John Deere 120R loader
Update, May 2019: Recall complete in New Zealand
Product Identifiers
Sold at John Deere dealers from May to September 2017 John Deere model 120R loaders (only affected if you are attaching to a 2025R tractor). The loaders are mostly green with yellow accents. The model number 120R is located on both sides of the loader. The serial number is located on the inside of the left boom arm of the loader.
The Hazard!
Information about the proper ballast when the loader is attached to a John Deere model 2025R tractor is missing from the operator’s manual.
If improperly ballasted, the tractor can be unstable and create a risk of injury to the operator or bystanders.
What to do...
John Deere has completed the safety notice in New Zealand (contacted all owners and provided updated user manuals).
