Ford 8770 vs Ford TW-25

Verdict: Ford 8770 vs Ford TW-25

The Ford 8770 and the Ford TW-25 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford 8770 leads on rated power with 165 hp against 160 hp. Ford TW-25 is the lighter machine (12,267 kg vs 16,600 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
