I own Fords and like them so that is what I will recommend. Either a 3000 or 4000 (3 cylinder) would do the tasks you mention. A 4000 will have some advantages over a 3000. One is the brakes. 3000 still used the same style dry drum brakes that were used on the 8Ns. They are adequate, but just. A 4000 will have wet disc brakes and are vastly superior to the dry drum style. Another advantage is more HP. 4000 is rated at 52 hp. 3000 is 38 hp. But a 4000 is a pretty hefty tractor compared to a 3000. 4000 dry weight ~ 4500 lbs wheel base ~ 85" length 137" Height at steering wheel 63"
3000 dry weight ~ 3500 lbs wheel base ~ 76" Length: 127" Height at steering wheel 58"
Both may or may not have differential lock. Both may or may not have power steering 3000 may or may not have live pto 4000 most likely has independent pto Both are nimble and powerful for their size. Parts are readily available - both new and used. A 4000 is a little easier to work on. Both can be had either gas or diesel. Both are reliable, long lived machines. Though some guys love them I would avoid the Select O Speed transmission on both of them.

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
