New Holland 8240 Horsepower FAQ
How much PTO horsepower does the New Holland 8240 have?
The listed PTO output is 96 hp, above the 65 hp benchmark average. That is the number to use for mowers, balers, augers, pumps and other PTO tools that need up to about 96 hp.
How much drawbar horsepower does the New Holland 8240 have?
The listed drawbar output is 84.5 hp, above the 55 hp benchmark average. That makes the 84.5 hp drawbar number more useful than engine hp for tillage and heavy pulling.
Is the New Holland 8240 better judged by PTO hp or drawbar hp?
The drawbar output is about 88% of PTO output, comparing 84.5 drawbar hp with 96 PTO hp. That helps separate pulling ability from PTO implement ability.
How big is the New Holland 8240 engine?
The engine displacement is 456 ci, above the 260 ci benchmark average. Bigger displacement can help low-rpm pull and load-holding feel.
Is the New Holland 8240 engine stressed for its PTO horsepower?
The engine has about 4.8 cubic inches per PTO hp, using 456 ci and 96 PTO hp. That points to a larger-displacement, lower-stress style setup.
How much PTO horsepower per liter does the New Holland 8240 make?
The output density is about 12.8 PTO hp per liter, using 96 PTO hp and 7.5 L of displacement. Higher hp/L means more output squeezed from each liter; lower hp/L usually means a more relaxed engine tune.
What rpm is the New Holland 8240 rated at?
The rated speed is 2,100 rpm, close to the 2,200 rpm benchmark average. The 2,100 rpm figure is around normal for this class.
