Last Updated: June 2024

Overview

The Ford Powermaster 841 is a versatile 2WD utility tractor, part of the reputable 801 Powermaster series. Manufactured between 1957 and 1961 in Highland Park, Michigan, this tractor is built for durability and efficiency in various farming tasks. It came with two engine choices: a 2.8 L four-cylinder gasoline or LP-gas engine and a similar displacement diesel engine, giving operators flexibility depending on fuel preferences. Those engines were paired with either a basic unsynchronized gear transmission featuring 4 forward and 1 reverse speed or a Sherman transmission offering 12 forward and 3 reverse speeds. Essential characteristics include manual or optional power steering, differential mechanical expanding shoe brakes, and an open operator station for ease of access and operation. Supporting common farming applications, the Powermaster 841 is fitted with a category-1 three-point hitch with a 1,250 lbs lift capacity and a rear PTO rated at 540 rpm for driving implements. The presence of an open center hydraulic system ensures smooth operation of hydraulic implements. Overall, the robust construction and functional design underpin the Powermaster 841's reputation for reliability in various agricultural duties.
