Massey-Harris 22 vs Massey-Harris 50

Verdict: Massey-Harris 22 vs Massey-Harris 50

The Massey-Harris 22 and the Massey-Harris 50 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Massey-Harris 50 leads on rated power with 31 hp against 27 hp. Massey-Harris 22 is the lighter machine (1,328 kg vs 1,556 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
