Ford 345D vs Ford 445C

Verdict: Ford 345D vs Ford 445C

The Ford 345D and the Ford 445C 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 345D is the lighter machine (8,520 kg vs 8,610 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
