Massey Ferguson 40B vs Massey Ferguson 50H
Verdict: Massey Ferguson 40B vs Massey Ferguson 50H
The Massey Ferguson 40B and the Massey Ferguson 50H are both backhoe loaders — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Massey Ferguson 50H leads on rated power with 70 hp against 59 hp. Massey Ferguson 40B is the lighter machine (5,125 kg vs 6,448 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Massey Ferguson 50H is the newer design (1985 vs 1976). In short: choose the Massey Ferguson 50H for outright pulling power, or the Massey Ferguson 40B if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
