Additional Notes

  • All seven variants in the John Deere 1005 series — the 1055, 1065, 1068 Sidehill, 1075, 1075 Hydro/4, 1085, and 1085 Hydro/4 — share an identical brake fluid capacity of 0.75 liter across the full 1982-1989 production span.
  • The 0.75 liter figure represents a service fill capacity for the hydraulic brake/clutch system, meaning the volume of fluid held within the operating circuit rather than a larger overhaul or reservoir-plus-lines total.
  • Each variant carries a single shared check interval of every 100 hours under normal use conditions, which in agricultural equipment typically corresponds to routine seasonal or field-hour milestones rather than calendar-based intervals.
  • The specifications apply uniformly to normal use conditions across all seven models, with no separate severe-duty interval listed for any variant in the series.
  • The hydraulic brake/clutch system noted for each variant indicates a combined circuit where brake actuation and clutch disengagement draw from the same fluid reservoir, a design common in European-market combine harvesters of the era.
  • The 1068 Sidehill designation identifies a hillside harvesting configuration, yet the brake fluid capacity and check interval remain identical to the standard-platform models in the series, indicating no additional reservoir volume for the modified chassis.
  • The Hydro/4 designation on the 1075 Hydro/4 and 1085 Hydro/4 refers to hydrostatic four-wheel-drive drivetrain variants, yet the brake/clutch hydraulic system capacity of 0.75 liter is unchanged relative to the standard two-wheel-drive counterparts.
