Ferguson Tractors: 30 vs. 35 the difference five more makes!

Since I had the TO 30 and the TO 35 parked next to each other I thought I'd outline the differences between these two models of the Ferguson Tractor. While they may be difficult for the casual observer to tell apart, there are major differences in these tractors that really separate them by a pretty wide margin. The major improvements on the 35 (and they are major) are live power takeoff, draft and position control on the three point system, six forward and two reverse gears, more horsepower and several more minor items. Back in the day, (for us), one of the biggest advantages was that the 35 can go far slower than the 30 or similar Ford Tractors, and when you are running a transplanter that is huge, trust me.
