Ford 545C vs Ford 8400
Verdict: Ford 545C vs Ford 8400
The Ford 545C and the Ford 8400 are both industrial tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford 8400 leads on rated power with 125 hp against 67 hp. Ford 8400 is the lighter machine (5,005 kg vs 8,610 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Ford 545C is the newer design (1990 vs 1968). In short: choose the Ford 8400 for outright pulling power, or the Ford 545C if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
