Ford FW-35 vs Ford TW-25

Verdict: Ford FW-35 vs Ford TW-25

The Ford FW-35 and the Ford TW-25 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Ford FW-35 leads on rated power with 168 hp against 160 hp. Ford FW-35 is the lighter machine (9,300 kg vs 12,267 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Ford FW-35 is the newer design (1986 vs 1983). In short: choose the Ford FW-35 for outright pulling power, or the Ford TW-25 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
