John Deere 8345R specs: hp, weight, years
John Deere 6090HRW52 or JohnDeere 6090RW441. The manufacturer claimed 341 horsepower. The only laboratory test on record is of one version: OECD Test 2655 measured 325.01 hp at the PTO of the 8345R (4WD); OECD Test 3012 measured 343.45 hp at the PTO of the 8345R (4WDwithdualrearwheels). Compared at the engine's rated speed, where the brochure figure is quoted, the shaft gave 304.17 hp — 10.7% below the claim.

How much horsepower does an 8345R have?
The only laboratory test on record is of one version. OECD Test 2655 measured 325.01 hp at the PTO of the 8345R (4WD); OECD Test 3012 measured 343.45 hp at the PTO of the 8345R (4WDwithdualrearwheels). For the 8345R as a whole the figure is the 341 hp claimed for the engine, which is not power at the shaft.
