John Deere 2240 Extra Horsepower Notes
Horsepower note
The John Deere 2240 shows 60 hp at the engine and 50 hp at the PTO, which is a normal drop from engine power to PTO power for a utility tractor.
PTO note
With 50 hp at the PTO, the John Deere 2240 is best matched to larger mowing, rotary cutting, tillage and medium utility implements; implement width and soil/load conditions still matter more than the horsepower number by itself.
Drawbar note
The John Deere 2240 combines 50.9 hp drawbar horsepower with 4,950 lb operating weight, so traction and ballast can matter as much as power for pulling jobs.
Power-to-weight note
Using 4,950 lb operating weight and 60 hp engine power, the John Deere 2240 comes out at roughly 82.5 lb per engine horsepower, meaning it is light for its power, so traction and ballast can become the limiting factor before engine power.
