Eurodeere Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 The TW35 had the addition of an intercooler giving an extra 34 hp. All other characteristics are the same between the TW35 and TW25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archbarch Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 i will find my brochures out, the TW15 was shorter in overall length but not sure about differance in wheelbase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughmaster Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 The 4WD versions of the TW15 and TW 25 had the same wheelbase, but the TW35 had a beefier 4WD and front axle which resulted in a longer wheelbase (by about 5 or 6 inches I think). edit: from the brochure: TW15(132hp DIN): Length (to end of lower links) = 4460mm Wheelbase = 2668mm Ground Clearance (front axle) = 501mm Weight (unballasted) = 6160kg TW25 (154hp DIN): Length (to end of lower links) = 4849mm Wheelbase = 2668mm Ground Clearance (front axle) = 501mm Weight (unballasted) = 6300kg TW35 (186hp DIN): Length (to end of lower links) =4849mm Wheelbase = 2813mm Ground Clearance (front axle) = 490mm Weight (unballasted) = 6890kg All had the same size front wheels/tyres (14.9x28) but the TW15 and TW25 had 18.4x38 on the rear whilst the TW35 had 20.3x 38.

Eurodeere Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Ploughmaster Are you sure about your data, for me the TW10 and TW20 were the same with the TW30 being longer. The TW25 and TW35 were identical for me, Konedata and Tractordata confirm this. Could your brochure contain a typing error? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archbarch Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 TW15 and TW25 had the same wheelbase 105 inches. TW35 110.7 inches Overall length TW15 175.6 inches 25 and 35 190.9 inches The TW15 and 25 was also available in 2wd form but only 4wd for the 35 TW force II is different TW15 wheelbase 2667mm 105 inches Overall length 4586mm 180.5 inches TW25/35 wheelbase 2813mm 110.7 inches Length 4854mm 191.1 inches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes [img alt=]http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/Smileys/default/wink.gif I don't think Ford would have put such a glaring error in the official brochure for the TW range (and archbarch has confirmed the figures, albeit he has quoted them in inches as opposed to mm). It appears that the later versions were altered, (I only have the brochure for the earlier incarnation . I imagine the Force II TW25 gained the bigger, stronger TW30/35 front axle at that time, hence the longer wheelbase. You are right, the TW10 and TW20 were pretty much the same tractor/skid unit. The TW20 however suffered from a distinct lack of fuel capacity, and if working hard from 7am, would need fuelling by around 4pm or it would run dry by 5pm (I speak from experience!). Quite a few TW20's had extra tanks added, and when Ford revamped the range, they took the TW20 and added the longer tombstone and front fuel tank (and bonnet) from the TW30 to give it sufficient capacity to run all day long (90 gallons if I remember right). Underneath it was still basically an uprated TW20 though, and had the same wheelbase as a TW20, although the overall length was now the same as the TW35.
