John Deere 80 weight FAQ
How much does a John Deere 80 weigh?
The John Deere 80 weighs 8,300 lb (3,764 kg) using the primary published weight figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 8,300 to 11,485 lb (3,764 to 5,209 kg).
How much does the John Deere 80 weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 11,485 lb (5,210 kg). That is up to 3,185 lb (38.4%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the John Deere 80 heavy or light for a standard-tread tractor?
It is close to average for its peer group. The representative figure sits at about the 61st percentile, near the middle of the standard-tread tractor peers. That puts it in the average range for this comparison. It is 99 lb lighter than the peer-group average of 8,399 lb.
How wide is the John Deere 80 for transport?
The maximum published tractor width is 79.5 in (6.6 ft). That is 22.5 in under 8.5 ft before allowing for a loader, duals, implements or other equipment that may increase transport width.
Does the John Deere 80 weigh more than 10,000 lb?
Some configurations do. The representative published weight is 8,300 lb, and the heaviest published configuration on this page is 11,485 lb (5.74 US tons). Any trailer calculation also needs the trailer itself plus fuel, ballast, attachments and other equipment.
What is the John Deere 80 weight-to-horsepower ratio?
Using the page’s representative 8,300 lb weight and 60.4 hp power figure, the tractor carries about 137.5 lb per horsepower. A lower lb/hp number means less tractor mass for each horsepower; this is a comparison metric, not a traction or performance rating.
