Ford 4000 Tractor Run!

[@davidmcmanus1664]

The sound of the 4000 brings back happy memories of the farm. My uncle had one and he put a Mil Mount trip front loader. I was always driving it clearing out cow sheds harrowing ploughing , bringing in hay or straw. The list is endless.

[@FourWindsFarm]

They are a lovely machine 👌

Great to see good memories. Drove a 4000 and a 4600 when I worked for bees nurserys chester way back in 1969. Really great tractors. I still remember all ways put the top link at 29 inch. Great video thanks for the memory 😀

Looked like a great day out, the children and dog look well. Thank goodness your missus got you the ear muffs, I remember we used to have them in every 4000, 5000 etc. That certainly brings back memories, including those of people no longer with us but who made a huge impact on me. Great video thanks Matt.

FORD IS GOLD 💪👌👍 SIMPLY THE BEST 💪👍❤️

[@mikeclifton7778]

From memory the second and third letters denote where the vehicle was registered, in the case of the 4000 I think it's a Somerset plate. The final letter is the age identifier, J was between 1st August 1970 and 31st July 1971. The tractor runs are lways a good video, thanks Matt.

[@RobGamage]

Was a great run that day, mine was the 4000 with the back box and hydro top link

[@FourWindsFarm]

I remember, it was a little gem 👌

[@IanLewis-x2f]

Best sound ever 4000 drove one for years when I left school 👍 no wonder I hard of earning now 😎

[@FourWindsFarm]

😂😂 they are rather loud

[@purplerunner1715]

Childhood memeries that is, my dads main tractor was a Ford 3000, simuler engine 3 cylinder diesel banger, cab everything, drove that tractor more hours then my dad myself I think. What a awesome workhorse. Only issue was the head gasket was replaced 4-5 times and the brakes wore off quick with all the 1 wheel turns with the plow. To me that tractor engine is music even today.

Another great video again nice to see the tractors out 👍👍

[@chrislee2221]

J came out in August 1970 until July 71. I had an N reg 4000 with the deluxe version of that same cab, ie it had a fully enclosed rear window and the cab had black lining inside of 2-3mm thick. Can honestly say it was one of the best if not the best tractor i have ever owned, have dtiven better but not owned, just noisy as hell in the cab roasting hot in the summer. 62hp i seem to recall.

[@FourWindsFarm]

They are a classic and very reliable, just very noisy as you say 👍

[@sandymcghee3328]

Great video nice tractor ran Matt 👍👍👍

[@haroldjones4309]

Greaat video Matt there was a ford force out before that model that is a safty cab that was compulsory, The chance is that the up and down valve is stuck in the hydraulic cylinder, the ignition switch had a preheat if you turn the key to the left that was optional, year was the last letter after the numbers you could get a delux cab that had sound proofing

[@Ray-Smith23]

I'd love one of these lovely ladys

In 1971 my father bought the Ford 4000 new for the farm in Germany...Hanover...Wolfsburg...before that he had a Fordson

[@bart-73x65]

We had the exact same tractor as this one , but in my favorite different blue maybe it was in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 a different color. however memories remain 🥰

[@FourWindsFarm]

Lovely tractors 👍

[@Big-Si2253]

Ignition light on all the time. Either the alternator is not charging or the key isn't engaged properly.
