The engine fires at a compression ratio of 15.5 to 1.

The oil reservoir for the engine on the John Deere 8450 can hold up to 18.9 liters. It also uses a intercooled turbocharger to boost the total power output which is 225 hp.

This tractor is built on an articulated 4X4 4WD chassis which is much easier to use for pulling than a regular 4X4 MFWD 4WD chassis.
