Makes you think doesn’t it? 400 acres with 5(?) furrows and a 5000 in 7 days. Without going back and watching it again what did they do with the 7710 and 6 furrows? I think that was only 6 days though. I think we are all over tractored.....Commentary by Sir Cholmondley Warner- Smyth.
Got two of those myself. One is a 6410 ( I think ) with a Jersey reg' number. Other one could be a 5610 with the square, flat roofed cab. Only one of them I've seen with that cab.
I think I need an ebay holiday.
2 AP cabbed ones here, 2wd 6610 and 4wd 6410. Other one is 7810 (Blue) that I want to buy back.
That's the one, the 2wd one.
Next year you set a rig in the furrow where you finished in the middle this year, IYSWIM.
I've had my eye on that. I want a hedgecutter. I want a classic Ford...... and all for £4.5k.
Likely to be a scam, but if I was passing........
Never seen a 6700 with the second dieseltank under the steps, but looks like a clean machine
As there's a mobile number to call I'm sure you would soon know if it's a scam with a few choice questions.
Googling, it has come dark outside so I'm having a brew before going back out to make yard pikey-proof.Sleuthing.

They were round the neighbours last night.
Gates chained shut here at dusk. Much consternation from delivery drivers who turn up just before 5, but tough shite.

Have a couple of 6700's here.. One has the optional auxiliary fuel tank, the other hasn't.
6700 shared the same 4.2 litre naturally asperated engine as the 6600, while the 7700 had the same 4 cyl 4.2 litre turbo engine as the 7600. The turbo engines had as you say different pistons and big end shells. They also had drilled conrods allowing oil pressure feed to small end bushes, and a shallower angle on inlet / exhaust valves and seats. 7700's also had a different exhaust manifold to a 7600 with longer port branches giving more space for turbo and pipework fitment..Says....
Ford 6700 Turbo Tractor, 1978 year. 2 wheel drive.
Genuine factory made turbo engine model not a after-market conversion
View attachment 746652 .....that turbo filter (if that's what it is - tried enlarging it but it just goes blurry) looks like a retro-fit to me.
.......we had 6700's and 7700's, back in the day, they had the same block and looked the same but, IIRC, the big ends and pistons were different.
If it was a genuine factory made turbo engine model, as it says in the advert, it would be a 7700.
Just sayin'
