Introduction
Ford 876 4WD Tractor
The Ford 876 is a four-wheel drive articulated tractor produced by Ford in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, between 1989 and 1993. Positioned as a high-capacity machine within the 846 series, it was engineered for heavy-duty agricultural applications requiring significant tractive effort.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 10.0-liter, 6-cylinder inline turbocharged diesel engine with an aftercooler. It delivers 280 hp (208.8 kW) at a rated speed of 2100 RPM. The engine produces 895 lb-ft (1213.6 Nm) of torque at 1300 RPM, providing the pulling power necessary for intensive field work. The cooling system has a capacity of 56.5 quarts (53.5 liters), and the engine utilizes a dual dry element air cleaner.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 876 offers two transmission configurations: a 12-speed constant mesh transmission or a 12-speed full power shift. Both options are designed to handle high torque output. The tractor features four-wheel drive with articulated power steering for maneuverability in the field, supported by outboard planetary final drives and a row-crop axle with inboard planetary gears.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is a closed-center, load-sensing type providing a pump flow of 25.2 gpm (95.4 lpm) at a pressure of 2300 psi (158.6 bar). It is equipped with 4 to 5 valves to operate various implements. The rear hitch is a category IVN/III type, featuring position control and a lift capacity of 13,036 lbs (5913 kg) at 24 inches behind the lift point.
Operator Environment and Dimensions
The tractor is equipped with a standard cab featuring integrated air conditioning. With a wheelbase of 130 inches (330 cm) and a total length of 260 inches (660 cm), the machine provides a stable platform for heavy draft tasks. Ground clearance is 16.1 inches (40 cm), and the tractor is supported by hydraulic disc brakes.
Conclusion
The Ford 876 is a heavy-duty articulated tractor designed for large-scale farming operations. Its combination of high torque, substantial hydraulic capacity, and flexible transmission options makes it suitable for demanding tasks such as deep tillage and heavy pulling, maintaining consistent performance under load.
