Massey Ferguson 1739E vs Massey Ferguson 231
Verdict: Massey Ferguson 1739E vs Massey Ferguson 231
The Massey Ferguson 1739E and the Massey Ferguson 231 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Massey Ferguson 231 leads on rated power with 34 hp against 33 hp. Massey Ferguson 231 is the lighter machine (1,843 kg vs 2,756 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
