John Deere 2255 Tractor Parts

The John Deere 2255 was introduced in 1986 as part of the '55' series of utility tractors, replacing earlier models and offering improved performance and features. Production continued until 1988. The heart of the 2255 is a Yanmar 4T39 4-cylinder diesel engine, producing approximately 66 horsepower with a displacement of 143.7 cubic inches. This diesel engine provided good fuel efficiency and reliable power. It featured a gear-type transmission with 8 forward and 4 reverse speeds, providing a range of options for different field conditions. The PTO delivers 58 horsepower at 540 RPM. Its hydraulic system offered a flow rate of approximately 11.2 gallons per minute, supporting two rear remotes. The 3-point hitch is a Category II, capable of lifting around 3263 lbs, enabling the use of a wide variety of implements. The 2255 was commonly used for row crop operations, hay production, livestock management, and light tillage. What set the 2255 apart from other tractors in the John Deere lineup was its compact size, affordability, and balance of power and maneuverability, making it an excellent choice for smaller farms and general utility work.
