Volvo 2250 vs Volvo 470

Verdict: Volvo 2250 vs Volvo 470

The Volvo 2250 and the Volvo 470 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Volvo 470 leads on rated power with 79 hp against 56 hp. Volvo 2250 is the lighter machine (3,279 kg vs 3,360 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Volvo 470 holds more fuel (110.1 L vs 85.2 L) for longer stints between fills. Volvo 2250 is the newer design (1978 vs 1959). In short: choose the Volvo 470 for outright pulling power, or the Volvo 2250 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more. Compare the full spec tables below before booking a demo.
