|---|---|
| PTO note | The John Deere 5205’s 48 hp PTO rating should be read with its 2,300 rpm rated engine speed when comparing implement requirements. |
| Drawbar note | For plows, ground tools and pull-type loads, the John Deere 5205’s 40.8 hp drawbar horsepower says more than engine horsepower alone. |
| Power-to-weight note | At 5,000 lb and 53 hp, the John Deere 5205 works out to about 94.3 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 5205 uses engine model the John Deere 3029D, 2.9 L displacement, 3 cylinders, rated at 2,300 rpm, which helps explain where its horsepower rating comes from. |
| Torque / RPM note | The John Deere 5205’s 180.3 Nm torque rating works with its 2,300 rpm rated speed, so load response depends on both numbers. |
