Fiat 570 V/E or Ford 4130 (A)?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Ford 4130 (A): hydraulic flow. It is also ahead on top speed.
- The Ford 4130 (A) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 43% (10.7 L/min / 2.8 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Ford 4130 (A) suits road haulage better on this data: 20% (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) more top speed.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “the same stated configuration”. Measured figures are compared only with measured, claimed only with claimed, at the same test condition; differences within each figure’s tolerance are not called.

| Which PTO runs independently of the ground drive? | independentTraktorenlexikon, “Fiat 570 VE/570 VE/DT” | independentTraktorenlexikon, “Ford 4130” | EvenEven on PTO independence: every PTO is independent. |
| Which drives on both axles? | Two-wheel or four-wheel driveTraktorenlexikon, “Fiat 570 VE/570 VE/DT” | 2WD / 4WDTraktorenlexikon, “Ford 4130” | EvenEven on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive. |
| Which is newer, and what about parts? | 1978–1982 | 1990–1996 | Ahead (a fact, not an advantage)The Ford 4130 (A) is newer: production began 12 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts. |
What does this mean in plain words?
- The Ford 4130 (A) has 43% more hydraulic flow (10.7 L/min / 2.8 gpm) than the Fiat 570 V/E (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The Ford 4130 (A) is 42% heavier (832 kg / 1,834 lb) than the Fiat 570 V/E (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Ford 4130 (A) has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the Fiat 570 V/E (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Ford 4130 (A) is newer: production began 12 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on power at the PTO shaft (both power at the PTO, claimed): the difference is under the 10% threshold for claimed figures, too small to call.
- Even on three-point lift (both lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on forward gears (both forward gears, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- Even on PTO independence: every PTO is independent.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, maximum permissible mass and a creeper range.
