Farmall 230 vs Farmall Super H

Verdict: Farmall 230 vs Farmall Super H

The Farmall 230 and the Farmall Super H are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Farmall Super H leads on rated power with 29 hp against 25 hp. Farmall 230 is the lighter machine (1,560 kg vs 1,757 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Farmall Super H holds more fuel (64.3 L vs 41.6 L) for longer stints between fills. Farmall 230 is the newer design (1956 vs 1953).
