John Deere 8310T specs: hp, weight, years

John Deere-PowerTech 6.081 HRW-16 six-cylinder diesel or John Deere 6081HWR16. The manufacturer claimed 232 horsepower. The only laboratory test on record is of one version: OECD Test 1935 measured 235.1 hp at the PTO of the 8310T (Rubber tracklaying tractor). Compared at the engine's rated speed, where the brochure figure is quoted, the shaft gave 206.4 hp — 11% below the claim.
