Ford 1500 vs Ford 1510

Verdict: Ford 1500 vs Ford 1510

The Ford 1500 and the Ford 1510 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford 1510 leads on rated power with 22 hp against 20 hp. Ford 1510 is the lighter machine (1,040 kg vs 2,144 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Ford 1510 is the newer design (1983 vs 1979). In short: choose the Ford 1510 for outright pulling power, or the Ford 1500 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
