The Ford 1000 is a small utility tractor made from 1973 to 1976. It has a 2WD chassis and a gear transmission with 9 forward and 3 reverse speeds. The tractor is powered by a Shibaura LE892 diesel engine with 2 cylinders and 25 horsepower. This engine is liquid-cooled and naturally aspirated, with a below-average displacement of 77.6 cubic inches.
At 2,300 pounds, the Ford 1000 is a lightweight tractor, making it easy to maneuver. It features a Category I hitch and a 540 rpm PTO, which is common for tractors of this size. The open center hydraulic system and optional two-post ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) add to its versatility. With agricultural tires and a mechanical rear differential lock, this tractor is well-suited for various farm tasks. The compact size, with a length of 100.8 inches and height of 54.3 inches, allows it to work in tight spaces.
