Where can I pickup a pair of those telescopic sway bars for my ford 3000? Thanks!

[@nativeamericanhomestead9948]

I recently decided to fix my grandpa's old tractor that has been sitting in the tractor house for over 10 years now and I like to thank you for showing me the basics on my Ford 2600 tractor this video helps out alot especially for someone who knows nothing about tractors. I like to thank you guys at everything attachments for helping with how to videos. I really appreciate the videos that show you how to use the implements as well. With out your videos I would have no clue how to use them properly. Its only been 1 month that I've been using the tractor and I already feel like a pro, thank you. 😀

[@lloydreynolds1822]

thanks to your vid, I'm am x bartender now.I. replied to an ad ,and the guy laughed when I said I didn't know anything about tractor work .reluctantly he hired me because nobody else applied, after the first week , he let go of some workers and bumped me to $19.00 an hour. not bad for a city boy.thankyou so much !!!

[@hawkeye3609]

Im 14 and im learning to drive our 1964 Fordson super major (new performance). So far ive been pushing the clutch all the way down even though its got a 2 stage clutch too. The main problems are that our tractor DOESNT have power steering, and I live in the Cotswolds (Gloucestershire, England) which is pretty much just hills! This video has helped a lot, thanks!

[@KepGuitar]

Its people like you all that gain my business, simply because you teach and share video's on how to do this and that. Awesome video, please keep making video's that educate new farmers like me.

[@xaoyaj938]

36 and Leaving the city life to take over my parents farm. This is exactly what I need to know. Thank you!

[@jtoddjb]

it's funny some of us cant remember learning to drive tractors, big trucks, skidders, or things like running chainsaws, falling trees, or milking cows, etc. We just already knew it from watching and doing it so young we cant remember back that far. But you'd have to show me how to function in a starbucks or a nice restaurant or club. I've never been in any of them. I knew a farmer who ate at McDonalds for the first time in his late 30's. I have 4 uncles all who have never done any job but logging and farming, and none of them have ever even been to a McDonalds or a shopping mall. Crazy what's normal everyday stuff to one man needs to be taught pre-school like to another

[@gustavopgm9]

My father is a farmer here in Brazil and I'm willing to follow his career and first he did not teach me to drive the tractor, it is dangerous to think of other things and I'm crazy about tractors, my father let me plant the whole farm because I think fun.You are my favorite deserves to be congratulated.

[@bongomakers]

That was the absolute best explanation of draft that I have ever heard.

[@damageincluded5823]

Haven't driven a tractor since I was ten (turned 40 this year) Had to get it started, reverse out a garage and operate the front mounted forklift on just such a beauty last night, and I'm proud to say I still got it.

[@bobpowell9397]

Thanks for education on draft control. I have never understood how it should be set. Great video!

[@unclefester9113]

My Grandfather owned an International Harvester - dealership / repair shop - in Patten Maine. He gave us some rides on tractors. I never had a clue - how these things work. They're pretty complicated. For "me" the only REAL tractors are the RED ones. But - to each his own. God Bless all our farmers.

[@OneMansSanctuary]

Near and dear to my heart. I have a '79 3600 and I love it. Y'all always put out great videos with easy to understand information. Thanks for all you do!

[@ipjunky]

Thanks for the great video! I bought my Ford 2000 from a dealer here and the only instructions for a first time tractor owner was, be careful. I have had to figure a LOT out myself but this has been a huge help. Still trying to learn all the parts and levers but this helps. Thanks!

[@LS98G]

My Grandpa had a Massey Fergueson 1971, and Ford 3600 1987 in Punjab, India.

[@arlingtonguy54]

Thanks,great video. I have been having a Ford 1910 for three years and learned a lot from this video. I'd love to see more videos like this on operating them properly, safety, maintenance, hooking up implements. I always struggle to hook up my huge old heavy rotary cutter by myself. I watch all your tractor implement videos and a big fan.

