JD Seller -A Ford 6000 Commander? Dad had a buddy, not really a neighbor, lived about 7-8 miles away, that had a 6000 Commander Select-o-Speed, it was a Red belly. That tractor was solely responsible for selling MORE IH, Deere, Allis, even a Case or two, and Minny and Oliver tractors than any other tractor around. We had a good Oliver & Ford dealer about 18 miles away, but word of mouth about Kenny's Commander kept Everybody else from buying one. Wasn't until the 8000/9000 and newer that you would see a Ford tractor around. Cousin had a 8000 or 8600, can't remember which, couldn't afford another 4020, and he actually liked the Ford.

With the lighter weight per cubic foot they ended up sticking out of the wheels about a foot. Most small loader tractors like 2404 IH, Case 420 Construction King, N-series Fords had home-made concrete blocks hanging on the 3-point to counter-balance the loaders. Sometimes a 55 gallon barrel filled with concrete was used instead. Yard of concrete in mid-1970's when I hauled it was 3800# and about $60.
