Common questions
Farmall 340 weight FAQ
How much does a Farmall 340 weigh?
The Farmall 340 weighs 4,735 lb (2,147 kg) using the published Gas Operating figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 4,250 to 7,579 lb (1,927 to 3,437 kg).
What is the operating weight of the Farmall 340 compared with shipping weight?
Published operating weight is 4,735–5,195 lb (2,148–2,356 kg), versus 4,250 lb (1,928 kg) for shipping weight. That is roughly 485 lb (11.4%) 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 340 weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 7,579 lb (3,438 kg). That is up to 3,329 lb (78.3%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the Farmall 340 a lightweight row-crop tractor?
Yes. The representative figure sits at about the 9th percentile, lighter than roughly 91% of the row-crop tractor peers. That puts it in the very light range for this comparison. It is 9,271 lb lighter than the peer-group average of 14,006 lb.
How wide is the Farmall 340 for transport?
The maximum published tractor width is 63.5 in (5.3 ft). That is 38.5 in under 8.5 ft before allowing for a loader, duals, implements or other equipment that may increase transport width.
What is the Farmall 340 weight-to-horsepower ratio?
Using the page’s representative 4,735 lb weight and 47 hp power figure, the tractor carries about 100.7 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.
