Ford 250C vs Ford 345D

Verdict: Ford 250C vs Ford 345D

The Ford 250C and the Ford 345D are both industrial tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford 345D leads on rated power with 58 hp against 56 hp. Ford 250C is the lighter machine (4,948 kg vs 8,520 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Ford 345D is the newer design (1993 vs 1989). In short: choose the Ford 345D for outright pulling power, or the Ford 250C if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
