Ford 1000 vs Ford 1700
Verdict: Ford 1000 vs Ford 1700
The Ford 1000 and the Ford 1700 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford 1700 leads on rated power with 25 hp against 23 hp. Ford 1000 is the lighter machine (1,043 kg vs 2,444 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
