John Deere X728 Extra Horsepower Notes
| Horsepower note | The John Deere X728 has almost no visible gap between the listed engine horsepower and PTO horsepower ratings. |
|---|---|
| PTO note | With 27 hp at the PTO, the John Deere X728 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 22.5 hp drawbar power, the John Deere X728 is about 4.5 hp below its engine rating once power is measured as pull at the ground. |
| Power-to-weight note | The John Deere X728’s weight-to-power figure is about 34.3 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 | For engine identification, the John Deere X728 is listed with engine model Kawasaki FD750DEFI, 45.5 cu in displacement. |
