Oliver OC-6 vs Oliver Super 88

Verdict: Oliver OC-6 vs Oliver Super 88

The Oliver OC-6 and the Oliver Super 88 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Oliver Super 88 leads on rated power with 47 hp against 45 hp. Oliver Super 88 is the lighter machine (5,000 kg vs 5,565 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
