John Deere 1140 Extra Horsepower Notes
| Horsepower note | The John Deere 1140 shows 55 hp at the engine and 49.6 hp at the PTO, which is a small drop from engine power to PTO power for a compact utility tractor. |
|---|---|
| PTO note | The John Deere 1140 has 49.6 hp available at the PTO, placing it in the compact utility tractor PTO range rather than a heavy-implement class. |
| Drawbar note | The John Deere 1140 combines 49.6 hp drawbar horsepower with 4,000 lb operating weight, so traction and ballast can matter as much as power for pulling jobs. |
| Power-to-weight note | The John Deere 1140’s weight-to-power figure is about 72.7 lb per engine horsepower; that means it is light for its power, so traction and ballast can become the limiting factor before engine power. |

| Torque / RPM note | The John Deere 1140’s 136.4 lb-ft torque rating works with its 2,500 rpm rated speed, so load response depends on both numbers. |
