John Deere 7220 specs: hp, weight, years
John Deere PowrTech 6.068 HRW-249 six-cylinder diesel or John Deere 6068TRW01. The manufacturer claimed 109 horsepower. The only laboratory test on record is of one version: OECD Test 2080 measured 104.1 hp at the PTO of the 7220 (4 WD). Compared at the engine's rated speed, where the brochure figure is quoted, the shaft gave 97.2 hp — 10.5% below the claim.
