Ford 445C vs Ford 4500
Verdict: Ford 445C vs Ford 4500
The Ford 445C and the Ford 4500 are both industrial tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford 4500 leads on rated power with 58 hp against 56 hp. Ford 4500 is the lighter machine (4,510 kg vs 8,610 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
