Some configurations do. The representative published weight is 7,397 lb, and the heaviest published configuration on this page is 11,244 lb (5.62 US tons). Any trailer calculation also needs the trailer itself plus fuel, ballast, attachments and other equipment.
What is the John Deere 5700 weight-to-horsepower ratio?
Using the page’s representative 7,397 lb weight and 85 hp power figure, the tractor carries about 87 lb per horsepower. A lower lb/hp number means less tractor mass for each horsepower; this is a comparison metric, not a traction or performance rating.
