|---|---|
| PTO note | Use the John Deere X720’s 23 hp PTO rating when sizing implements; the 23 hp engine rating is not the number the implement actually receives. |
| Drawbar note | The John Deere X720 combines 20.5 hp drawbar horsepower with 1,139 lb operating weight, so traction and ballast can matter as much as power for pulling jobs. |
| Power-to-weight note | The John Deere X720’s weight-to-power figure is about 49.5 lb per engine horsepower; that means it is light for its power, so traction and ballast can become the limiting factor before engine power. |
