I worked there from September1969 to September 1977 first as the last 3 years of my apprenticeship then as a trade's person in the Tool room and then the Cranks and conrods maintenance area, they were some of the best of my working years especially with the people i worked with. I emigrated to Canada in the September of 1977 and what i learnt from the Ford Trade School and Tractor Plant proved very useful in the years after.

Ford name should never have been lost in tractors

I have a 1966 4000 made in England. Incredible tractor today.

It is 2021 and I am still working with more than 50th years old Ford tractors

My tractor ford 4610 Force 2 best tractor high quality old is gold zero maintenance 1988 to 2021

A big thank you from France! We see that the workers loved their work, it was a team of enthusiasts. The cessation of production of Ford tractors is experienced as mourning, model 4000 from 1975 and 7610mk1 still in activity in 2024... and like many I hope that tomorrow will be a better world and that we will be able to see the return of tractors Ford produces chains as in Basildon before 1991. Already the recent return of Ford trucks looks promising with the new s-max 500 which takes over the activity of the old Cargo and Transcontinental models which were discontinued at the same time as our tractor.

I like ford tractors

Cool video!

Prettiest tractors ever made - especially the 8630 and 7810 . 😐

Yes....that blue colour with the white rims had such a beautiful contrast and the iconic lights at the front. I hear you about the 8630....it was an absolute beast and the sound of that engine was incredible. Don't make them like they used to.

No….Margaret Thatcher would have killed them off before they took that title…but they were the greatest tractor in my opinion…did my farm apprenticeship in New Zealand in the 70’s on one of the very first Ford 7000’s that came into the country…run rings around the David Brown 990 on the neighbour’s farm

you know it was the usa CEOs that stopped making things like tractors in the states... shame on you people... then get mad at where they are now made? who can you trust...:/..?

Don’t know if it was a good decision from Fiat to choose the name New Holland over Ford !!! New Holland these days isn’t a bad name id say 🤔
