What's heavier? 400 Tranny/Rear vs. 900 Tranny/Rear?

Lamont · Nov 28, 2012

Anyone ever weighed to compare the two? I wonder which is heavier from the engine back. Also, has anyone ever weighed the PTO/Hydraulic unit off of either one? Of course, I'm talking about the "big" 400. Thanks for any ideas/info.

The 900 would be much heavier both in weight and strength. 900 would be a 6 speed with the chain drive, and the 400 would be the 8 speed that has a bull gear drive rear. The PTO housing with the Hyd pump would be almost identical in weight if the 400 Eagle Hitch is removed.

Actually, if you take off all the cast and weld a plate to the axle for steel wheels the 900 would be very similar if not lighter. Got my 930 wheatland down to 6500# with the stock block. Be hard to get a 400 much lighter.

Nebraska test stripped down weight of 400 diesel was 6390 lb. with operator.
