Additional Notes

  • The John Deere 2200 series Hillmaster models — spanning the 2254, 2256, 2258, 2264, and 2266 — all share an identical manual transmission fluid capacity of 7 liters across the 1997-2001 production range.
  • A 7-liter capacity in a manual transmission of this class is consistent with a service fill figure, meaning the volume required when refilling a drained but otherwise intact transmission rather than a full overhaul rebuild scenario.
  • Fluid level checks on all five Hillmaster variants are specified at 250-hour intervals under normal use conditions, a relatively frequent inspection interval that reflects the demanding terrain these machines are designed to operate on.
  • The fluid change interval across all listed configurations is set at 1000 hours under normal use conditions, placing four check intervals between each drain-and-fill service cycle.
  • The uniform 7-liter capacity across the 2254, 2256, 2258, 2264, and 2266 variants indicates a shared transmission assembly design despite the differing model designations within the series.
  • All specifications in the dataset are designated for normal use conditions, meaning the 250-hour check and 1000-hour change intervals apply specifically within that operating classification rather than representing a universal baseline independent of use context.
