Ford 8000 vs Ford 8700
Verdict: Ford 8000 vs Ford 8700
The Ford 8000 and the Ford 8700 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford 8700 leads on rated power with 111 hp against 106 hp. Ford 8000 is the lighter machine (4,526 kg vs 9,800 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
