Ferguson F-40 vs Ferguson TEA-20

Verdict: Ferguson F-40 vs Ferguson TEA-20

The Ferguson F-40 and the Ferguson TEA-20 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ferguson F-40 leads on rated power with 31 hp against 24 hp. Ferguson TEA-20 is the lighter machine (1,134 kg vs 1,550 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Ferguson F-40 is the newer design (1956 vs 1948). In short: choose the Ferguson F-40 for outright pulling power, or the Ferguson TEA-20 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
