd dozer so I'm looking for opinions about them.
JD 450 or 550 - Heavy Equipment Forums
2011年2月13日 · The 550 has a little more weight and hp than the 450 but uses the same final drives which is always the weakest point on a dozer. The 450 can push fill, grade and landscape. The 550, D4 and definitely the D5 is getting a little big for landscaping IMHO. Although the 450 is a trim dozer since you are pushing downhill you should be fine.
550,650,or 700 - Heavy Equipment Forums
2010年11月18日 · Chances are if you have a trailer large enough for the 550, it will also haul a 650 just fine. If you are ok with a 6 roller bottom, for the money I would go for the 550J LT over the 650J LT. IF you want a 7 roller bottom for better grading balance I …

JD 550G vs. Cat D4? - Heavy Equipment Forums
2012年7月13日 · Which d4, a 550g will hold its own with a d4c or g, but a d4h or simular hightrack will eat it. Is the 550 the usual direct drive model, they take some gettin used to but are more powerfull than a torque converted model. For me it would come down to dealer suport, machine overall condition, and price.

John Deere 550G LGP trans problem | Heavy Equipment Forums
2014年1月20日 · That turned into a couple of days. Of course the STOP light came on and no hydraulic pressure. I dragged the front of the dozer to point down hill and restarted it and all was well. BTW, dragging a 20k dozer with the brakes on is not easy. Bob

However, once it warms up after 10 -15 minutes it gets slower and slower and weaker and weaker, especially when shifting from forward to reverse or vice versa. It gets so bad that it will...
