John Deere 2240 weight FAQ
How much does a John Deere 2240 weigh?
The John Deere 2240 weighs 4,950 lb (2,245 kg) using the published Operating figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 4,255 to 7,340 lb (1,930 to 3,329 kg).
What is the operating weight of the John Deere 2240 compared with shipping weight?
Published operating weight is 4,950 lb (2,245 kg), versus 4,255 lb (1,930 kg) for shipping weight. That is roughly 695 lb (16.3%) more than shipping weight. Operating weight is generally the more useful starting point when estimating a ready-to-use tractor.
How much does the John Deere 2240 weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 7,340 lb (3,329 kg). That is up to 3,085 lb (72.5%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the John Deere 2240 heavy or light for a utility tractor?
It is close to average for its peer group. The representative figure sits at about the 54th percentile, near the middle of the utility tractor peers. That puts it in the average range for this comparison. It is 313 lb lighter than the peer-group average of 5,263 lb.
How wide is the John Deere 2240 for transport?
The maximum published tractor width is 63 in (5.2 ft). That is 39 in under 8.5 ft before allowing for a loader, duals, implements or other equipment that may increase transport width.
What is the John Deere 2240 weight-to-horsepower ratio?
Using the page’s representative 4,950 lb weight and 50 hp power figure, the tractor carries about 99 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.
