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.

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.

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!

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.

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 .
