Ford 1510 vs Ford 1520
Verdict: Ford 1510 vs Ford 1520
The Ford 1510 and the Ford 1520 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford 1520 leads on rated power with 23 hp against 22 hp. Ford 1510 is the lighter machine (1,040 kg vs 2,156 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Ford 1520 is the newer design (1987 vs 1983). In short: choose the Ford 1520 for outright pulling power, or the Ford 1510 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
