Verdict: Ford 9600 vs Ford 9700
The Ford 9600 and the Ford 9700 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford 9700 leads on rated power with 136 hp against 135 hp. Ford 9600 is the lighter machine (5,379 kg vs 10,900 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
