Ford FW-20 vs Ford TW-35
Verdict: Ford FW-20 vs Ford TW-35
The Ford FW-20 and the Ford TW-35 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford FW-20 leads on rated power with 210 hp against 192 hp. Ford FW-20 is the lighter machine (13,433 kg vs 13,686 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Ford TW-35 is the newer design (1983 vs 1977). In short: choose the Ford FW-20 for outright pulling power, or the Ford TW-35 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
