Verdict: Ford 1120 vs Ford 1215
The Ford 1120 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 15 hp. Ford 1215 is the lighter machine (1,292 kg vs 1,338 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
