The Ford 9700 belongs to the tractor group and is a model from the manufacturer Ford. It is equipped with a six‑cylinder engine with a displacement of 6 582 cm³ and a rated power of 146 hp (107.4 kW) at 2 200 rpm. The torque is 520 Nm. The machine offers a gearbox of 14 V/4 R or 16 V/4 R and a fuel tank capacity of 200 l. Its dimensions are a width of 2 200 mm and a height of 2 949 mm. The shaft speed is 540/1000 rpm and the lift category is Cat II.
With 146 hp and a maximum torque of 520 Nm, the 9700 provides sufficient pulling power for heavy field tasks such as plowing and harrowing. The large 200 l tank allows long operating periods without frequent refuelling, which is advantageous on extensive acreage. The 14‑ or 16‑speed gearbox enables fine speed selection to match varying working conditions, while the shaft speed range of 540/1000 rpm offers flexibility for operating different implements.
The Ford 9700, given its power, torque and size, is suited for large‑scale agricultural operations that require high pulling force and prolonged runtimes. Typical uses include working large field areas, pulling heavy implements and transporting heavy loads within the farm.
Ford – other models: the collective page of tractors outside the named ranges, from the Thousand series through the 10 series to the articulated tractors with Cummins and Caterpillar engines, 10 to 300 kW
This page gathers the Ford tractors the register could not assign to a named range – from small utility tractors of the North American and British plants to the heavy articulated tractors of the Versatile brand, taken over by Ford in the late 1980s. Ford had built farm tractors since 1917, first in Dearborn, from the 1930s also in Dagenham, England; the post-war 600 to 900 models led in 1965 into the Thousand series (2000, 3000, 4000, 5000), replaced in 1975 by the generation with a leading 0. From 1981 came the 10 series (2110 to 8210), in which the first two digits give the size and the last the generation; SU marks the narrow-track Utility version. The big articulated tractors, formerly built under the Versatile name in Winnipeg, ran from 1987 as the Ford FW with Cummins and Caterpillar engines; after the merger with New Holland in 1991 the independent Ford range ended.

The register lists here 237 versions with 9.7 to 300 kW from two- to eight-cylinders of 1,390 to 14,801 cm³, PTO outputs up to 163 hp, unladen weights from 1,061 to 14,200 kg, gross weights from 2,280 to 11,400 kg, lengths from 2,410 to 7,600 mm and widths from 1,070 to 2,845 mm; the engines are mostly Ford's own, Cummins and Caterpillar in the big articulated tractors.
For decades Ford was, alongside International Harvester, Massey Ferguson and John Deere, one of the best-selling tractor brands of North America and Europe, focused on utility tractors for family farms; the FW-range articulated tractors competed in the top power segment with Steiger and Case IH.
On used tractors, engine condition, clutch and gearbox synchros count on the older ranges, hydraulics and electrics on the 10 series, and on the articulated tractors operating hours, condition of the four-wheel drive and tyres, and parts supply for the Cummins or Caterpillar engines, which today runs outside the Ford network.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
