Ford 260C vs Ford 545D
Verdict: Ford 260C vs Ford 545D
The Ford 260C and the Ford 545D 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 66 hp. Ford 260C is the lighter machine (4,948 kg vs 5,015 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Ford 545D is the newer design (1993 vs 1989). In short: choose the Ford 260C for outright pulling power, or the Ford 545D if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
