Introduction
Ford FW-35: 4WD Agricultural Tractor
The Ford FW-35 is a heavy-duty four-wheel drive tractor, produced between 1986 and 1988 by Waltanna in Tarrington, Victoria, Australia. As part of the FW-25 series, it was designed for demanding agricultural traction tasks.
Engine and Performance
The machine is powered by a 6-cylinder, liquid-cooled diesel engine with a displacement of 401 cubic inches (6.6 liters). It delivers 195 horsepower (145.4 kW) at a rated speed of 2200 RPM. The engine produces a maximum torque of 512 lb-ft (694.3 Nm) at 1600 RPM, providing the necessary pulling force for heavy implements.

It includes three valves to support external hydraulic functions. The rear hitch is a Category III type with a lift capacity of 15,124 lbs (6,860 kg), and the rear PTO operates at a constant 1000 RPM at 1920 engine RPM.
