Ford 8670 vs Ford 9700
Verdict: Ford 8670 vs Ford 9700
The Ford 8670 and the Ford 9700 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford 8670 leads on rated power with 148 hp against 136 hp. Ford 9700 is the lighter machine (10,900 kg vs 15,800 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
