Ford 1710 Tractor Specifications

Specs Hub › Ford › 1710

Complete specifications for the Ford 1710 compact tractor, transcribed from the specifications section of the factory operator's manual (SE4068B). The 1710 is the largest tractor in Ford's 10-series compact range, with an 85.18 cu. in. three-cylinder Shibaura diesel and a twelve-speed transmission. Steering was offered as manual or with hydraulic power assist, and the hydraulic pump capacity differs between those configurations — both figures are given below.
