John Deere 6170M Extra Horsepower Notes
Horsepower note
The John Deere 6170M shows 170 hp at the engine and 140 hp at the PTO, which is a normal drop from engine power to PTO power for a mid-size tractor.
PTO note
The John Deere 6170M’s 140 hp PTO rating should be read with its 2,100 rpm rated engine speed when comparing implement requirements.
Drawbar note
The John Deere 6170M combines 131.8 hp drawbar horsepower with 15,664 lb operating weight, so traction and ballast can matter as much as power for pulling jobs.
Power-to-weight note
The John Deere 6170M’s weight-to-power figure is about 92.1 lb per engine horsepower; that means it is light for its power, so traction and ballast can become the limiting factor before engine power.

The John Deere 6170M uses 6.8 L displacement, rated at 2,100 rpm, which helps explain where its horsepower rating comes from.
Torque / RPM note
The John Deere 6170M combines 398 lb-ft of torque with a 2,100 rpm rated engine speed, which fits a lower-speed tractor engine setup.
