Read articles →A dealer walkaround comparing the 4540 and 4550 side by side, covering the key differences (horsepower, rear remotes, rear work light), loader lift capacity and breakout force, exact machine weights from a spec sheet, transmission layout, Cat 1/2 hitch, no-regen engine, and current price range in the high $20K to mid-$30K range. No live operation shown, but the spec depth and honest model comparison make it useful for shoppers still deciding between the two variants.
A dealership channel (Orchard Hill Farm Equipment), so the walkaround has a sales orientation and closes with financing offers and a phone number.
The 4550 has about 48-49 horsepower versus 41 horsepower on the 4540, and only the 4550 includes rear remotes and a rear work light. Otherwise they share the same loader, front end, and rear end.
The loader lifts right under 2,900 lbs, 2,866 lbs to the pivot pin at full height, with a breakout force just below 5,000 lbs.
Without ballast, the tractor itself weighs 5,192 lbs and the loader weighs about 1,400 lbs, according to the spec sheet.
No, the engine is a four-cylinder Mahindra common rail diesel with a diesel oxidation catalyst, requiring no regen and no DEF fluid.
