The John Deere 5500’s 83 hp engine rating places it in the utility tractor category.
Power-to-weight note
Using 5,780 lb operating weight and 83 hp engine power, the John Deere 5500 comes out at roughly 69.6 lb per engine horsepower, meaning it is light for its power, so traction and ballast can become the limiting factor before engine power.
Engine note
The John Deere 5500 uses engine model turbocharged, 3.9 L displacement, 4 cylinders, which helps explain where its horsepower rating comes from.
