John Deere 8960 Extra Horsepower Notes
Horsepower note
For power comparison, the John Deere 8960 sits at 370 hp engine horsepower with 337.4 hp available at the PTO.
PTO note
With 337.4 hp at the PTO, the John Deere 8960 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
For plows, ground tools and pull-type loads, the John Deere 8960’s 308.3 hp drawbar horsepower says more than engine horsepower alone.
Power-to-weight note
The John Deere 8960’s weight-to-power figure is about 94.9 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
The John Deere 8960 uses 14 L displacement, rated at 1,900 rpm, which helps explain where its horsepower rating comes from.
Torque / RPM note
The John Deere 8960’s 1,000 lb-ft torque rating works with its 1,900 rpm rated speed, so load response depends on both numbers.
Official information note
Mistakes do happen. Horsepower, PTO horsepower, drawbar horsepower, weight and engine specs can change by year, market, engine option, cab, transmission and test standard. Please check the operator manual and official deere.com website for official information.
