Introduction
Ford 2610 Utility Tractor
The Ford 2610 is a utility tractor produced between 1982 and 1983. It belongs to a lineage of Ford agricultural machinery, sharing design elements with series such as the 2310, 2600, 3610, and 2910. This model was designed to serve as a versatile platform for standard field and property maintenance tasks.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 3-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with a displacement of 158 cubic inches (2.6 liters). It delivers a rated power of 33 hp (24.6 kW) and a gross power of 35.5 hp (26.5 kW) at 2000 rated RPM. While gasoline engines were available during the 1982 model year, subsequent production shifted exclusively to diesel. The engine produces a maximum torque of 100.5 lb-ft (136.3 Nm) at 1350 RPM.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The Ford 2610 features a two-wheel drive configuration. Two transmission options were offered: a dual-range transmission providing 8 forward and 2 reverse gears, or a synchromesh transmission offering 8 forward and 4 reverse gears. Steering is managed via a power-assist system, and the tractor is equipped with drum brakes.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system utilizes a pump with a flow rate of 8.5 gpm (32.2 lpm) at a pressure of 2500 psi (172.4 bar). The steering circuit operates with a flow of 3.6 gpm (13.6 lpm). The rear PTO is a live type running at 540 RPM. The rear Category I hitch provides a lift capacity of 1,975 lbs (895 kg) measured at 24 inches behind the lift point.
Dimensions and Weight
The tractor is built on a 75.8-inch (192 cm) wheelbase with a total length of 126.5 inches (321 cm). It maintains a ground clearance of 12.6 inches (32 cm). The shipping weight is 3,475 lbs (1576 kg), which can increase to 6,000 lbs (2721 kg) when fully ballasted. It is equipped with a two-post ROPS for operator protection.
Conclusion
The Ford 2610 is a compact utility tractor designed for general agricultural work. Its combination of live hydraulics, multiple transmission configurations, and adjustable tread widths makes it suitable for various implements and field conditions typical of small to medium-sized operations from the early 1980s.
