Common questions
Farmall Super MD weight FAQ
How much does a Farmall Super MD weigh?
The Farmall Super MD weighs 5,725 lb (2,596 kg) using the published Operating figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 5,725 to 9,338 lb (2,596 to 4,235 kg).
What is the operating weight of the Farmall Super MD compared with shipping weight?
Published operating weight is 5,725 lb (2,597 kg), versus 5,770 lb (2,617 kg) for shipping weight. That is roughly 45 lb (0.8%) less than shipping weight. Operating weight is generally the more useful starting point when estimating a ready-to-use tractor.
How much does the Farmall Super MD weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 9,338 lb (4,236 kg). That is up to 3,613 lb (63.1%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the Farmall Super MD a lightweight row-crop tractor?
Yes. The representative figure sits at about the 11th percentile, lighter than roughly 89% of the row-crop tractor peers. That puts it in the light range for this comparison. It is 8,281 lb lighter than the peer-group average of 14,006 lb.
How wide is the Farmall Super MD for transport?
The maximum published tractor width is 84.5 in (7 ft). That is 17.5 in under 8.5 ft before allowing for a loader, duals, implements or other equipment that may increase transport width.
What is the Farmall Super MD weight-to-horsepower ratio?
Using the page’s representative 5,725 lb weight and 47.5 hp power figure, the tractor carries about 120.5 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.
