Ford 860 or UTB Utos 45 E?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 860 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Utos 45 E has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The UTB Utos 45E suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 76% (17.3 L/min / 4.6 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The UTB Utos 45E suits road haulage better on this data: 15% (3.0 km/h / 1.9 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.

- Even on PTO speeds: the same speeds (540 rpm).
- Even on drive: all two-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 860 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the Utos 45 E has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, three-point lift, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
