|---|---|
| PTO note | With 38.2 hp at the PTO, the John Deere 3045B 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. |

| Power-to-weight note | Using 4,409 lb operating weight and 45 hp engine power, the John Deere 3045B comes out at roughly 98 lb per engine horsepower, meaning it is light for its power, so traction and ballast can become the limiting factor before engine power. |

| Torque / RPM note | The John Deere 3045B’s 121.6 lb-ft torque figure should be read with its 181.7 cu in engine size and 2,300 rpm rated speed. |
