Thank you for showing off the BIG Blue, keep more of them like this coming please. I started disking with a 9600 and a 21 ft disk at age 9 for my Dad. Over the years we all had a 4000,8000,2-9000's, 2-9600's and a TW-20. Like many here have said tough as nails tractors that don't take a back seat to any other brands. Many a good memories that I wouldn't trade for anything and make me who I am today.
Those old ford's are a work of art.
Another of these 1970s tractors that I love the looks of.
I had the ERTL 9600 tractor and thought that it was the greatest thing ever. Got for Christmas in the late 70's 😃
The Ertl 9600 was a monster in 1/12 scale compared to the 1/16 Deere and IH toys. 👍👍👍
Very cool to read all of these comments and see how much people like them and still have very vivid memories of them. That was me in the 9600 and my grandpa was in the 7700. Thank you Big Tractor Power for reaching out to me to get the videos for it
Alex thank you for having John out to film. I am a Ford fan and getting to feature your 9600 is a great honor. These blue classics are a little harder to find.
Man this brings me back. Had a 8600 back when I was growing up that actually had a 9600 engine in it due to the first engine's block cracking. One of the coolest part of that tractor was that it ran a little rich and when it was on the silage blower at night you would see about a 6 inch flame coming out of the stack when it was really working hard

Mmmko
A 6 inch flame sounds more like a valve issue to me.
A neighbor of mine here in Aus had one of these 9600’s. He would have been one of the roughest butchers on machinery, especially tractors, in the Southern Hemisphere, and yet this 9600 he had took all the abuse he dished out to it and kept going. I can only conclude that the 9600 model must be amongst the toughest tractors ever made . Regards from Down Under.

I have a very similar story. Farmer near me had a super nice operation back in the 70's. At that time we had a very good Ford dealer in the area. Almost everything he had was Ford. The guy died unexpectedly. His son took over the operation. He was hooked on drugs, a terrible alcoholic. Really Sad! He did farm for several years. Untill a motorcycle crash disabled him. All that Ford equipment was sold at auction. Several of those big Ford tractors. Everyone at the sale was just amazed at how horribly abused it all was. All bent to hell, left outside, faded and rusted, seats rotted off. Dashes tore up. Gauges not working. Obviously, had received very little, if any maintenance. But yet was all still being used. Ford lost their share of the market alright. But I don't think it was the durability of their equipment was to blame. Especially their tractors
Really like the style of these vintage Fords - back when they really were at the top of their game.
First new tractor my Dad bought. Still have the beast. It was rebuilt probably 34-35 years ago and was upgraded with the 150 pto horse power package due to other repairs to the cylinder head it probably makes closer to 175-180 pto horse power now and it still does some field work although limited as we sold our dairy cattle and my father passed away in December of 2010. It has axle mount dual wheels and a thousand pounds of weight on the front. It could have upto 1600 pounds of weight on the front as an option as it has the large 11.00-16 front tires. It is equipped with the dual power trans. It is also an open station tractor with rops and the optional sun canopy shade. We pulled a 22 ft. White wing disc, 6 bottom John Deere on land plow, New Holland 195 manure spreader, New Holland 900 forage harvester chopping hay and corn silage, and still pulls a 17 ft. Hutchmaster rolling plow (offset disc).
Thank you for sharing. It sounds like a tough looking tractor. Canopy ROPS is a great look.
Fords are definitely great tractors! We farm with Fords with an 8n, 4000, 7600, and 9700. (The 8n is a show tractor but we sometimes rake with it). However, we spread fertilizer, plant, rake hay, spread manure, plow, disc, mow. Pretty much anything you need to do on a farm, we do it with all fords!
Thank you for sharing the Blue Power Special. Ford tractors were so dependable. Keep the Ford videos coming!
Absolutely love this video and the trip down memory lane.
FORD built some great tractors. I am always excited to feature one.
I really like my 1981 Ford 7600, but wouldn't mind if it grew up to be a model 9600 one day, Thanks for showcasing some classic BLUE power!!!
Back in the 70s my dad had a Ford 4000 pulled 3-14s or 16s I can't remember for sure and a 10 ft disc. Big step up from an 8N with a 2 bottom plow and a 6 ft disc! Great videos.
