John Deere 345 Extra Horsepower Notes
Horsepower note
The John Deere 345 has almost no visible gap between the listed engine horsepower and PTO horsepower ratings.
PTO note
With 20 hp at the PTO, the John Deere 345 is best matched to finish mowing, light-duty rotary cutting, light tilling and small utility PTO jobs; heavy hay tools, large augers and high-load PTO equipment are not the natural match for this power class.
Drawbar note
The John Deere 345 combines 18 hp drawbar horsepower with 699 lb operating weight, so traction and ballast can matter as much as power for pulling jobs.
Power-to-weight note
The John Deere 345’s weight-to-power figure is about 35 lb per engine horsepower; that means it is light for its power, so traction and ballast can become the limiting factor before engine power.
Engine note
The John Deere 345’s 35.7 cu in engine makes 20 hp, or about 0.6 hp per litre.
Torque / RPM note
The John Deere 345’s horsepower rating is tied to a rated engine speed of 3,575 rpm.
Official information note
