Horsepower note
The John Deere GX85 shows 18.5 hp at the engine and 13 hp at the PTO, which is a noticeable drop between engine power and PTO power for a low-horsepower compact tractor.
PTO note
The John Deere GX85’s PTO output is 13 hp, about 70.3% of its 18.5 hp engine rating, so PTO implement choice should be based on the PTO number.
Drawbar note
At 13 hp drawbar power, the John Deere GX85 is about 5.5 hp below its engine rating once power is measured as pull at the ground.
Power-to-weight note
Using 342 lb operating weight and 18.5 hp engine power, the John Deere GX85 comes out at roughly 18.5 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
At 22.5 lb-ft of torque, the John Deere GX85 has useful low-speed pull for its size without being a heavy pulling tractor.