Grew up with a 5600, 7600 and 7710 ll. We still have the 56 and a neighbour bought the two others. Just yesterday he was discing with the 7710 as I drove by. Thank you so much for this video.
Great piece of machine. Thank you for all the videos
Love those classic FORDS !
Always liked the 9600s.
I bought my first Ford 8000 in 1969.
When I was 20 years old.
I had been farming my grandfather's farm of 125 acres since Jr in highschool school..
The Ford 8000 tractor had 105 HP.
It only ran on 5 gallon an hour plowing with the 5. Bottom plow,
which was very economical.
I pulled a 5.bottom plow, 18 foot disk with the tractor.
I was renting 275 acres and working the soil on dad's farm of 145 acres.
After a couple years of use I put M and W turbo on it given it around 130 hp,
with out turning up the pump on it.
Ford 8000 had a cab with a box heater on floor of cab and it also had a big ventilation filter air system, but no air conditioner came with it.
I really liked the tractor alot, it brought a touch of blue 🔵 on my Red Farmall farm.
What a great history to read. I hope to find an 8000 and 9000 some day to film with early style white cab.
i dreamed of a 9600 when i was a kid, pretty awsome
I drove a brand new 1974 9600 in Marion south Carolina on Mr Lance Williams farm powerful tractor 🚜 dependable.
Great vídeo Jason.
I grew up with Fords and A-Cs on our farm. Those Fords included an 8N, a 3000 and an 8000. The 8000 was used when Dad bought it and it had had an M&W turbo added a few hundred hours prior to us getting it. I added an Ansel cab with A/C to it in the early 80s. Spent many hours on the 8000 each spring doing tillage. Loved those 8000/9000 and 8600/9600 series. Great tractors.
A beast of a tractor, used one a few times, never found an implement it wouldn't run or pull.
What a treat! Thank You!
If I could like this 1000 times I would. Grew up in the seat of a 9600.
Thank you. The 9600 is a great tractor. I grew up watching a 9000. I have always like this generation of Ford.
Ford had great tractors love my 4000 and 5000
That’s awesome to see a classic ford a tractor out there and the field still working
Very strong tractor 😁👍💪💪
I drove a 9600 in Marion south C nice pulling tractor 🚜 one of best tractor 🚜.
I use to drive a 9600 in Marion south Carolina on Mr Lance Williams farm outstanding tractor 🚜 powerful smooth operation system.
Great tractor. One of my favorites. Thank you for sharing. 👍👍
That was a special video, thank You Jason
Thank you Jan. This was a nice classic to feature.
I live in Eastern North Carolina. We farmed with ford tractors. We had a ford 4600,5610 and ford 7000.
Awesome tractor
I like the old Ford tractors and they held up pretty good!
They are good tractors.
Ford power. Nice looking tractor
Love the videos
I love to see ford tractors getting the job done👍😁
Nice video👍👍
a cousin of mine had one of these back around 1980 , he said it could pull way more than any other tractor of the same size , however the one thing he didn't like about it was he said it was like riding around on a bucking bronco or a like sitting on a basketball . You can kind of see what he meant when watching the driver in this video . cool old tractor though it sounds awesome and the guy running it does an awesome job driving it
We had one for about 15 years with the Hiniker cab. Spent many summers planting corn/beans with it. Ran a grinder mixer for hog feed for years also. Very reliable tractor but broke a couple of shift forks and had to split it a couple of times. It had been turned up and never lacked for power. Got replaced with a newer New Holland. We've had a 4000, 5000, 8600, 9600, 2x TW15, TW20, 7740, TS110,TS115,T7040 T6-165 over the last sixty years in Northeast Missouri.
Very nice blue line up. I am hoping to film a TW20 this spring in hay.
Great video !!! We’re running a few fords on our farm a 6700 , 7700, and a 8000 . We use them to cut hay rake hay and to pull hay king renovators
Very cool. Ford built some great tractors.
This the kind of tractor I like good pulling very easy to drive.
The FORD 8000/9000 tractors are solid machines. Built to last a life time.
