|---|---|
| PTO note | Use the John Deere 2251’s 61.7 hp PTO rating when sizing implements; the 250 hp engine rating is not the number the implement actually receives. |
| Drawbar note | At 61.7 hp drawbar power, the John Deere 2251 is about 188.3 hp below its engine rating once power is measured as pull at the ground. |
| Power-to-weight note | Using 7,500 lb operating weight and 250 hp engine power, the John Deere 2251 comes out at roughly 30 lb per engine horsepower, meaning it is light for its power, so traction and ballast can become the limiting factor before engine power. |
| Engine note | With 3.9 L across 4 cylinders, the John Deere 2251 averages about 1 L per cylinder. |
