Ford 8830 vs Ford FW-35
Verdict: Ford 8830 vs Ford FW-35
The Ford 8830 and the Ford FW-35 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford 8830 leads on rated power with 170 hp against 168 hp. Ford FW-35 is the lighter machine (9,300 kg vs 12,995 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Ford 8830 is the newer design (1990 vs 1986). In short: choose the Ford 8830 for outright pulling power, or the Ford FW-35 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.

Overview
Manufacturer
FordReference
WaltannaReference
The Dual Power transmission provides a 'Powerdrive' low range to the basic constant mesh transmission. A foot switch next to the clutch is used to engage and disengage the mode, and may be switched while the tractor is in motion. A "rabbit" or "turtle" display light on the instrument panel indicates which mode the transmission is selected.Reference
