Ford 9700 vs Ford FW-25

Verdict: Ford 9700 vs Ford FW-25

The Ford 9700 and the Ford FW-25 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 FW-25 is the lighter machine (9,200 kg vs 10,900 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Ford FW-25 holds more fuel (495.1 L vs 219.5 L) for longer stints between fills. Ford FW-25 is the newer design (1986 vs 1977). In short: choose the Ford 9700 for outright pulling power, or the Ford FW-25 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more. Compare the full spec tables below before booking a demo.
