Verdict: Ford 4000SU vs Ford 4630

The Ford 4000SU and the Ford 4630 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford 4000SU leads on rated power with 57 hp against 55 hp. Ford 4000SU is the lighter machine (4,272 kg vs 5,194 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