Nice!we had a 8600 great tractor
Wow.....I had a Ford 9000 toy tractor when I was a little boy. It was my favorite. This brings back memories. Love the sound of this big blue!!!😊
"Me too" ;-) i think i had a TW 25, front wheel assist toy tractor in metal and very detailed with operative steering - i had the same thoughts with bringing back memories ;-)) An employee from a toy factory gifted it to me, and and Massey Ferguson, 2WD ;-) Greetings from Germany
@@beowolfgang Thanks for your reply🙂👍🏻
Between great uncles and cousins, there has been an NAA golden jubilee that my cousin has (the tractor I learned on,) an old 8n that my great uncle raked with, a 3000, 3600, a very high houred 6600 all purpose (utility frame with row crop fenders and I’m pretty sure it had taller rear rubber,) and a 6710. My other great uncle (his brother) had a 4000 utility, and their brother in law has an 8870
Videos like these are in the reach of every farmer Joe. The 640 hp tracked John Deere videos are for the elite only. These type of videos are especially enjoyable I think. But all your video are appreciated. Thank you. John T.
Awesome video IMO. So great to see one of these in the field.👍👍👍👍👍
It’s always fun to get to feature a classic like this.
Can't stop a 9600!!!
I have a 1968 Ford 5000. It was built in Great Britain so it has a different look than the North American models. I cut hay with it and pull a 13 ft disc and cultivator.
I like that you called it a roller harrow. That’s what we’ve always called them. Great video BTP.
Roller Harrow is Case IH marketing term for it. I own a 30ft 415 😁 I pull with my IH 4786.
@@bigtractorpower bet that 4786 gets a good ol work out on that
That’s a good tractor
We have a big 8330 for 4wheel drive... It stays hooked to the bush hog anymore... Thx Jason... Love the big blues
Nice tractor. I got to feature an 8830 a few years ago. The 30 series were good end of an era tractors.
@@bigtractorpower yes sir.... I actually got it stuck last year bush hogging .. took a heavy wrecker to get me out... Lol
great video I love me some big blue
👍👍
We always had orange power on the farm when I was a kid but one of my uncles on moms side ran Fords in his produce operation.
Going by the numbers given, the tractor in this video would've spec'd out around $22,000 or so new which was a lot of money in the 1970s.
I was able to sell some beans for 10.34/bu. That's how I got mine. It was a very nice tractor!
We still use a 9600, 9000, and 8600. They are solid older tractors. Very simple to maintain.Thanks for sharing
Very cool. The 9000 is one of my all time favorite tractors.
This just brings back remembered when I use to drive 9600 brand new.
Very cool. Great tractor.
My grandpa had a 8600 with M&W turbo and hiniker cab. Dad used to run the shit out of it. Damn simple tractors that have damn great reliability.
👍👍. This was nice tractor to get to feature.
You have great video from your drone, awesome work.
Thank you. My friend John filmed this nice 9600. He does nice drone work.
What a fantastic tractor and video, most beautiful Ford as far as I'm concerned 😊I'm not a farmer but I recently bought one just to drive around with in my truck depot😂greatings from Middelburg South Africa. PG Roos.
2023 will be the 50th Anniversary of the 8600/9600 introduction.Something else that vividly stands out in my mind about Ford tractors in the time is that when the competition started to get bigger & bigger 2 wheel drive tractors Ford just stayed at 135hp until the 163hp TW-30 came out in 1979
Ford made some very solid tractors. 2022 is the 50th anniversary for the 9600. It’s hard to believe. I Renner this being a top end tractor on farms. I got to film a TW30 this spring. Another good Ford.
that's a happy tractor right there. the rain cap was putting in some work that day. great video
#diesel
It’s always great to be able to feature a FORD. Thank you for watching.
Our 9600 would win in the local pulls. When my cousin insisted on a JD4440, he got whupped by everyone that the 9600 had beat before! That 9600 was delegated to being a blower tractor, and with a Gehl 99 or 1540 it would MOVE silage into the silo!
Very cool history to hear about. Thank you for sharing.
We actually have a Ford Lgt 125 garden tractor that has the same hood style as that thing! Jacobson made them for Ford! We also have a fully restored Ford TW20 with a mid mount long arm mower for the farm. Great video! Love Ford New Holland 🙂
The Ford 125 is a cool LGT. I have an Oliver 125 also built by Jacobson. I am hoping to film a TW20 this spring.
