Ford 4230

The Ford 4230 is a versatile tractor designed for both orchard/vineyard work and general agricultural tasks. It features a 2WD chassis with power steering, making it easy to maneuver in tight spaces. The tractor is powered by a Fiat diesel engine with four cylinders and a displacement of 220.5 ci, which is above average for its class. This liquid-cooled engine runs at a high 2500 rpm, providing plenty of power for various farm jobs.

The Ford 4230 comes with a gear transmission that has 12 forward and 4 reverse speeds, giving operators good control over their work pace. It has a Category II hitch and an open center hydraulic system, which are standard features for tractors of this size. The tractor's compact size, measuring 138.5 inches long, 57.5 inches wide, and 83.4 inches tall, makes it ideal for working in orchards and vineyards. With an operating weight of 4,871 lb, it's on the lighter side, which helps reduce soil compaction. The tractor is equipped with a ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) for operator safety and uses a 12-volt starter system.
