Additional Notes

  • The John Deere 2200 series Hillmaster models — spanning the 2254, 2256, 2258, 2264, and 2266 — all share an identical cooling system capacity of 30 liters across the 1997-2001 production range.
  • A 30-liter cooling system capacity is a relatively large figure, consistent with the demands of a full-size combine harvester engine operating under sustained heavy load conditions.
  • The coolant check interval is set at every 10 hours of operation under normal use conditions, which reflects the frequency typical of daily pre-operation inspections on agricultural machinery during active harvest periods.
  • Coolant changes are specified on a 24-month cycle under normal use conditions, meaning the service interval is time-based rather than hour-based, regardless of how many operating hours accumulate within that period.
  • The uniform 30-liter capacity across all five Hillmaster variants — 2254, 2256, 2258, 2264, and 2266 — indicates a shared cooling system architecture despite the differing model designations within the series.
  • The combination of a 10-hour check interval alongside a 24-month change interval means coolant level monitoring occurs far more frequently than full coolant replacement, which is standard practice for large-capacity cooling systems where topping up between changes is expected.
