Introduction

Ford 1120 Compact Utility Tractor

The Ford 1120 is a compact utility tractor produced between 1987 and 1993. Manufactured in Japan by Shibaura, this model was designed for small-scale agricultural tasks, grounds maintenance, and general property management. It belongs to the 1120 series and was available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations.

Engine Specifications

The tractor is powered by the Shibaura S723, a 3-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine. It features a displacement of 53.6 cubic inches (0.9 liters) and a bore and stroke of 72 x 72 mm. The engine provides a gross power output of 14.7 hp (11.0 kW) and a net power of 14 hp (10.4 kW) at a rated speed of 2500 RPM. It utilizes a 23:1 compression ratio and follows a 1-2-3 firing order.

Transmission and Hydraulics

Operators have the choice between two transmission types: a gear-driven unit with 9 forward and 3 reverse speeds, or a hydrostatic transmission offering an infinite range of speeds across two ranges. The hydraulic system is of an open-center type, delivering a pump flow of 4.7 gpm (17.8 lpm). The rear hitch is a Category I type, capable of lifting up to 1406 lbs (637 kg) at the link ends.

Power Take-Off (PTO)

The 1120 is equipped with a live rear PTO operating at 540 RPM. An optional mid-mounted PTO is also available, providing a standard speed of 2000 RPM, which increases the machine's utility when operating implements such as mid-mount mowers.

Chassis and Dimensions

Built on a 55.3-inch wheelbase, the tractor features a width of 40.9 inches. The 2WD model has a shipping weight of 1338 lbs, while the 4WD version weighs 1429 lbs. Safety is managed via a two-post Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and expanding shoe brakes. Steering is manual by default, with power steering available as an option on hydrostatic models produced after 1989.

Conclusion

"The Ford 1120 is a versatile compact tractor well-suited for light-duty agricultural work and property maintenance. Its combination of a reliable Shibaura diesel engine, flexible transmission options, and compact dimensions makes it an effective tool for operators requiring maneuverability in confined spaces."
