I have found a reasonable Ford 4000. It will be used for small jobs as part of my contracting business, but with a view to handing it down to my son when he is old enough. I would like to find a range of implements for it, what would have been used back in the day?

We only had one tractor back then, so yes....it spent the winter with a scraper on, and the summer with a forage harvester on.

well it is handy to have something that will start every day without fuss so yes you may have a point there, or even something with a perkins in it maybe

with regards to ploughs....TS90 new theme would be suitable? Very early Lely powerharrow with straight tines, no leveling board and the light crumbler on the back?

That's curious, why do you have the number of a mental health care facility?
