Ford 9700 vs Ford TW-15
Verdict: Ford 9700 vs Ford TW-15
The Ford 9700 and the Ford TW-15 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford TW-15 leads on rated power with 140 hp against 136 hp. Ford 9700 is the lighter machine (10,900 kg vs 11,355 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Ford TW-15 is the newer design (1983 vs 1977). In short: choose the Ford TW-15 for outright pulling power, or the Ford 9700 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
