Ford 4000 HD vs Ford 445D

Verdict: Ford 4000 HD vs Ford 445D

The Ford 4000 HD and the Ford 445D are both industrial tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford 4000 HD leads on rated power with 63 hp against 62 hp. Ford 4000 HD is the lighter machine (3,631 kg vs 8,610 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Ford 445D is the newer design (1993 vs 1960). In short: choose the Ford 4000 HD for outright pulling power, or the Ford 445D if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
