Ford TW-20 weight FAQ
How much does a Ford TW-20 weigh?
The Ford TW-20 weighs 12,250 lb (5,556 kg) using the primary published weight figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 12,250 to 18,000 lb (5,556 to 8,164 kg).
How much does the Ford TW-20 weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 18,000 lb (8,165 kg). That is up to 5,750 lb (46.9%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the Ford TW-20 heavy or light for a row-crop tractor?
It is close to average for its peer group. The representative figure sits at about the 42nd percentile, near the middle of the row-crop tractor peers. That puts it in the average range for this comparison. It is 1,756 lb lighter than the peer-group average of 14,006 lb.
Is the Ford TW-20 wider than 8.5 feet?
Yes. The maximum published width is 104.3 in (8.7 ft), which is 2.3 in wider than 8.5 ft. Actual transport width still depends on wheel/tire spacing and installed equipment.
Does the Ford TW-20 weigh more than 10,000 lb?
Yes. The representative published weight is 12,250 lb, and the heaviest published configuration on this page is 18,000 lb (9 US tons). Any trailer calculation also needs the trailer itself plus fuel, ballast, attachments and other equipment.
What is the Ford TW-20 weight-to-horsepower ratio?
Using the page’s representative 12,250 lb weight and 157.1 hp power figure, the tractor carries about 78 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.
