Volvo 470 vs Volvo T500

Verdict: Volvo 470 vs Volvo T500

The Volvo 470 and the Volvo T500 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Volvo 470 leads on rated power with 79 hp against 61 hp. Volvo T500 is the lighter machine (2,900 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 87.8 L) for longer stints between fills. Volvo T500 is the newer design (1974 vs 1959). In short: choose the Volvo 470 for outright pulling power, or the Volvo T500 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more. Compare the full spec tables below before booking a demo.
