I really like Ford tractors. I used a Ford 4000 on our sugarcane plantation, it was a beast. My dad bought it brand new around 1967. We sold the farm with the Ford 4000 and it's still in use!

Always liked the look of those tractors

Great video i love my county Ford 1164.

Trevor, I agree, Ford tractors are good ! The German welger, also had a bad knotting system. Knowing the old international b55w history, that was a very good bayler. The Ford shown here, really steals my heart !

Wow, I bet that was fascinating work. Yes it is a shame that Ford sold their tractor operations - wonder what would have happened if they hadn't?

The FW's are beautiful.

My mate ownes the standard FW-60. He bought it without an engine

Forgot to say, the b55w had 56 grease-nipples !...took about an hour to grease them !...this blue- one's do their thing !

amazing

I wondered why Ford stopped building tractors since there are so many out there still being used? After looking at many of the new tractors one would think they could have been making nice equipment still and competing with the competition.

Yes a lot of people think that, but when they sold the farm machinery side of the business to Fiat in 1991 it was very much a case of Ford getting out of everything except the car and light van market! Retrenchment was the order of the day back then

Message to the 8600 driver! - don't think your Load Monitor is working / set up properly !! Great to see and look back at all those oldtimers - is that what some of us really LOOKED like? :-) like a Cat perched on a Chimney can! - Pity that some of the implements weren't properly set up and matched to the machines - Do folks nowadays know what 75 hp can actually do?

Ford tractors were great machines very popular in New Zealand but there hay ballers were total crap. Bad design in the knotters.
