Overview

The Ford 1215 is a small utility tractor made from 1993 to 1998. It has a 2WD chassis and a hydrostatic transmission, which means it can go forward and backward smoothly without changing gears. The tractor is powered by a Shibaura S723 diesel engine with 3 cylinders. This engine is liquid-cooled and naturally aspirated, producing 16 horsepower at 2500 rpm.

This compact tractor measures 106.3 inches long, 40.9 inches wide, and 80.3 inches tall. It weighs 1292 pounds, which is quite light compared to many other tractors. The Ford 1215 has a three-point hitch at the back, which is useful for attaching various tools. It also has a rear PTO (Power Take-Off) that spins at 540 rpm, allowing it to power different implements. The tractor has an open operator station, meaning there's no cab, and it starts with an electric starter. Its hydraulic system is an open center type, which is common for tractors of this size.
