Ford 555C vs Ford 555D
Verdict: Ford 555C vs Ford 555D
The Ford 555C and the Ford 555D are both backhoe loaders — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford 555D leads on rated power with 72 hp against 71 hp. Ford 555C is the lighter machine (6,418 kg vs 13,157 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Ford 555D is the newer design (1993 vs 1989). In short: choose the Ford 555D for outright pulling power, or the Ford 555C if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
