Additional Notes

  • The John Deere Construction Telescopic Handler 3200 and 3400 models equipped with the John Deere 4045TZ250 engine from serial number 201957 onward share an identical powershift transmission fluid capacity of 18.5 liters under normal use conditions.
  • A capacity of 18.5 liters in a powershift transmission reflects a relatively substantial fluid volume, consistent with the hydraulic clutch packs and torque converter circuits that powershift systems rely on for gear engagement without interrupting power flow.
  • The serial number threshold of 201957 on both the 3200 and 3400 configurations indicates the 18.5-liter specification applies specifically to units produced from that point forward, meaning earlier serial numbers fall outside the scope of the listed specification.
