John Deere Z245 Extra Horsepower Notes
| Horsepower note | The John Deere Z245 is rated at 23 hp engine power and 22 hp at the PTO, a drop of about 1 hp between the engine and PTO. |
|---|---|
| PTO note | With 22 hp at the PTO, the John Deere Z245 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 20.5 hp drawbar power, the John Deere Z245 is about 2.5 hp below its engine rating once power is measured as pull at the ground. |
| Power-to-weight note | Using 590 lb operating weight and 23 hp engine power, the John Deere Z245 comes out at roughly 25.7 lb per engine horsepower, meaning it is light for its power, so traction and ballast can become the limiting factor before engine power. |
| Engine note | With 44.1 cu in across 2 cylinders, the John Deere Z245 averages about 22.1 L per cylinder. |
| Torque / RPM note | Use the John Deere Z245’s 3,600 rpm rated RPM when comparing engine specs across similar tractors. |
