Ford 530A LCG vs Ford 545A
Verdict: Ford 530A LCG vs Ford 545A
The Ford 530A LCG and the Ford 545A are both industrial tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford 545A leads on rated power with 63 hp against 62 hp. Ford 530A LCG is the lighter machine (1,682 kg vs 5,196 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
