Horsepower?

Post by mojodeere »

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows what the actual horsepower would be on a 84 Liquifire, Sportfire,& Trailfire?
I wouldn't mind knowing this info for display signs for sled shows.

Thanks!

As I recall the Liquifire was, in the words of John Deere, a sensible 65HP.

Yep. Liquifires had 65 stock hp. If memory serves, Sportfires made 48, 440 Trailfires 46, and 340 Trailfires were 36.

Not to disagree with anyone, but SnowGoer stated the 84 Sportfire was 42 hp, and Deere rated it with 15% more power than the Trailfire. Agree that the 82-84 Liquifire was rated for 65 hp.

I hope this helps,
