Tbh i wouldnt swap my mf 240 scraper tractor for them. We had a 7000 ford recently lost in a fire. I hated it with a passion, the most hateful tractor i ever drove and they meant to be 1 of the more sought after fords. If thats what fords fans think is a good tractor they must have seriously low expectations

I used to work on a farm had 4 Ford 4000s on scrapers one for each yard brilliant little Tractor for that job drift round lovely but no brakes and rattley doors you don’t want to be sat in one long on the road

Il just never be a ford fan. I can admire a tw or 8830 to look at but thats about as far as it goes

What did you have the 7000 written down on valuation, would be worth a bit.

If it was a field of Massey's that would be something !

It wasnt insured but woulda been worth around 15-20k roughly

Ouch, hope you got your other kit insured, I know insurance is expensive, but it one of those necessary evils. I have a combined one that covers all the tractors.

Mf never had a model of similar hp ever came close to the Ford 7000/7600 in popularity and for years churned out the most dangerous tractors for hills in their multi power models when their rivals were well ahead with oil immersed brakes independent p t o and a gear splitter that held back in high or low, but sure everyone to their own !!

Yes ford had power but they never managed to refine thier draught control compared to a massey even to this day. They also had porous engines that ran from the 000 series right to the 7810 as i know people locally that had bother with both models

When I seen the title I thought, 'Oh, someone comes round and takes them away for you, that's handy'

 

[farenheit]

"what is anticipated to be the biggest dispersal of Ford tractors from one single vendor in the whole of the UK so far this year"

Such a specific record

5000 was always a better tractor...

we had a 5000 and a leyland 384. apart from brakes the leyland was a better tractor. we later had a 7600 with load monitor that was a far better beast.
