Ford 260C vs Ford 545C
Verdict: Ford 260C vs Ford 545C
The Ford 260C and the Ford 545C are both industrial tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford 260C leads on rated power with 68 hp against 67 hp. Ford 260C is the lighter machine (4,948 kg vs 8,610 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
