John Deere D170 Extra Horsepower Notes
| Horsepower note | The John Deere D170 lists engine horsepower and PTO horsepower very close together at about 25 hp. |
|---|---|
| PTO note | With 25 hp at the PTO, the John Deere D170 is best matched to finish mowing, light-duty rotary cutting, light tilling and small utility PTO jobs; heavy hay tools, large augers and high-load PTO equipment are not the natural match for this power class. |
| Drawbar note | The John Deere D170 separates pulling work from PTO work with 25 hp drawbar horsepower and 25 hp PTO horsepower. |
| Power-to-weight note | At 1,200 lb and 25 hp, the John Deere D170 works out to about 48 lb per engine horsepower, making it light for its power, so traction and ballast can become the limiting factor before engine power. |
| Engine note | Engine details for the John Deere D170 come together as 44.2 cu in displacement, rated at 3,600 rpm. |
| Torque / RPM note | The John Deere D170’s 54.2 lb-ft torque rating works with its 3,600 rpm rated speed, so load response depends on both numbers. |