[@georgefavor4241]

Not my first time watching but speaker does such great job of explaining. Looks like the first tractor I ever drove growing up also. Have a real love for these Fords. Thanks for this great lesson and sharing. Much needed.

[@brittanymcdonaldbarr1106]

Thank you. I needed this for my ford 3000 I just received.

[@kholt275]

I really enjoyed this. I own one just like it. I bought a boom pole from y'all recently for it. It works great!

[@ponypox9489]

Thank you. I haven't bushhogged in about 20 years and I think you've kept me from humiliating myself at the barn where we board. Thank you again.

[@EverythingAttachments]

We're always glad to help, in any way we can.

[@DavidSmith-fr1uz]

Well done video. Makes me think about my Ford tractors. They were good ole girls.

[@waterboyownall]

you explain things very well! :) Hope your doing well after 13 years past.

[@TaitGuy]

I have a 2WD model 1215. Great video, thanks!

[@hitied1]

I bought a Ford 3600 a couple of years ago and at that time I had no idea it was so remarkable. The adjustment in the clutch is maxed out and I am going to have a new clutch installed and expect to have it cost a bit of $ I’m feeling it will be money well spent. I plan to have that in my shed for a long time.

[@jamesbreithaupt5138]

We had a 1972 Ford 3000 and I still learned something from your presentation. Yes it was nice to use the old wheel brakes in a tight place.

[@warrenlc57]

Ted, I have been watching all of your videos for the past couple of days. I'm going to sell my little city house in a couple of years and purchase some acreage. I've never been around a working farm, but I did raise milk goats, chickens, and rabbits. I also raised earth worms for compost. I didn't even know what questions to ask when going to look at tractors. What I like about your videos is that you are not assuming that your audience knows everything (because I know nothing) and you present the information in a way that is understandable. I will be looking for you in a couple of years. I would feel comfortable buying from someone like you, because I know you would educate me, and I don't think you would sell me something I don't need. I once bought a tractor for a small 29 acre place, and I bought from someone I trusted. That old Farmall needed a complete overhaul, and it ended up costing me more than if I had purchased a newer used model. I still had problems and didn't know where to find implements. Thank you very much for these videos. Now I won't be running a small place by myself because I will have you.

[@mynameisaichlinn]

L Warren Just a reminder to follow your dream. I thought you might have forgotten at some point over the past year

Oh man this is great, I wish I could find part two

[@roman1966100]

Good info! My father in law has a 6600 probably late 70’s, but he passed away, and a lot of bush hogging needs to be done, and my brother in laws don’t have time, so when I retire in a couple years I plan on doing it.

[@alaskatraildancer981]

Much appreciated info, thanks.

[@christopherebie]

I have not been on a tractor for 30 years. Great info. Thanks.

[@jimlee5626]

Great video. Thank you

[@williambrown238]

Thanks Ted. You actually showed something that I had backwards in my head. My tractor is old with many coats of old crappy paint. Which includes which way the draft control sensitivity works. Ill be doing some research on which way to set it on my 85 ford 2110.

[@GeeKayKayGee]

Lots of good information there Ted, thanks for making all the videos you do. Perhaps you could do a video on the safe operation of tractors, maximum angles of operation and safely going up and down steep hills.

[@dsadave]

Thanks Lloyd! Great explanation of draft control and great hair too!

[@jackstonington3772]

Thanks, I learn a lot from this one. Nicely done and pretty complete.

Nice old FORD tractor, it is similar to mine a 74 Ford 3000 gas that I restored and added a JD front end loader and I also have a small back hoe for it along with a 14" single plow and a 5 ft back blade. it's been a good old tractor and very powerful for what I"m using it for.nice job....

[@pasqualeparente9776]

I love the old tractors with all the levers, and knowing the purpose of the levers. I don't need a tractor, because I live in the city. But I would love to operate one (play with it) to actually try all the levers, try turning with the single brake. Play with the 3 point hitch. Hook up some implements. I can't explain it but I love those machines.

