John Deere 2555 Tractor Parts
2555 parts and accessories
The John Deere 2555 tractor, manufactured between 1986 and 1993, was a popular utility tractor known for its reliability and versatility. Powered by a 55 HP diesel engine, it provided sufficient power for a variety of farm tasks. With a PTO horsepower rating of around 47 HP, it was well-suited for operating implements such as mowers, tillers, and balers, making it a favorite among farmers.
The John Deere 2555 was introduced in 1986 as part of the John Deere utility tractor lineup and was produced until 1993. It filled a niche for farmers needing a mid-size tractor capable of handling diverse tasks. The 2555 is powered by a Yanmar 4TNE94 4-cylinder diesel engine, producing approximately 55 horsepower with a displacement of 134.2 cubic inches (2.2 L). Transmission options included a synchronized manual transmission with 8 forward and 4 reverse gears or a Collar-Shift transmission with 8 forward and 2 reverse gears. The PTO delivered around 47 horsepower, available in a standard 540 RPM configuration. The hydraulic system had a capacity of around 8.4 gallons per minute, with options for one or two remote valves. The 3-point hitch was a Category II, with a lift capacity of approximately 3,245 lbs. The John Deere 2555 was frequently used for row crop work, hay production, livestock operations (feeding and cleaning), and light tillage tasks. Distinguishing it from smaller models in the lineup, the 2555 offered greater horsepower and hydraulic capacity, while remaining more compact and maneuverable than the larger row-crop tractors.
