Super Dexta

[Derrick Hughes]

Is this unusual , to have a Super Dexta x Ford 3000

 

[Lincsman]

Well the first 4000s were super majors i think?

 

[Sussex Martin]

Maybe a 3000 had a Dexta over for supper and this was the result and they named it after the event!

ok the reason behind the ford 3000 also badged as super dexta is that the dexta n major were well known n strong names whitch ford carried over onto the new models, 3000, 4000, 5000 . just a bit of marketing , nothing more than that, how long it continued for i dont know but i would assume your 3000 would be quite an early model

Is it worth a premium as vintage

Dont think so, the later ones were better tractor, and something tells me they are worth more.

I'm no expert though...

 

[Derrick Hughes]

Never liked the 3000, the pumps were crap, very often stood for an hour in the morning waiting for it to lift

 

[Exfarmer]

The early 3000's were sold as super dexta's
They shared a few parts
But never the ones you want

its not a massey so i cant see it being worth a premium, having said that its a straight looking tractor

 

[FonterraFarmer]

Its just an early thousand series Ford 3000X, as multi power has said, later Y series is more desirable.As for it being worth a premium, maybe depending on the date codes, if its from 1964 and from early in the production run, maybe. Not much in common with the Super Dexta, but still a tidy looking tractor.
