Yes a big jump when you go to a Ford 5000 from a Ford 4000, DOWN. The 4000 is a way better tractor. I have had both and I know. And I would tell you to stay away from the 3 cylinder 4000 models as they are hard to work on as well as parts are harder to get and way more costly. DO NOT BUY ONE WITH THE INDEPENDANT PTO, very dangerous if you put on a mower for someone not familuar with tractor driving as the 3 cylinder 4000 are, Same thing with the 5000. Stay with a 4 cylinder 4000 or the forerunner 860 or 861 with the 5 speed and 2 stage clutch for live pto. For a novice if you put on a mower if you have to make a panic stop of tractor and mower to stop everything same as you would in a stick shift car if something unexpeitly show up in front of you. With that indepensant on the newer tractors you have to remember you have to clutches you have to hit together to stop. I wish that the 4 cylinder is what I had instead of the 3 cylinder. Would have been better for a lot of the heavy farm jobs. For what you want get one with the 28" rear wheels and most of the 3 cylinder models have 38" rear wheels and the 5000 was not made with 28" rear wheels and the 38" wheels mean a higher tractor that you DO NOT want or should have. I have used those tractors over thousands of acres along with Ford 9N, 2N, Naa and Ferguson TO-30 using pto with NO live PTO and did not miss it but those are what I grew up on and was used to them so if ever a chance you will want a mower get that 2 stage clutch. I am talking for your safty here as it is way safer the the independant PTO. Same with the lower tractor.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
