John Deere 1840 Hitch and Rear Lift Notes
Rear lift capacity note
For implement matching, the John Deere 1840 should be judged from the 2,800 lb (1,270 kg) 3-point hitch lift capacity figure. That gives a better real-world read than horsepower alone
PTO and weight context
The extra context for the John Deere 1840 is simple: rear PTO horsepower is 60 hp and operating weight is 5,476 lb (2,484 kg). That helps separate what it can lift from what it can actually run well
Rear implement matching
The John Deere 1840 hitch spec is useful because it helps judge whether attachments like rotary cutter, medium tiller, grader blade, seeder, and heavy ballast box are in the right size range

The main rear-lift number captured for the John Deere 1840 is 2,800 lb (1,270 kg). Use that as the first-pass number for rear implements, not as a front-loader rating.
Is rear lift capacity always measured the same way?

No. For the John Deere 1840, lift capacity is only one check. Hitch category, pin size and implement geometry still need confirming.
What rear implements can the John Deere 1840 lift?
Use the listed 2,800 lb (1,270 kg) 3-point hitch lift rating as the first filter for implements such as rotary cutter, medium tiller, grader blade, seeder, and heavy ballast box. Also check rear PTO power 60 hp and operating weight 5,476 lb (2,484 kg) before choosing the implement.
What other specs matter besides John Deere 1840 hitch lift?
Rear PTO horsepower (60 hp) and operating weight (5,476 lb (2,484 kg)) matter because a tractor can sometimes lift more than it should comfortably run or carry in rough conditions.
Official information note
Mistakes do happen. Tractor hitch lift specs can change by year, market, tire setup, ballast, hitch option and measurement point. Please check the operator manual, build sheet and official deere.com website for official information before buying or lifting heavy implements.
