Verdict: Massey Ferguson 1160 vs Massey Ferguson 135 Special
The Massey Ferguson 1160 and the Massey Ferguson 135 Special are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Massey Ferguson 135 Special leads on rated power with 38 hp against 37 hp. Massey Ferguson 135 Special is the lighter machine (1,394 kg vs 1,745 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
