Ferguson F-40 vs Ferguson TO-30

Verdict: Ferguson F-40 vs Ferguson TO-30

The Ferguson F-40 and the Ferguson TO-30 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 28 hp. Ferguson TO-30 is the lighter machine (1,270 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 1951). In short: choose the Ferguson F-40 for outright pulling power, or the Ferguson TO-30 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
