John Deere X140 Extra Horsepower Notes
| Horsepower note | The John Deere X140 has almost no visible gap between the listed engine horsepower and PTO horsepower ratings. |
|---|---|
| PTO note | With 18 hp at the PTO, the John Deere X140 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 | At 15.5 hp drawbar power, the John Deere X140 is about 2.5 hp below its engine rating once power is measured as pull at the ground. |
| Power-to-weight note | The John Deere X140’s weight-to-power figure is about 42.8 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 X140’s engine setup is 40 cu in displacement, rated at 3,600 rpm, matching its low-horsepower compact horsepower range. |
| Torque / RPM note | The John Deere X140 combines 30.5 lb-ft of torque with a 3,600 rpm rated engine speed, which fits a higher-revving compact or utility engine setup. |
