John Deere 946 Extra Horsepower Notes
Horsepower note
The John Deere 946 lists engine horsepower and PTO horsepower very close together at about 30 hp.
PTO note
The John Deere 946’s PTO output is 30 hp, about 100% of its 30 hp engine rating, so PTO implement choice should be based on the PTO number.
Drawbar note
For plows, ground tools and pull-type loads, the John Deere 946’s 25.5 hp drawbar horsepower says more than engine horsepower alone.
Power-to-weight note
The John Deere 946’s weight-to-power figure is about 79.4 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
With 1.5 L across 3 cylinders, the John Deere 946 averages about 0.5 L per cylinder.
Torque / RPM note
The John Deere 946’s 1,057 lb-ft torque rating suits a low-horsepower compact tractor, but traction and weight still limit hard pulling work.
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.
