The TW series placed Ford in the large-tractor segment against competitors such as Case IH and Deutz-Fahr, and against its own Versatile subsidiary, which fitted the same six-cylinder engine in parallel into its articulated FW models. In Europe and North America, TW tractors were used chiefly in mixed farming and contracting, where the robust drivetrain and comparatively simple hydraulics were valued.

When buying a used TW, the key points are the condition of the clutch and gearbox, as the series' mechanical transmissions wear under high drawbar loads, plus seals and turbocharger of the six-cylinder engine, the hydraulic pump and lines, and corrosion on mudguards and cab; engine and drivetrain parts remain available through New Holland parts channels, as the series is technically related to later Ford and New Holland ranges.
