John Deere 3100 Extra Horsepower Notes
Horsepower note
The John Deere 3100 has almost no visible gap between the listed engine horsepower and PTO horsepower ratings.
PTO note
With 55 hp at the PTO, the John Deere 3100 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
Use 68 hp drawbar horsepower for pulling comparisons and 55 hp PTO horsepower for driven implements on the John Deere 3100.
Power-to-weight note
At 3,000 lb and 55 hp, the John Deere 3100 works out to about 54.5 lb per engine horsepower, making it light for its power, so traction and ballast can become the limiting factor before engine power.
Engine note
The John Deere 3100’s 2.9 L engine makes 55 hp, or about 19 hp per litre.
Torque / RPM note
The John Deere 3100 combines 220 lb-ft of torque with a 1,450 rpm rated engine speed, which fits a lower-speed tractor engine setup.
Official information note
