FORD 7000 AND IH 445 BALER AND SLED

[@mikeclark4416]

Watched a DVD about the 7000 ,and it was this tractor that was the star of the show . Beautiful looking tractors

[@dellhell8842]

Takes me back to the mid seventies when I baled with an International 440 and a Ford Force 5000. Ear muffs were essential.

[@derektinkler4120]

Good to see a Ford 7000 at work they were beautiful tractors to drive the driver didn’t believe in stopping and putting the broken bales back through the baler.

As noisy, cramped and uncomfortable as tractors were in the 1970's, l still wish l owned one. A great video of a brilliant tractor!

[@tractorbarnproductions2009]

Cheers!! Me too!!

7000 were a pure animal in there day.

Awesome tractor…the guy i worked for doing my farm apprenticeship in the 70’s in New Zealand had one of the first to be imported into the country….had an am transistor radio in there and listened to the BBC in London on it religiously. Now the farm is 3x the original size and he has a huge Case with every conceivable option you could think of…nice to drive but it’s not the same…no character to it if you know what i mean….oh to go back in time

B47 was the best International Harvester baler ever, ours was ancient and still going strong in 2004 when we quit farming 😎.

[@williamanderson8441]

The baler may be good but that flat 8 sledge is shit! 😂

[@martingardener90]

Spent many hours as a kid following the sledge stacking bales into fives for I think a Brownes bale lifter - got 50p for an afternoon!

My word, ford built fantastic tractors in their day. There are plenty of the 10 series over here in NI still earning their crust.

[@Whiskey-xp6vu]

have a 7610 series 3 2wd love driving that tractor

[@donnellykieranj]

@@Whiskey-xp6vu yip they are just awesome. Bulletproof. My dream is to have a 5610 mk II or III 4wd Q cab. Quite rare though.

[@anthonyrose3127]

[@antonyfarming]

Great video 👍 nice machine's

[@tractorbarnproductions2009]

Cheers!!

[@Whiskey-xp6vu]

we had a 7000 on a tarrup double chop and a 5000 on a lee trailer doing the drawing what I wouldnt give to go back in time to spend one day with them

FORD IS GOLD 💪👌 SIMPLY THE BEST 👌❤️👍💪🔥😍

[@petereast3316]

What a nice 7000 for 35 years old! In their day they really were top dog. I had a new one in 1974 - one of the first Dual Power models, and to my mind far superior to the 7600. The Q cab on the 7600 was agreat improvemnt, but it made the tractor too heavy, and so it then really could have done with another 10hp.

[@tommyrea6388]

Extra 10 hp wasn’t a problem with the right spanner and five minutes

[@petereast3316]

@@tommyrea6388 Very true Tommy, but it increased the black smoke - unburnt fuel,so you might as well set fire to £10 notes?

[@tommyrea6388]

@@petereast3316 some guys don’t know when to stop we had one of the first 7600 S bubble cabs used on a NH precision chop a little tweak gave her an edge

[@alanswainson2683]

Good video but sloppy work keeping baling with all them bust bales among the good ones . Just makes a bigger mess to sort out later !

[@theforester3426]

On the Ford 7000 what was the significance of the term load monitor.?

[@tractorbarnproductions2009]

It was a feature of the rear hydraulic system which sensed and adjusted depth while working a ground engeged implement

[@theforester3426]

Would load monitor be much the same as draft control.?

[@tractorbarnproductions2009]

@@theforester3426 yes, basically

[@decnijfkris3706]

in fact the 7000 series already should have had 4 wheel traction but it was not tha case
