Verdict: Ford 655D vs Ford 7500
The Ford 655D and the Ford 7500 are both backhoe loaders — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford 7500 leads on rated power with 93 hp against 82 hp. Ford 655D is the lighter machine (1,488 kg vs 7,529 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
