Introduction

Ford 2000 Utility Tractor

The Ford 2000 is a utility tractor produced between 1962 and 1975. This machine was designed for general agricultural applications and shares design characteristics with the earlier 601 Workmaster series. It represents a specific production era distinct from the later three-cylinder 2000 models.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a 144 cubic-inch (2.4 L) four-cylinder diesel engine. This liquid-cooled unit produces a gross power output of 42.7 hp (31.8 kW) at a rated speed of 2200 RPM. The engine delivers a peak torque of 111.3 lb-ft at 1400 RPM, providing steady power for field tasks. An oil-bath air cleaner is utilized for engine protection.

Transmission and PTO

The Ford 2000 offers multiple transmission configurations to suit operational needs, including a standard 4-speed gear, a 5-speed gear, a 10-speed Select-O-Speed full power shift, and an Over-Under auxiliary transmission providing 12 forward and 3 reverse gears. The rear PTO operates at 540 RPM, with live or independent engagement available depending on the chosen transmission type.

Hydraulics and Hitch

The hydraulic system is an open-center type, featuring a pump flow of 4.0 gpm (15.1 lpm) at a system pressure of 2000 psi. It is equipped with two valves for implement control. The tractor features a Category I rear hitch with a lift capacity of 2360 lbs (1070 kg) at the ends, allowing for the operation of standard agricultural implements.

Mechanical and Dimensions

Built on a two-wheel-drive chassis, the Ford 2000 has a wheelbase of 74.5 inches (189 cm) and an overall length of 113.6 inches (288 cm). The utility model weighs approximately 3020 lbs (1369 kg). Steering options include manual utility steering or power steering, and the operator station features an open design.

Conclusion

The Ford 2000 is a versatile utility tractor suited for varied farming operations. Its mechanical simplicity, combined with a range of transmission options and standard hydraulic capabilities, makes it a functional tool for small to medium-scale agricultural work.
