❤ the blue ones from that era!! Sharp n comfortable . Liked the foot throttle
Yes, they were!
Thanks for watching!
I absolutely love these videos the way you format it. It just takes me back to the '60s and '70s. It's like watching. Cheers and learning tractor history. Thanks!
Glad you like them!
We’re still running a 72’ Ford 8000 on our farm. Still a hoss of a tractor pulling a 5 bottom plow when we need to.
5 bottoms on an 8000... Nice! That ought to get it done!
Thanks for watching!
Remember these well growing up in the '60's and '70's! I always wanted one and thought Ford did an excellent job on their advertising! My neighbors had Olivers and Internationals comparable to that horsepower! They were a great looking tractor, imo. as well! There was a nice one with a 5000? at the Old Southeast Threshers Reunion at Denton Farm Park here in N.C.
The 5000 was a really nice tractor as well and I would say worked really well as teamed up on a farm with the 8000. I hope to do a video on the 5000 someday in the near future!
Thanks for sharing and for watching!
Dad bought the 8000 in 1985 absolutely excellent tractor,my farm tractor test book says 12.69 HP hr/gal though great video thanks for sharing
12.69 is the average over the varying load test when tested by Nebraska. I used the rated engine RPM test which was 15.65. Really, I think most people look at the PTO test which in this case was 16.73 which is getting near into JD 730 test numbers!
I'm still working through which numbers I should share with these videos, because I don't want them to become eyewatering boring, but I think it's important to share what makes the tractor Legendary! I also want to be comparing apples to apples.
Thanks for the feedback!
Glad that you enjoyed the video and I appreciate you watching!
@@LegendaryTractors correct,I have a 730d,the ford 8000 is a very efficient tractor thanks for the response
Always Enjoy These Videos 😊😊😊
Thanks! I appreciate you watching!
Back about 1970/71,may dad had a ranch here in central Texas,Another rancher he knew had one,To A 10 year old kid it was the coolest thing I ever seen,I remember being about 10 or 11 riding on it while my brother about 16 years old was driving it taking A huge trailer load of hay from the man that owed it to my dads ranch down the road.I also remember it having A boom shaker to thrash our pecan trees.
Pecans is a crop that we do not have in my part of the world! I would love to learn more about how they are grown. I sure do love Pecan Pie too!
Thanks for watching! I really appreciate it!
My dad had one when I was young it did pull really good it acted like it had more horsepower than advertised and those 6.6 Ford engines lived on for a lot of years and other New Holland equipment and Ford medium duty trucks and tractors I remember you could hear that engine fan and tractor scream at night from far away we had a heavy duty 14 ft offset disc and it pulled it pretty good and a heavy duty three bottom oliver rollover plow we used in our hard Arizona ground it seem like I did better than our 986 but our 986 might have been more worn out too I know the neighbor had a 4240 John Deere and that could barely pull our plow and the tractor was in real good shape our tractor had a rops and a canopy 18.4-38 rear tires 10.00-16 fronts and was fully weighted front and rear with water all the way around without the front weights the plow would lift the front of the tractor off the ground as a kid riding on it I'll never forget the fiberglass fenders or a triangle flame coming out of the exhaust pipe at night when pulling hard .
I always thought that the Ford's had a really cool looking roll bar / canopy design as it sloped forward instead of rearward like all of the competitor's tractors did.
Oliver built a great plow - so much so that many manufacturers (including Ford) rebadged them. I would if your roll-over that you used had a Ford version?
I used to love plowing at night and watching the fire come out of the exhaust!
Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it!
@@LegendaryTractors there may have been other brands of it I believe the model was 6341 when it rolled over the hitch would side shift so you didn't have to narrow the tires up if they were set wide The plow was oliver green but it had a faded white logo on it during that same period there was a bunch of smaller three bottom rollover plows that were Oliver but they're painted an orange color and everyone called them Moline plows they used to pull them with 4010 John deers or tractors of the same size My dad told me when the original owner of our plow bought a Oliver tractor and the plow together they both said white on them he wasn't sure the model of the tractor but as a fairly big one
Between me and my brother we have three four eight thousands and one 5,000 & two 4000
