Verdict: Leyland 255 vs Leyland 470
The Leyland 255 and the Leyland 470 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Leyland 470 leads on rated power with 70 hp against 60 hp. Leyland 470 is the lighter machine (3,181 kg vs 5,379 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
