How much does a Ford 6600 weigh?

The Ford 6600 weighs 5,880 lb (2,667 kg) using the published Operating — ROPS figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 5,475 to 9,700 lb (2,483 to 4,399 kg).

What is the operating weight of the Ford 6600 compared with shipping weight?

Published operating weight is 5,880–7,020 lb (2,667–3,184 kg), versus 5,475 lb (2,483 kg) for shipping weight. That is roughly 405 lb (7.4%) more than shipping weight. Operating weight is generally the more useful starting point when estimating a ready-to-use tractor.

How much does the Ford 6600 weigh with ballast?

The published ballasted weight is 9,700 lb (4,400 kg). That is up to 4,225 lb (77.2%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.

Is the Ford 6600 heavy or light for a utility tractor?

It is close to average for its peer group. The representative figure sits at about the 64th percentile, near the middle of the utility tractor peers. That puts it in the average range for this comparison. It is 617 lb heavier than the peer-group average of 5,263 lb.

How wide is the Ford 6600 for transport?

The maximum published tractor width is 73.2 in (6.1 ft). That is 28.8 in under 8.5 ft before allowing for a loader, duals, implements or other equipment that may increase transport width.

What is the Ford 6600 weight-to-horsepower ratio?

Using the page’s representative 5,880 lb weight and 75.5 hp power figure, the tractor carries about 77.9 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.
