Ford 4400 vs Ford 540A
Verdict: Ford 4400 vs Ford 540A
The Ford 4400 and the Ford 540A are both industrial tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford 540A leads on rated power with 59 hp against 58 hp. Ford 540A is the lighter machine (12 kg vs 4,483 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
