Verdict: Ford 4830 vs Ford 6000
The Ford 4830 and the Ford 6000 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford 6000 leads on rated power with 66 hp against 65 hp. Ford 6000 is the lighter machine (6,500 kg vs 6,527 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
