Ford 8530 vs TW5

WiscoFord · Dec 27, 2022

Looking for input between a Ford 8530 and TW5? Both are 4 wheel or MFWD. Both look to be in pretty good shape with low(ish) hours. The TW5 has a couple thousand more hours. I know the TW5 is listed for more hp. Both are priced around $27,000
I have a Ford 8700 2wd but looking to add 4 wheel drive tractor
Thanks

8530 was the replacement for the TW5. If I
remember correctly, the power shift
transmission was not available in the
8530, so it would be essentially the same
as a TW5. Both were rated at 105 h.p.

The Ford TW5 and the 8530 were the same tractor manufactured at the Antwerp Belgium plant. Nebraska Tractor Test #1514 includes both tractors as one. The test was
conducted between April 26 and May 16 of 1984 on the TW5 and then a supplumental sales certificate was issued for the 8530 in July of 1990 as it was the same tractor as
the TW5.
