Ford 1100 vs Ford 1215

Verdict: Ford 1100 vs Ford 1215

The Ford 1100 and the Ford 1215 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford 1215 leads on rated power with 16 hp against 13 hp. Ford 1100 is the lighter machine (1,231 kg vs 1,292 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
