Introduction
County 754 Agricultural Tractor
The County 754 is a four-wheel-drive agricultural tractor produced between 1968 and 1974. Based on the Ford 5000 platform and manufactured in Fleet, England, this machine was designed to provide enhanced traction and versatility for demanding field operations.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled Ford 256 four-cylinder diesel engine. With a displacement of 4.2 liters, it produces 74 horsepower (55.2 kW) at a rated speed of 2100 RPM. The engine delivers a peak torque of 218.3 lb-ft (296.0 Nm) at 1300 RPM, providing sufficient lugging ability for heavy draft work.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The drivetrain features an eight-speed forward and two-speed reverse transmission. Equipped with four-wheel drive, the tractor utilizes planetary final drives and mechanical differential locks on both the front and rear axles to maintain traction in challenging soil conditions. Braking is managed by wet disc brakes for consistent performance.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is an open-center type, operating at a pressure of 2500 psi (172.4 bar) with a total pump flow of 6 gpm (22.7 lpm). The rear Category II hitch includes top-link draft sensing and offers a lift capacity of 3859 lbs (1750 kg). The independent rear PTO provides two operating speeds: 540 RPM at 1900 engine RPM and 1000 RPM at 2060 engine RPM.
Dimensions and Weight
The County 754 has an operating weight of 11,800 lbs (5352 kg) and a wheelbase of 71.7 inches (182 cm). The tread width for both front and rear axles is adjustable from 68 to 84 inches (172 to 213 cm), allowing the operator to adapt the track width to specific row spacing requirements.
Conclusion
The County 754 serves as a robust solution for farmers requiring the reliable mechanical foundation of a Ford-based tractor combined with the specialized four-wheel-drive configuration developed by County. Its engine torque and traction capabilities make it well-suited for heavy tillage and primary cultivation tasks.
