JOHN DEERE Hydraulic Systems
Built around usable hydraulic performance in the field.
HKX has manufactured auxiliary hydraulic systems for John Deere excavators since the early 1990s. Each application begins with the machine and attachment so the circuit can be planned around actual operating requirements.
Prepared components, machine-specific routing, and illustrated documentation help turn that engineering work into a repeatable installation process for dealers and equipment owners.

Attachment Possibilities
Configure the hydraulic functions the work requires.
HKX can help connect John Deere excavators with single-function, combination, rotating, priority-flow, and specialized attachment applications.
Multi-Function Systems
Combined circuits for attachments that require multiple controlled hydraulic functions.
Rotation & Priority Flow
Options for rotating tools and demanding applications that require deliberate flow management.
Custom & Conversion
Purpose-built planning for uncommon attachments, legacy machines, and specialized operating requirements.
Machine & Attachment Engineering
Flow, pressure, and controls planned as one system.
The attachment requirements guide the hydraulic configuration so the finished John Deere system supports productive, controllable operation.
What HKX plans around
- Attachment-first specification: HKX reviews the function and hydraulic demand before configuring the system.
- Machine-specific fit: Tubing, hoses, mounting, and controls are selected for the identified machine.
- Practical validation: Application knowledge and installation feedback inform the finished solution.
Installation-Ready Systems
A complete path from machine details to working hydraulics.
HKX prepares John Deere hydraulic systems to reduce field fabrication, clarify installation, and support the machine after the kit ships.
