Common questions
Farmall 560 weight FAQ
How much does a Farmall 560 weigh?
The Farmall 560 weighs 6,563 lb (2,976 kg) using the published Operating — gas figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 6,563 to 9,460 lb (2,976 to 4,291 kg).
What is the operating weight of the Farmall 560?
The published operating weight is 6,563–6,785 lb (2,977–3,078 kg). This is usually a more useful real-world figure than a bare shipping specification, although ballast, loader, fuel, implements and tire setup can still increase actual working weight.
How much does the Farmall 560 weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 9,460 lb (4,291 kg). That is up to 2,897 lb (44.1%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the Farmall 560 a lightweight row-crop tractor?
Yes. The representative figure sits at about the 15th percentile, lighter than roughly 85% of the row-crop tractor peers. That puts it in the light range for this comparison. It is 7,443 lb lighter than the peer-group average of 14,006 lb.
How wide is the Farmall 560 for transport?
The maximum published tractor width is 85 in (7.1 ft). That is 17 in under 8.5 ft before allowing for a loader, duals, implements or other equipment that may increase transport width.
What is the Farmall 560 weight-to-horsepower ratio?
Using the page’s representative 6,563 lb weight and 59.5 hp power figure, the tractor carries about 110.3 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.
