Common questions
Ford 9N weight FAQ
How much does a Ford 9N weigh?
The Ford 9N weighs 2,900 lb (1,315 kg) using the published Operating figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 2,140 to 3,375 lb (970 to 1,530 kg).
What is the operating weight of the Ford 9N compared with shipping weight?
Published operating weight is 2,900 lb (1,315 kg), versus 2,140 lb (971 kg) for shipping weight. That is roughly 760 lb (35.5%) more than shipping weight. Operating weight is generally the more useful starting point when estimating a ready-to-use tractor.
How much does the Ford 9N weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 3,375 lb (1,531 kg). That is up to 1,235 lb (57.7%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the Ford 9N heavy or light for a utility tractor?
It is close to average for its peer group. The representative figure sits at about the 30th percentile, near the middle of the utility tractor peers. That puts it in the average range for this comparison. It is 2,363 lb lighter than the peer-group average of 5,263 lb.
How wide is the Ford 9N for transport?
The maximum published tractor width is 64 in (5.3 ft). That is 38 in under 8.5 ft before allowing for a loader, duals, implements or other equipment that may increase transport width.
What is the Ford 9N weight-to-horsepower ratio?
Using the page’s representative 2,900 lb weight and 16.3 hp power figure, the tractor carries about 177.8 lb per horsepower. A lower lb/hp number means less tractor mass for each horsepower; this is a comparison metric, not a traction or performance rating.
