Verdict: Massey Ferguson 50D vs Massey Ferguson 50HX
The Massey Ferguson 50D and the Massey Ferguson 50HX are both backhoe loaders — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Massey Ferguson 50HX leads on rated power with 77 hp against 68 hp. Massey Ferguson 50HX is the lighter machine (6,488 kg vs 12,050 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
