John Deere L100 Extra Horsepower Notes
Horsepower note
The John Deere L100 loses roughly 17.1% from engine horsepower to drawbar horsepower, which reflects drivetrain, traction and ground-contact losses.
PTO note
With 20 hp at the PTO, the John Deere L100 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
At 14.5 hp drawbar power, the John Deere L100 is about 3 hp below its engine rating once power is measured as pull at the ground.
Power-to-weight note
At 462 lb and 17.5 hp, the John Deere L100 works out to about 26.4 lb per engine horsepower, making it light for its power, so traction and ballast can become the limiting factor before engine power.
Engine note
Engine details for the John Deere L100 come together as 30.6 cu in displacement.
Official information note
