Oliver 80 Standard vs Oliver Super 55

Verdict: Oliver 80 Standard vs Oliver Super 55

The Oliver 80 Standard and the Oliver Super 55 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Oliver 80 Standard leads on rated power with 36 hp against 33 hp. Oliver Super 55 is the lighter machine (1,542 kg vs 2,177 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Oliver Super 55 is the newer design (1954 vs 1937). In short: choose the Oliver 80 Standard for outright pulling power, or the Oliver Super 55 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
