Ford 3910 vs Ford 4030

Verdict: Ford 3910 vs Ford 4030

The Ford 3910 and the Ford 4030 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford 4030 leads on rated power with 51 hp against 50 hp. Ford 3910 is the lighter machine (4,615 kg vs 4,662 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
