Ford 1620 vs Ford 1700

Verdict: Ford 1620 vs Ford 1700

The Ford 1620 and the Ford 1700 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford 1620 leads on rated power with 27 hp against 25 hp. Ford 1620 is the lighter machine (2,233 kg vs 2,444 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
