Ford 4000 vs Ford 4230

Verdict: Ford 4000 vs Ford 4230

The Ford 4000 and the Ford 4230 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford 4000 leads on rated power with 63 hp against 62 hp. Ford 4000 is the lighter machine (3,162 kg vs 4,871 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
