Ford 85 vs Ford LT-75
Verdict: Ford 85 vs Ford LT-75
The Ford 85 and the Ford LT-75 are both lawn tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford 85 leads on rated power with 8 hp against 7 hp. Ford LT-75 is the lighter machine (195 kg vs 199 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Ford LT-75 is the newer design (1973 vs 1970). In short: choose the Ford 85 for outright pulling power, or the Ford LT-75 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
