Verdict: Farmall 350 vs Farmall M

The Farmall 350 and the Farmall M are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Farmall 350 leads on rated power with 35 hp against 34 hp. Farmall M is the lighter machine (2,203 kg vs 5,331 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Farmall M holds more fuel (79.5 L vs 64.3 L) for longer stints between fills. Farmall 350 is the newer design (1956 vs 1939).
