Introduction
Ford 6710 Agricultural Tractor
The Ford 6710 is a row-crop tractor produced between 1982 and 1987. It serves as a mid-range agricultural machine designed for field operations, sharing engineering lineage with the 6610 and 7610 series.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 4.4-liter, 4-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine. It delivers a gross power output of 82 hp (61.1 kW) and a net power of 78.5 hp (58.5 kW). The engine produces 219 lb-ft (297.0 Nm) of torque at a rated speed of 2100 RPM, providing consistent pulling power for standard cultivation and transport tasks.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 6710 features a Dual Power transmission system, which allows for shift-on-the-move capability. It is available in two configurations: a 16 forward and 4 reverse gear set or a 16 forward and 8 reverse synchromesh variant. Both options utilize a partial power shift mechanism to facilitate gear changes under load.
Hydraulics and Hitch
Equipped with an open-center hydraulic system, the tractor provides a pump flow of 9.7 gpm (36.7 lpm). The rear three-point hitch is categorized as Type II and offers a lift capacity of 4,137 lbs (1876 kg) measured at 24 inches behind the lift point. An independent rear PTO is standard at 540 RPM, with a 540/1000 RPM option available.
Mechanical and Dimensions
The machine is available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations. It features power steering for operator comfort and mechanical wet disc brakes for reliable stopping performance. The wheelbase is 101.6 inches, and the base shipping weight is 6,344 lbs, which can be increased to 9,700 lbs when ballasted for heavy field work.
Conclusion
The Ford 6710 is a versatile utility tractor suited for general farming operations, including plowing, seeding, and transport. Its combination of a mid-range power plant and adaptable transmission gearing makes it a reliable choice for mixed-crop agricultural environments.
