Massey Ferguson 1840E vs Massey Ferguson 230
Verdict: Massey Ferguson 1840E vs Massey Ferguson 230
The Massey Ferguson 1840E and the Massey Ferguson 230 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Massey Ferguson 230 leads on rated power with 35 hp against 34 hp. Massey Ferguson 1840E is the lighter machine (1,305 kg vs 3,200 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
