i have found a really nice 2555 john deere that has 2,400 hours. It has a cab, Hi low trans, loader, everything. It is all original and has been barn kept its whole life. But my problem is I was looking for a 2755 because I needed the extra 10 horsepower. My understanding is the 2555 and 2755 use the same exact engine and turbo, what could be done to the 2555 to squeeze 10 more horsepower out of it?

The 2555's all had turbos.

I own a 2355 2wd....I bale with it in fourth gear when I use it....but if I bale on steep hills I have to bale in third gear...otherwise it does fine. I just don't bale much with it anymore. The 2355 has about 56 HP....the 2555 has about 10 more HP. I would buy that tractor if it were here in a NY minute.

I grew up on a 2755, put lots of hours on it hauling hay and feeding in the winter. Great tractor, I didn't care for the hi low trans wish it would have had a powershift of some sort and ours had no turbo

I'm pretty sure all 2755s had a turbo.

It will have four synchronized gears in two ranges for total of eight gears. Have to clutch to change any of those gears or ranges. But you can shift the hi low anytime with no clutching. The difference in hi and low speeds isn't huge but still noticeable. Basically turns it into a 16 speed.

Only turbo exhaust no NA manifold is listed in 2755 parts catalog plus Tratordata.com shows 2755 is turbocharged.

I would not want one without the hi/lo. 8 speeds just is not enough, always want a gear in between. All of ours had the hi/lo on them. 2440, 2440 w/ loader, 2750 dynoed out at 85 hp 2wd awesome tractor, light weight with that much hp makes for a fun tractor, 2750 4wd w/loader, 2355 4wd w/loader.

I went today to look at the tractor and man was I impressed. i looked under the hood and it has a turbo. I got the chance to drive it around for a bit and I was really impressed with how the tractor felt it was much stronger than I thought and was a lot heavier feeling than I thought. I'm probably going to end up buying this tractor.

Those are really well balanced tractors, something Deere should have stuck with was the low center of gravity and spread out weight on those 50 and 55 series tractors. Not tippy like the newest 5000s. Like all old Deeres they have plenty of low end grunt for how little overall hp they are, plus for an 80s tractor they have some of the best ergonomics. I just hate that corner door in the soundgard cabs.

Makes ya wonder why they ditched the 55 series and went to the terrible 5000 series.

Well I learned something, I could have sworn it didn't have a turbo on it.

Went ahead and purchased the 2555 I looked at the other day. It has 2800 hours and is supposed to be all original. Everything works, has a radio, extremely cold ac. I can't wait to get into the field this summer with this tractor thanks for all you guys help with making my decision.
