John Deere 4240S Extra Horsepower Notes
Horsepower note
The John Deere 4240S has almost no visible gap between the listed engine horsepower and PTO horsepower ratings.
PTO note
With 132 hp at the PTO, the John Deere 4240S is best matched to large PTO-driven equipment where the implement horsepower requirement matters more than the engine rating; large implements still need to be matched by PTO requirement, ballast, traction and transmission setup.
Power-to-weight note
At 413 lb and 132 hp, the John Deere 4240S works out to about 3.1 lb per engine horsepower, making it light for its power, so traction and ballast can become the limiting factor before engine power.
Engine note
For engine identification, the John Deere 4240S is listed with engine model John Deere turbocharged, 7.6 L displacement, 6 cylinders.
Torque / RPM note
The John Deere 4240S’s 413 lb-ft torque rating matters for lugging through heavier field work, especially when paired with the right ballast and gearing.
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.
