Ford Introduce*
New Tractor*
Ford Tractor Operations is
introducing 24 new
agricultural tractors that
feature the most substantial
changes in the Ford farm
tractor line since the firm
entered the over-100 hor
sepower market in 1960.
The new farm tractors
range from 30 to 86 PTO
horsepower (manufacturer's
estimate) and will be
grouped under seven basic
model designations 2600,
3600,4100,4600,5600,6600 and
7600. Five of the seven new
product offerings replace the
previous 2000 through 7000
models. The 4100 and 5600
represent new-size tractors
from Ford.
Three currently produced
model groups also will be
available the Model 1000
(23 horsepower chore
tractor) and two large
tractors, Models 8600 (110
horsepower) and 9600 (135
horsepower).
Louis R. Ross, Ford vice
president and general
manager of Tractor
Operations, said that dealer
deliveries will begin this fall.

"Introduction of these new
farm tractors enables Ford
to better meet requirements
of the farmer or rancher who
needs a tractor in the low- to
mid-power range,” said Mr.
Ross.
"Ford has incorporated
several significant product
improvements in the new
models," he continued. “In
addition to styling changes,
these improvements include
increased hydraulic flow and
lift, improved service ae
cess, new operator comfort
features and ease of
operation, additional elec
trical generating capacity
and reduced smoke on diesel
engine models. Together,
these changes add up to
increases in productivity and
efficiency for the user.”
The 60 horsepower
(manufacturer’s estimate)
diesel powered 5600 model is
a completely new size that
offers a useful power margin
over smaller size tractors,
yet is not too big for the
many lighter jobs a tractor is
called on to do. Ford’s 5600 is
available with several op
tions, including 16-speed
Dual Power and two-speed

It proves something: CONSISTENCY
Alternators replace
generators on all new
models. In addition to higher
rated output, the alternators
start charging at lower
speeds and require less
maintenance.
Across the board diesel
engine improvements for the
new tractor line include
changes in the cylinder head,
intake manifold, air
cleaners, fuel pump and
other engine components.
Together, these changes
contribute to more efficient
burning of the fuel, cooler
operation and cleaner
exhaust.

PTO, that permit a wide
range of operations.
Hydraulic system im
provements are a major
feature of the new tractor
line. Both hydraulic flow and
lift are increased. Pump
capacities on new models
are tin from VI to 108 oer rent
compared with modH*
now available. The use of
larger diameter lift cylin
ders has increased lift from
12 to 21 per cent, depending
on the model.
New filtering and cooling
help provide improved
hydraulic system durability
and protection. All units use
a spin-on, micronic, full-flow
filter placed in the suction
line to remove impurities
before they enter the pump,
compared with previous
model suction line screens
and-or return line filters.
The Head Hunter
Zip
operation has been in
troduced by Wadler
Manufacturing Co. of
Galena, Kansas.
The headgate is called the
Super 3-Way Headhunter. It
can be operated
automatically, semi
automatically or manually.
It automatically adjusts
itself for thick neck animals
and eliminates any hazard of
choking.
“It’s really a spring
loaded trap,” remarked Phil
Geisler, Wadler vice
president, as he explained
the gate’s swift, automatic
capabilities.
When used automatically,
dual, spring-loaded locks
hold the gate open. Animals
are funneled into the gate by
folding side panels, standard
equipment that is hinged to
the gate’s main frame. The
headgate snaps shut when
animals contact the side
posts. Even a slight bump
activates the spring lock.
Semi-automatic controls
also enable one person to
drive stock and conveniently
operate the 3-Way
Headhunter at the same
tune. This setting, best for
small animals, is activated
by a trip rope that works up
to 50 feet away.
Structurally, the 3-Way
Headhunter is similar to
Wadler’s Super Headhunter
102, another unique headgate
recently Introduced by the
company. Both gates have
unusual walk-through and
nnel design features which
guide animals into position.
No adjustments arc
necessary to accommodate
long homed animals or small
stock. Heavy-duty back-
Yamcs on the gates enable
.icm to be quickly mounted
to any corral or chute.
