What is the John Deere 1026R weight-to-horsepower ratio?
Using the page’s representative 1,444 lb weight and 25.2 hp power figure, the tractor carries about 57.3 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.
