Foton 404 vs Foton 500
Verdict: Foton 404 vs Foton 500
The Foton 404 and the Foton 500 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Foton 500 leads on rated power with 46 hp against 37 hp. Foton 404 is the lighter machine (1,920 kg vs 2,980 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
