Introduction
Ford 4000 Utility and Row-Crop Tractor
The Ford 4000 is a series of tractors produced between 1962 and 1975, representing a significant evolution in Ford's agricultural machinery lineup. Positioned as a versatile utility tractor, it was manufactured in Highland Park, Michigan, and designed to succeed earlier models like the 801 and 901 series.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Ford 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with a displacement of 172 cubic inches (2.8 liters). It produces 62 horsepower and generates a peak torque of 140.4 lb-ft (190.4 Nm) at 1400 RPM. The engine features an 8.65:1 compression ratio and a 1-2-4-3 firing order, optimized for steady agricultural work.
Transmission and PTO
The Ford 4000 offers high flexibility through various transmission options, including basic 4-speed and 5-speed gear transmissions, as well as the advanced Select-O-Speed full power shift transmission providing 10 forward and 2 reverse gears. The rear PTO system is available in 540 RPM or dual 540/1000 RPM configurations, featuring both live and independent engagement options to suit specific implement requirements.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system utilizes an open-center design with a pump flow capacity of 5.4 gpm (20.4 lpm). The rear hitch is categorized as Type I/II, providing a lift capacity of 2,360 lbs (1,070 kg) at the ends, which allows for the operation of a wide range of standard mounted implements.
Mechanical and Dimensions
Built on a two-wheel-drive chassis, the tractor is available in both utility and row-crop configurations. The wheelbase measures 84.5 inches (214 cm). Steering options include manual utility steering or power steering, the latter being particularly beneficial for row-crop applications. Depending on the configuration, the weight ranges from 3,162 lbs (1,434 kg) to 3,502 lbs (1,588 kg).
Conclusion
The Ford 4000 is a robust and flexible tractor designed for general farm duties. Its variety of transmission choices and reliable hydraulic system make it well-suited for farmers requiring a dependable machine for cultivation, traction, and implement operation.
