The Ford 5900 is a utility tractor that was made from 1985 to 1993. It's a 2WD tractor with power steering, which makes it easy to drive. The tractor has a sliding gear transmission with 8 forward gears and 2 reverse gears, giving the driver good control over speed.
Under the hood, the Ford 5900 has a 4-cylinder diesel engine that doesn't use a turbocharger. The engine is liquid-cooled and has a displacement of 256 cubic inches, which is above average for tractors. It produces 73 horsepower, which is also above average. The tractor weighs 5,760 pounds, making it a mid-weight option. It has a three-point hitch at the back that can lift up to 3,340 pounds, which is very high compared to other tractors. The PTO (Power Take-Off) runs at 540 rpm and is independent, meaning it can be used while the tractor is standing still.
