Common questions
Farmall 240 weight FAQ
How much does a Farmall 240 weigh?
The Farmall 240 weighs 3,763 lb (1,706 kg) using the published Operating figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 3,340 to 6,085 lb (1,515 to 2,760 kg).
What is the operating weight of the Farmall 240 compared with shipping weight?
Published operating weight is 3,763 lb (1,707 kg), versus 3,340 lb (1,515 kg) for shipping weight. That is roughly 423 lb (12.7%) more than shipping weight. Operating weight is generally the more useful starting point when estimating a ready-to-use tractor.
How much does the Farmall 240 weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 6,085 lb (2,760 kg). That is up to 2,745 lb (82.2%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the Farmall 240 a lightweight row-crop tractor?
Yes. The representative figure sits at about the 5th percentile, lighter than roughly 95% of the row-crop tractor peers. That puts it in the very light range for this comparison. It is 10,243 lb lighter than the peer-group average of 14,006 lb.
What is the Farmall 240 weight-to-horsepower ratio?
Using the page’s representative 3,763 lb weight and 27.6 hp power figure, the tractor carries about 136.2 lb per horsepower. A lower lb/hp number means less tractor mass for each horsepower; this is a comparison metric, not a traction or performance rating.
How many tons does the Farmall 240 weigh?
The representative published weight is about 1.88 US tons, while the full published range is 1.67–3.04 US tons. Loaded transport weight can be higher than the tractor specification.
