John Deere CWS

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

John Deere CWS uses brake fluid with a capacity of 1 liter. Service intervals occur every 200 hours. The data covers 4 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The hydraulic brake system capacity across the 1450, 1450 CWS, 1550, and 1550 CWS models is 1 liter for the 2001-2009 model years.
  • A 1-liter brake fluid capacity is a relatively modest volume, consistent with the compact hydraulic brake circuits found on machines of this class.
  • The John Deere CWS brake fluid check interval is set at 200 hours under normal use conditions, meaning the interval applies to standard operating environments rather than demanding or high-stress applications.
  • The 200-hour check interval is a fluid inspection point, not necessarily a full fluid replacement interval, which is a common distinction in hydraulic brake system maintenance schedules.
  • The CWS variants of the 1450 and 1550 share identical brake fluid capacity and check interval specifications with their non-CWS counterparts across the 2001-2009 range, indicating no differentiation in hydraulic brake system sizing between the two configurations.
