Farmall F-30 vs Farmall H
Verdict: Farmall F-30 vs Farmall H
The Farmall F-30 and the Farmall H are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Farmall F-30 leads on rated power with 20 hp against 19 hp. Farmall H is the lighter machine (1,757 kg vs 2,404 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
