Common questions
Farmall 966 weight FAQ
How much does a Farmall 966 weigh?
The Farmall 966 weighs 11,116 lb (5,042 kg) using the published Operating — gear figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 11,116 to 13,500 lb (5,042 to 6,123 kg).
How much does the hydrostatic Farmall 966 weigh compared with the gear-drive version?
The published hydrostatic weight is 11,700 lb (5,307 kg), while gear-drive configurations are 11,116 lb (5,042 kg). The exact difference depends on drivetrain as well as transmission, so the configuration table above is the safest like-for-like reference.
What is the operating weight of the Farmall 966?
The published operating weight is 11,116–11,700 lb (5,042–5,307 kg). This is usually a more useful real-world figure than a bare shipping specification, although ballast, loader, fuel, implements and tire setup can still increase actual working weight.
How much does the Farmall 966 weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 13,500 lb (6,123 kg). That is up to 2,384 lb (21.4%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the Farmall 966 heavy or light for a row-crop tractor?
It is close to average for its peer group. The representative figure sits at about the 34th percentile, near the middle of the row-crop tractor peers. That puts it in the average range for this comparison. It is 2,890 lb lighter than the peer-group average of 14,006 lb.
How wide is the Farmall 966 for transport?
The maximum published tractor width is 98 in (8.2 ft). That is 4 in under 8.5 ft before allowing for a loader, duals, implements or other equipment that may increase transport width.
