John Deere 5720 Extra Horsepower Notes
Horsepower note
With PTO power at roughly 86.2% of engine horsepower, the John Deere 5720 keeps most of its rated power available for PTO work.
PTO note
With 69 hp at the PTO, the John Deere 5720 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
The John Deere 5720’s 70.5 hp drawbar rating is the better number for ground-pulling work than the 80 hp engine rating.
Power-to-weight note
The John Deere 5720’s weight-to-power figure is about 47.5 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
For engine identification, the John Deere 5720 is listed with engine model the John Deere 4045TL273 turbocharged, 4.5 L displacement, 4 cylinders, rated at 2,300 rpm.
Torque / RPM note
The John Deere 5720’s 228 lb-ft torque rating works with its 2,300 rpm rated speed, so load response depends on both numbers.
