PTO note
Use the John Deere LX255’s 15 hp PTO rating when sizing implements; the 15 hp engine rating is not the number the implement actually receives.

Use 15.5 hp drawbar horsepower for pulling comparisons and 15 hp PTO horsepower for driven implements on the John Deere LX255.
Power-to-weight note
Using 483 lb operating weight and 15 hp engine power, the John Deere LX255 comes out at roughly 32.2 lb per engine horsepower, meaning it is light for its power, so traction and ballast can become the limiting factor before engine power.

The John Deere LX255 uses engine model the Kohler CV15S-41571, 26 cu in displacement, 1 cylinders, rated at 3,425 rpm, which helps explain where its horsepower rating comes from.
Torque / RPM note
The John Deere LX255’s 30 lb-ft torque figure should be read with its 26 cu in engine size and 3,425 rpm rated speed.
