Verdict: Ford 8100 vs Ford 8340

The Ford 8100 and the Ford 8340 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford 8100 leads on rated power with 115 hp against 110 hp. Ford 8100 is the lighter machine (4,117 kg vs 8,684 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
