Common questions
Farmall 544 weight FAQ
How much does a Farmall 544 weigh?
The Farmall 544 weighs 7,195 lb (3,263 kg) using the published Operating figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 6,100 to 8,310 lb (2,766 to 3,769 kg).
What is the operating weight of the Farmall 544 compared with shipping weight?
Published operating weight is 7,195 lb (3,264 kg), versus 6,100–6,300 lb (2,767–2,858 kg) for shipping weight. That is roughly 1,095 lb (18%) 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 544 weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 8,310 lb (3,769 kg). That is up to 2,210 lb (36.2%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the Farmall 544 a lightweight row-crop tractor?
Yes. The representative figure sits at about the 17th percentile, lighter than roughly 83% of the row-crop tractor peers. That puts it in the light range for this comparison. It is 6,811 lb lighter than the peer-group average of 14,006 lb.
How wide is the Farmall 544 for transport?
The maximum published tractor width is 87 in (7.2 ft). That is 15 in under 8.5 ft before allowing for a loader, duals, implements or other equipment that may increase transport width.
What is the Farmall 544 weight-to-horsepower ratio?
Using the page’s representative 7,195 lb weight and 52 hp power figure, the tractor carries about 138.4 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.
