John Deere 9520RT Extra Horsepower Notes
| Horsepower note | The John Deere 9520RT shows 520 hp at the engine and 329 hp at the PTO, which is a large gap between engine power and PTO power for a high-horsepower tractor. |
|---|---|
| PTO note | Use the John Deere 9520RT’s 329 hp PTO rating when sizing implements; the 520 hp engine rating is not the number the implement actually receives. |
| Drawbar note | The John Deere 9520RT combines 500 hp drawbar horsepower with 44,910 lb operating weight, so traction and ballast can matter as much as power for pulling jobs. |
