956 is a great tractor. It does have problems like all tractors. The handbrake is a band in the gearbox if it doesnt work chances are the band is now floating round the box in little bits. It mainly effects the 4wd opperation especially if its the later solenoid operated 4wd and it normaly stops it coming out of 4wd. If its stuck in 4wd its a strip down. All it takes to knacker the brake band is too drive for a short time having forgotten to take the handbrake off. Out of the two the 956 is a probably a better tractor, although they are different. The Ford is much bigger and is too high for forestry it feels like you are going to fall over when you drive it on anything rough or a side slope.

Cheers for the info ! It will be just a yard tractor mainly . The 956 would be my choice but the TW looks the business . 956 has the big lever for the 4wd I have used it to lead corn with before so know a bit about it .

I would go with the 956, had my first harvest carting on one of these and loved it! Plenty of grunt and a good lock. Overall a good simple tractor.

Old Fords have a problem with the block going porous, I would steer clear of that. No experience of the alternative, its all John Deere here except my MF135.
