PTO note
Use the John Deere 6M 240’s 237 hp PTO rating when sizing implements; the 237.4 hp engine rating is not the number the implement actually receives.

The John Deere 6M 240’s 194 hp drawbar rating is the better number for ground-pulling work than the 237.4 hp engine rating.
Power-to-weight note
Using 19,180 lb operating weight and 237.4 hp engine power, the John Deere 6M 240 comes out at roughly 80.8 lb per engine horsepower, meaning it is light for its power, so traction and ballast can become the limiting factor before engine power.

Torque / RPM note
The John Deere 6M 240’s 737 lb-ft torque rating matters for lugging through heavier field work, especially when paired with the right ballast and gearing.
