Farmall 706 weight FAQ
How much does a Farmall 706 weigh?
The Farmall 706 weighs 8,285 lb (3,758 kg) using the published Operating — 263 gas figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 7,530 to 10,710 lb (3,415 to 4,858 kg).
What is the operating weight of the Farmall 706 compared with shipping weight?
Published operating weight is 8,285–9,160 lb (3,758–4,155 kg), versus 7,530–7,780 lb (3,416–3,529 kg) for shipping weight. That is roughly 755 lb (10%) more than shipping weight. Operating weight is generally the more useful starting point when estimating a ready-to-use tractor.
How much does the Farmall 706 weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 10,710 lb (4,858 kg). That is up to 3,180 lb (42.2%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the Farmall 706 a lightweight row-crop tractor?
Yes. The representative figure sits at about the 21st percentile, lighter than roughly 79% of the row-crop tractor peers. That puts it in the light range for this comparison. It is 5,721 lb lighter than the peer-group average of 14,006 lb.
How wide is the Farmall 706 for transport?
The maximum published tractor width is 92 in (7.7 ft). That is 10 in under 8.5 ft before allowing for a loader, duals, implements or other equipment that may increase transport width.
Does the Farmall 706 weigh more than 10,000 lb?
Some configurations do. The representative published weight is 8,285 lb, and the heaviest published configuration on this page is 10,710 lb (5.36 US tons). Any trailer calculation also needs the trailer itself plus fuel, ballast, attachments and other equipment.
