John Deere 9460RT Extra Horsepower Notes
| Horsepower note | The useful spread on the John Deere 9460RT is small: 460 hp engine horsepower versus 319 hp PTO horsepower. |
|---|---|
| PTO note | Use the John Deere 9460RT’s 319 hp PTO rating when sizing implements; the 460 hp engine rating is not the number the implement actually receives. |
| Drawbar note | The John Deere 9460RT combines 319 hp drawbar horsepower with 40,000 lb operating weight, so traction and ballast can matter as much as power for pulling jobs. |