[@enricopallazzo3244]

Where do you live? I will let you come mow my property for $20/acre. I have a 30 acre ranch of which about half is maintained so I probably need you here twice a week minimum.

[@lincolnstewart6919]

Did you guys ever do a part two to this video?

[@MrDanoconnor]

Excellent Video

[@ethanmcleod8819]

My favorite part about this model is when you cut the wheel reel sharp. Plowing the front wheels, the power steering pump which is between your legs will blow its seal and all its scalding oil into your lap. Other than that, probably one of the toughest tractors made in its class. I use mine for woods cutting all the time.

[@marklazarus2584]

Thank you for this video. I bought a 1986, Ford 2810, and want to get the best use out of it. I don’t have any implements yet and wanted to know what you suggest as a first implement. I am in southeast Georgia, I don’t have a loader but want to maintain a dirt road and clear some pines. any suggestions would be app.

[@ECCastiron]

[@janniklasbertram9436]

Hey there Can you also use the draft control ? (Hope I remember correctly) In a way auch that the implement is in a float position over the ground ? If you wanna use a snow shield for example.

[@steveredman6370]

Excellent !

[@dsiee]

Good video, what happened to the second part?

[@luke.thedrifter2281]

Question. Just bought a 59 ford workmaster 600 and the gears, while they still are able to be shifted, seem to give me a bit of an issue...seems I have to push directly downward on the shifter to get it in gear...im not all too familiar with tractors that old, would that just be a common symptom of its age or a more serious issue

[@Justinofalltrades1]

i have a ford 3000, my question is are ford tractors a really good "brand"? what is your opinion of the top brands of tractors? thanks

❤❤❤❤ Masha Allah.good and helpful information.... thanks ❤❤❤❤

[@mperry9025]

Thanks City Boy Here I think you should do more like this

[@Tristan102100]

draft control adjusts the position control to keep it at one level,kinda like the set speed button on your cruise control. pto stands for power takeoff outlet. it is the little thing that spins in the back to run mowers,rototillers and such. and for some of the newer tractors everything is electronic. you will never compleatley understand untill you use a real farm tractor. nobody will understand tractors and all of their funtions untill they use them!

[@ranashertoanito3301]

very good information brother can you make more videos please how to operate implements and safe mode

[@junkersish]

I watched quite a few of your videos, all well worth my time. i saw you plow, disc or harrow around palm trees on some other clips, it tells this canadian boy you are not only 2 or 3 counties away. Too bad I would definitely give you a chance at my business next time.

[@Thabzalzk]

Which tractor can one recommend for working on a 10 hacter land i.e ploughing, disck and planting ? Ford, John deer or MF?

[@Journey4SureKnowledge-N-Wisdom]

Thanks for the video...was nice to hear all of the detail that you went into verses how many other videos me and my husband have watched that they don't tell us much about the specifics of the tractor. However one thing that we didn't hear you discuss is the 3-point hydraulic and if it has down pressure instead of just the gravity-down feature like our Ford 9n and 8n has. Does this tractor have the pressure-down for the 3-point arms? One nice reason for the pressure-down feature is when having a posthole digger attached to the tractor and being able to force the auger into the ground getting it to cut in instead of only being able to rely on the weight and gravity to drive the auger into the ground. Another thing we would like to see is what different loaders are an option for this style tractor. We are considering a Ford 4600 Diesel and need some experienced advice :o)

[@EverythingAttachments]

Thanks for watching! Not really any tractors comparable in size to this one will have down pressure on the 3pt hitch. You'd have to move up to 120+ HP before down pressure is available.

[@King0fBanditJing]

didn't have an option to watch with sound, so it's unclear for me- do you only use your right leg to drive? or do you need both legs? and is it different with different tractors?

[@bluefoxes1]

[@jaysouza8177]

Can you please tell me what the F--S knob does? ours seems frozen and snapped off when we put a little pressure on it. Also the right rear foot peddle it attaches to the rearend in two places.
