Ford 8600

The Ford 8600 is a powerful row crop tractor that was made from 1972 to 1976. It has a 2-wheel drive system and a strong 6-cylinder diesel engine. The engine is liquid-cooled and has an average displacement of 401 ci. It runs at a very high 2300 rpm, which means it can work hard for long periods.

This tractor is built for serious farming work. It has a partial power shift transmission with 16 forward gears and 4 reverse gears, giving the driver lots of options. The 8600 also has a three-point hitch at the back, which can lift heavy farm tools. It has two PTO speeds - 540 rpm and 1000 rpm - so it can power different kinds of equipment. The tractor is 84.6 inches wide and has big agricultural tires, making it stable in the field. It also has useful features like differential lock and hydrostatic power steering, which make it easier to control.
