Yard Firewood tractor

[Alycidon]

You're doing a wee bit of a disservice to the 135, it is actually 45hp, later increased to 47.

 

Mine is a 1971!, might have had 45hp when it left the factory but a few have probably escaped over the last 40 years !.

 

 

 

Power and Super Fordson Majors are a good alternative. Post 1964 Fords 2000-5000 have issues with blocks going porus, other than that they are also worthy of consideration, if you need a bit more power then the 5000 (75hp) is a good slogger.

Just to note a skid unit is a tractor minus the rear wheels, front axle so how will it run the wrong way.

 

it would not of course, but the engine and gearbox from a truck would

I am about to buy a ford4000 to use as a yard tractor as our compact will not lift what i need it to. Does anybody know what a ford400 with power loader would be worth in average condition.

Does nobody rate internationals I have a 354 and have no problems with it ( touch wood) I do find the spares cheap too. I see Cambridge auction is soon plenty of tractors there but you have to be careful people often take kit there thats tired with problems.
