Ford 4110 (A) or WHITE 2-55?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 4110 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2-55 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Ford 4110 (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 “similar machines”. 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Ford 4110 (A) is 15% heavier (340 kg / 750 lb) than the WHITE 2-55 (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The WHITE 2-55 has 100% more forward gears (8 gears) than the Ford 4110 (A) (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Ford 4110 (A) has 20% more top speed (5.0 km/h / 3.1 mph) than the WHITE 2-55 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 4110 (A) has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 2-55 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the 4110 (A): lift through the full range at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Ford 4110”); the 2-55: lift 610 mm behind the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “White 2-55”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, hydraulic flow, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
