Ford 5000 (1968-1976)

The Ford 5000 was a popular row crop tractor built from 1968 to 1976. It had a 2-wheel drive system and power steering, making it easy to handle in the fields. The tractor came with an 8-speed forward and 2-speed reverse transmission, giving farmers plenty of options for different tasks.

Under the hood, the Ford 5000 had a 4-cylinder gasoline engine that was liquid-cooled. The engine had a displacement of 256 cubic inches, which was below average for tractors of its time. It produced 67.3 horsepower at 2100 rpm, which was also on the lower end of the power range. Despite this, the tractor was versatile and could handle many farm jobs. It had a PTO (power take-off) system that could run at both 540 and 1000 rpm, allowing it to power various implements. The Ford 5000 also had an open center hydraulic system and could be fitted with a Ford 772 loader for extra functionality.
