John Deere 4960 Extra Horsepower Notes
Horsepower note
The useful spread on the John Deere 4960 is small: 222 hp engine horsepower versus 200 hp PTO horsepower.
PTO note
With 200 hp at the PTO, the John Deere 4960 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.
Drawbar note
The John Deere 4960’s 176.5 hp drawbar rating is the better number for ground-pulling work than the 222 hp engine rating.
Power-to-weight note
The John Deere 4960’s weight-to-power figure is about 85.5 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
Engine details for the John Deere 4960 come together as engine model a 7.6 L, 7.6 L displacement, rated at 2,200 rpm.
Torque / RPM note
The John Deere 4960’s 600 lb-ft torque rating works with its 2,200 rpm rated speed, so load response depends on both numbers.
Official information note
