Horsepower note
The John Deere 5042D is rated at 42 hp engine power and 35.7 hp at the PTO, a drop of about 6.3 hp between the engine and PTO.
PTO note
With 35.7 hp at the PTO, the John Deere 5042D 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
For plows, ground tools and pull-type loads, the John Deere 5042D’s 35.7 hp drawbar horsepower says more than engine horsepower alone.
Power-to-weight note
The John Deere 5042D pairs 42 hp with 3,990 lb of operating weight, so the real-world result depends heavily on traction, ballast and tyre setup.
Engine note
The John Deere 5042D’s 2.9 L engine makes 42 hp, or about 14.5 hp per litre.
Torque / RPM note
The John Deere 5042D’s 109.2 lb-ft torque rating works with its 2,200 rpm rated speed, so load response depends on both numbers.
