The John Deere 4044R is a 43.1 HP compact tractor producing 32.3 PTO HP through a 540 RPM PTO, with a SAE Category I hitch and a 3-point lift capacity of 2500 lb. Below: every attachment in our database checked against these specs.
Attachment fit for the 4044R is decided by four of these figures: hitch category, PTO horsepower, PTO shaft speed, and implement weight against the 2500 lb three-point lift rating. Implements rated for sub-compact tractors also fit, with capacity to spare. Front-mount attachments additionally require the correct loader quick-attach type and, for grapples, a third hydraulic function. These figures are cited to the manufacturer but have not yet been checked line by line against its document, so confirm them with the maker or your dealer.
The John Deere 4044R is rated at 32.3 PTO horsepower, which is more than 105 of the other 194 tractors in our database (the median is 31).
