Ford 60 vs Ford 70

Verdict: Ford 60 vs Ford 70

The Ford 60 and the Ford 70 are both lawn tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford 70 leads on rated power with 7 hp against 6 hp. Ford 70 is the lighter machine (171 kg vs 175 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Ford 70 holds more fuel (3.8 L vs 1.9 L) for longer stints between fills. In short: choose the Ford 70 for outright pulling power, or the Ford 60 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more. Compare the full spec tables below before booking a demo.