Sounds cool 🙂 it would be neat to see a video of how little garden tractors were modeled after their massive row crop siblings. Would love to see pictures of the little Oliver 😀
Always so excited seeing more ford videos!! What about the three ford going by? Hope to see a video of it also!
It was neat to get to feature this nice 9600. The other Ford on the second Case IH 415 is a 7700.
My cousin had one of these. I thought it was huge when I was a kid.
In its day it was a big tractor. I was excited to get a chance to feature this one. It’s hard to believe it turns 50 this year.
Very cool watching this old girl getting her done. I really loved the shot of the two Fords passing each other. What was the smaller Ford?
As a school boy I remember an 8600 being demo'ed on on a local farm in Devon, unfortunately the only thing that impressed was the horendous noise inside the Hara cab as fitted to UK spec tractors. I'm sure the driver was pleased they eventually replaced the old 4020 with a 4230 SG instead!
My uncle had a Ford 9600, pulled 5 20 molboard plow with ease.
Very nice. Great tractor.
We just bought a Ford 9600 with dual power. Looks just like the tractor in the video. We are trying to find rhe correct oil for hydraulic and PTO but not having much luck. What do you folks run in those tractors?
I wish I had the answer on that. Hopefully some one can help. Have you talked to a New Holland dealer? I would think they might have the info.
Always been a Deere man, but really liked the blue oval tractors. It's too bad the Ford name went away from the agriculture field.
Seen a local farmer with 9600 open cab on singles with NH haybine cutting alfalfa and a TW-35 on chisel plowing ground
1975 Ford 4000 Special Utility, box blade disc and brush hog.
Very nice.
My brother has an 8N tractor. He used it for everything.
The 8N is one of the all time greats.
@@bigtractorpower got one at our farm. if you don't kill the key, it'll burn the points. fuel needs turned off manually. can't hold grade for it's life. starts within 1 revolution wether -10° or 100.
Was there a mirror in that field? I swear there were matching tillage teams!! Great video Jason!
The second tractor is a Ford 7700 with a Hiniker cab.
What’s the red implement with a conveyor that appears at 2:33, among other times?
Just bought a 8600. What size implements will it handle?
I see 110 hp tractors running 12-15 ft implements well. Great tractor to have.
When was the Ford 8700 come out
You still have one ran all kinds of implements with it
Very cool. Ford built long lasting tractors. The 9600 is a power house.
A few made it to the UK.

Good to see old iron still working today. Get tired of all the technology and styling these days
👍👍👍
I have a 9600 that needs to have the belts changed. Can't figure out how to get them off the bottom pulley. Can somebody please clue me in how to get this done?
Email me at toytractortimes@gmail.com I have a friend who works at a New Holland dealership and owns a 9000.
@@bigtractorpower I have e-mailed you.
I spy a New Idea corn picker!
What was the other tractor in the field Jason?
It is a 7700 with a Hiniker cab.
Going to piss off many with this comment but from my experience with Ford tractors versus vehicles, the tractors were the only things worth a damn ford built in those years lol.
This older iron will still be running when all the new electronic crap tractors are all down for repairs!
👍👍
If I’m not mistaken that’s a 404 cid.
Close. 401. 404 is Deere
Ford 6 and 7ooo in the 70s would sqill when a sudden de cellaration
We had ford 6000 gas. . right now I'm using ford backhoe and loader I believe it a Ford ,4500 not sure something like that 3 cylinder
Very cool. I hope to be able to feature a 6000 some day. Ford sold a bunch of backhoes in their day. 👍👍
@@bigtractorpower the gas one was junk
17,000 was a lot of money then,you could buy a new pickup at around four thousand
The truck tractor ratio is far worse today 😢. A new truck is mid 50,000 and up to 90,000. The top New Holland T8.434 is $551,000.
We pulled ours with single tire 4320 !😮
Basically you didn't get much for the base price of seventeen thousand. They can keep it. 😢
Those tractors were pure junk could not keep a running motor in them lol 🤣
9600 was a very good tractor if you take care of it will run a long time red or green never had any thing better
