John Deere 6230R Extra Horsepower Notes
Horsepower note
For power comparison, the John Deere 6230R sits at 230 hp engine horsepower with 220 hp available at the PTO.
PTO note
With 220 hp at the PTO, the John Deere 6230R is best matched to large PTO-driven equipment where the implement horsepower requirement matters more than the engine rating; large implements still need to be matched by PTO requirement, ballast, traction and transmission setup.
Drawbar note
Use 230 hp drawbar horsepower for pulling comparisons and 220 hp PTO horsepower for driven implements on the John Deere 6230R.
Power-to-weight note
Using 20,503 lb operating weight and 230 hp engine power, the John Deere 6230R comes out at roughly 89.1 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
For engine identification, the John Deere 6230R is listed with engine model the John Deere PowerTech PSS, 415 cu in displacement, 6 cylinders, rated at 2,100 rpm.
Torque / RPM note
The John Deere 6230R combines 281 lb-ft of torque with a 2,100 rpm rated engine speed, which fits a lower-speed tractor engine setup.
