FORD Designation 6 Tractors Working on Spring Tillage

[@damonried1720]

I could listen all day to these tractors purring. The mighty yet soothing sound of production.

[@raymiller9391]

Thanks for posting this video on the beautiful Ford tractors. My dad had two 4000 tractors. One he bought new in 1967 and the second one was bought new in 1971. They were good tractors. It’s good to see these farmers operate their equipment at a moderate speed!

[@nellsonstout7001]

Why? If you can go faster, do a good job, and not tear stuff up, do it!

[@jamiegivens3970]

Local guy had 2 876s here pulled 2 496 disks for years and years. Always remember seeing them running around here. Great old tractors seemed like.

[@bigtractorpower]

Butler County has some good 4wds.

[@Dextamartijn]

Versatile and Ford guy here . My dad started with blue power 40 years ago and I have liked Ford and Versatile ever since

[@ScottPykare]

I've always liked the look of the Versatile/Ford 4wd's. Good to see this older iron still getting the job done and for quite a bit cheaper!!😊👍🏻

Versatile Designation 6 tractors look quite modern for their age, both red and blue, very nice looking machines 👍

[@sircaptainchaos2388]

they will still be running when this modern stuff is broken up for parts

[@kishascape]

Depends on the modern stuff. John Deere machines will never reach that stage because their software will lock up, they won’t let you repair it without hacking even though you own it, and planned obsolescence. Smartphone idiocy spreading like a disease 🦠

[@randylyons2330]

Much respect for the big Blue tractors!

[@bigtractorpower]

😁👍👍

[@jeffreyneihart1614]

I've seen a couple of these changed over to 3406 Cat engines. Supposed to be real beast with that engine. Love the blue tractors!!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@TheGiovaniap]

Listen the sound with headphones! it was amaizing! Thanks BTP!

[@bigtractorpower]

Cummins engines have a good sound.

[@sleepyvalleyventurebob5889]

Still using my 1988 876. Has been a great tractor for us.

[@AndyCrumbaker]

We’ve got a 946 ford designation 6, really really good reliable tractor, and pulls better than the rated hp on it. Pulled a 32 foot field cultivator for awhile now it pulls a 30 foot turbo till.

[@johnearle6667]

Great video and very good careful operators who are treating those big tractors with care and respect

[@bigtractorpower]

They are good looking machines. It was nice to be able to feature the pair.

[@EDBZ28]

Another great one from our home state of NY! Yes world....we do farm in NY and our land isn’t just covered in pavement and concrete! Nice job on this one BTP. I love those Fords.

[@gleanerk]

And it’s beautiful country there from what I’ve seen in videos and pictures. Like most NY folks I’ve heard they say they don’t want to be associated with the city . I watch grumpy farmer.

[@EDBZ28]

@@gleanerk yep...you said it. Our farm is in western NY, the finger lakes region and I wish they’d annex NYC off NYS, but they never will bc it’s the demencrats entire voter-base and they’ve worked hard getting illegals to come populate the city to increase their voter numbers.

FORD IS GOLD 💪👌👍 SIMPLY THE BEST 💪👍❤️

[@mrourcanada8964]

That was an awesome history about versatile and Ford new Holland is always great to see artistic like tractors working in the field

[@gleanerk]

Hey 👋

[@fordsfarms1297]

Great find on those two!!

[@edwarddavis507]

Hi Jason! Thank you for the video. This was very educational. It seems the stock markets and “hostile take overs” have changed the landscape in tractor manufacturing and probably decimated some good companies along the way. Some seem to persevere like Versatile has. Thanks for sharing this history. It’s very important. I’d love to see more.

[@BRPFan]

The Versatile tractor plant in an hour away in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I worked at our local Versatile dealership for 17 years and went on many Versatile factory tours!

[@iancroot1388]

These two Ford beauties look and sound great in their blue & white liveries, thanx for sharing. but i really would'nt want to be paying the fuel bill.

[@ZekenStreak]

They maybe blue in colour but they’re still Versatiles to me. Great vid BTP. Cheers

[@gleanerk]

Thanks for sharing, enjoyed watching and the history! I know why these tractors are still working. They’re not dogging them .

[@ARE_Entertainment]

I think it would have been so cool to be farming In the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. Back then Allis Chalmers was still a thing. I just think it would have been really cool.

What a beast! 💪🏼

[@RickPerry4960]

Awesome video BTP. that was in my neck of the woods, but I can’t place where that is.. it’s been a very long time since I’ve seen those old tractors. Never seen them in real life just only pictures. Thank you again

I sold my farm last year due to health issues. I sold all the tractors listed but my 5900. It’s my favorite and I decided to keep it.

[@daneenmurf1043]

I'm in Ireland. I've owned a 5000, a 7610 and a 7740 but i never heard of a 5900. They probably were never sold on this side of the pond. Was it basically a 5000 or did it have completely different spec ?

