John Deere 325 Extra Horsepower Notes
Horsepower note
With PTO power at roughly 94.4% of engine horsepower, the John Deere 325 keeps most of its rated power available for PTO work.
PTO note
Use the John Deere 325’s 17 hp PTO rating when sizing implements; the 18 hp engine rating is not the number the implement actually receives.
Drawbar note
The John Deere 325’s 15.5 hp drawbar rating is the better number for ground-pulling work than the 18 hp engine rating.
Power-to-weight note
The John Deere 325’s weight-to-power figure is about 35.7 lb per engine horsepower; that means it is light for its power, so traction and ballast can become the limiting factor before engine power.
Engine note
For engine identification, the John Deere 325 is listed with engine model the Kawasaki FC540V, 32.6 cu in displacement.
Torque / RPM note
The John Deere 325’s 30.5 lb-ft torque rating suits a low-horsepower compact tractor, but traction and weight still limit hard pulling work.
Official information note
Mistakes do happen. Horsepower, PTO horsepower, drawbar horsepower, weight and engine specs can change by year, market, engine option, cab, transmission and test standard. Please check the operator manual and official deere.com website for official information.
