John Deere 62 Extra Horsepower Notes
| Horsepower note | The useful spread on the John Deere 62 is small: 90 hp engine horsepower versus 72 hp PTO horsepower. |
|---|---|
| PTO note | Use the John Deere 62’s 72 hp PTO rating when sizing implements; the 90 hp engine rating is not the number the implement actually receives. |
| Drawbar note | At 59.5 hp drawbar power, the John Deere 62 is about 30.5 hp below its engine rating once power is measured as pull at the ground. |
| Power-to-weight note | At 1,500 lb and 90 hp, the John Deere 62 works out to about 16.7 lb per engine horsepower, making it light for its power, so traction and ballast can become the limiting factor before engine power. |
| Engine note | The John Deere 62’s 0.6 L engine makes 90 hp, or about 150 hp per litre. |
| Torque / RPM note | The John Deere 62’s 220 lb-ft torque figure should be read with its 0.6 L engine size and 2,208 rpm rated speed. |
