John Deere 6170R Extra Horsepower Notes
Horsepower note
The John Deere 6170R lists engine horsepower and PTO horsepower very close together at about 170 hp.
PTO note
Use the John Deere 6170R’s 170 hp PTO rating when sizing implements; the 170 hp engine rating is not the number the implement actually receives.
Drawbar note
The John Deere 6170R’s 135.9 hp drawbar rating is the better number for ground-pulling work than the 170 hp engine rating.
Power-to-weight note
Using 16,207 lb operating weight and 170 hp engine power, the John Deere 6170R comes out at roughly 95.3 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 6170R uses engine model the John Deere PowerTech PVX, 6.8 L displacement, rated at 2,100 rpm, which helps explain where its horsepower rating comes from.
Torque / RPM note
The John Deere 6170R’s 413 lb-ft torque rating works with its 2,100 rpm rated speed, so load response depends on both numbers.
Official information note
