Farmall 230 vs Farmall Super C

Verdict: Farmall 230 vs Farmall Super C

The Farmall 230 and the Farmall Super C are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Farmall 230 leads on rated power with 25 hp against 24 hp. Farmall Super C is the lighter machine (1,406 kg vs 1,560 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