[@danielaltman9945]

@@daneenmurf1043it’s basically a 5600 (early models) and 5610 (later models) without all the bells and whistles. Later models had external hydro filter and faster hydraulics. It was built in Mexico and a lot were imported into the US. Very basic tractor with upgraded steering and very reliable.

[@davidpeter9784]

When I worked in Montana a neighbour had 2 876 des 6 blue tractors loved seeing them at work, thanks for your videos Jason 👍

Man that's what you call tractors just listen them great 👍

[@casetheprotogen1167]

Ford Power!!

[@buddymartin7923]

Are the ‘designation’ numbers something that is specific to Versatile? I’ve heard equipment referred to in it ‘generation’ but the designation numbers are a new one on me. Versatile aren’t common here in the southeast….

[@user-snowman5]

Kool lookin tractors

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.

[@oldben1800]

totally awesome, someone close to me has an 876 I believe

[@SimonKL11]

Great to see big blue tractors working out in the field👍😁 Nice video👍👍

[@404nitro]

We came across an FW-400 the other day in extremely nice condition. Never seen it at that farm before, though they do run other older Ford's and NH tractors. The decal definitely said FW-400, not 40, so not sure what is up with that unless they did make a model with that designation at some point. Where does the term designation 6 come in/from? Is that from the 6 at the end of each model number?

[@bigtractorpower]

FW-40 is extremely rare. If it says FW400 some one customized I suspect. If you any pics you can email me at [e-mail] and I can better tell.

[@JS-1983]

@@bigtractorpower Could that be an Australian Waltanna FW-400? 🤔 Like that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4erao2fbNtsgaM Not much photos or videos about those tractors, quite rare machines i think... Those were sold also both colours, in Versatile red and Ford(ish) blue 😀 Google Waltanna FW400 and you see blue version (YT doesn't allowed add link ☹️)

[@michaelbaumgardner2530]

I don't know about the bigger Ford's but the 45 to 100 hp class were hard to kill

[@bigtractorpower]

Ford built solid tractors all around. Good machines.

[@kishascape]

Ahhh It's a nice 1980s kind of day :3

[@Blackwellll3066]

Cool to see ford 4wd tractors don't see them that much

[@Jaxon-iu6vb]

They are everywhere here

[@Andy-From-England]

I love the look of them filmed here But sadly here in the UK we don't see any thing like or versatile that it's only seem to be John deere mostly which is nice.....fent and new Holland that's more less near where I live

[@petrusroos948]

Thanks Jason, great video, but when and how did it became Versatile again?

[@nocotton]

Ford Blue fan no matter who they acquired. Over the years we ran tractors as small as the 2000 with no power steering, also the ever popular 5000 with power steering, 3 different 7000 series-the 7000, 7700, 7710 series II, TW-20 also got some time in. I currently own a 1086 International, and it runs great, but shifts much quirkier than the Fords, and rides like a brick. The The quick response steering and predictable shifting on the Ford tractors of that era win my vote, but that 86 series IH sure runs like a champ, and holds enough fuel to get it done, if you can justify filling it up. Over $400 each time to do that right now. Please open up the pipeline. My 86 series can't go electric.

[@tobinjansen7367]

Nice

Yes but part of tractor history I was excited to share.

[@dschefers9700]

We use a old 900 Versatile hitched 26’ 496 IIH disc or a 40’ CIH 4300 field cultivator.

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool tractor.

A ford deveria volta a fabricar , tratores pois faz falta. Tratores robustos e confiaveis.

[@hunterwilliams4621]

We have a ford 8770 that we run a grain cart and stalk shredder on and a 7700 and TW5 that we use to mow ditches and pull 3pt bush hogs.

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool tractors. Blue tractors were built to last.

[@hunterwilliams4621]

Yes they were the 7700 and TW5 were bought new in 1978 and 1989 and now I work at the dealership they came from.

[@shawnbrown8888]

Where in central New York was this?? If you can say? I grew up there in a small town of Locke!!!

[@bigtractorpower]

This was filmed near Waterloo. I think Locke was home to Lamco Forage Wagons.

[@scottkaercher1733]

Im surprised those discs are doing that good of a job for as slow as their going.

[@bigtractorpower]

Lots of stones in this part of NY.

[@rustyshank912]

Ah I have a lot of rocks where I am. It is why I have a high speed disc on the back of the Deutz Allis 9170.

[@douglaslaschkewitsch6032]

Sure seems like they are going slow to me. Is that normal? In a big field, that would take forever, even with these two big tractors.

[@bigtractorpower]

They run at 5 mph. That’s the best speed for the disk to run to make a smooth seed bed so planter does not bounce and lose seed placement. These tractors on the teas would top out at 15-20 mph.

[@briansmith8385]

Versatile agriculture is now owned by a Russian company named Rostselmash.

[@tcityfarms2806]

I use a 52 ford 8n and a 72 ford 3000 diesel in my operation they are small but really cheap to run

Agreed. The way they’re working seems inefficient unless they’re in some insanely rocky ground
