This is a 1985 F700, it's technically a bullnose year, but it's got it's own medium duty truck front clip, so I don't know if counts. The bullnose 150, 250, etc are my favorite ford truck style.

It's been in there at least 35 years, it's fine.

@@fruitfarmfords8243 I was just goofing about the reputation of those engines losing head gaskets, glad yours has worked well for you.

4 fingers, one thumb, I'm a big boy but the redhead nephillim gene is recessive in me, only one row of teeth too.

Thank you for your constructive input.

Thank you!

Good trucks, not a speed demon at max capacity, but they are reliable and decent on fuel.

This is a 98 F800 btw

I don't think Ford was making any big diesels at the time and it was these the 429 or I think, a 360 for the medium duty trucks. I've seen 3208s in the cab over trucks of that time. Later Ford had the straight 6 Brazilian turbo diesel. There are L8000 and L9000 Fords with 8v71s and possibly bigger detroits.

They needed a real motor! Hahahaha

@@stellingbanjodude That would have been cat or cummins

F-800 came later with the 5.9 6bt Cummins . I have a '98 with Cummins

GM was the sole owner of Detroit at the time, and Detroit sold engines to anybody that had money.

It's been in the family since the early 90s. I'm sure there are a few still out in the wild, but I don't see many around here.

Maybe 175, it's had it fuel pump turned up a tad. You run these wide open in whatever gear seems right.

@@fruitfarmfords8243 hablas português Brazil??

@@manoelgid4283 I only speak English.

I don't even own this one, went with a buddy who was looking at it, he didn't end up buying it. If money was no object, I'd buy em all, but as cool as the commanders are, I can't justify having one. Thank you for the offer! Hey, unless it's free, then I might visit Minnesota!! Lol

I don't have any that new.

No, buddy that painted it put a lot of hardener in the paint when he mixed it.

Thank you!

Thats was what replaced this, they only made the 3610 two years, then went to the 3910, which got a bit more HP and a heavier rear axle with wet brakes. I also have a 3910, but it is a narrow orchard.

@@fruitfarmfords8243 o cool I didn’t know that thank you.!!

Since I was a little kid, I've liked reptiles, and since we only have one dangerous snake, that is quite rare, i caught every snake I could. Never got into any exotic ones though. I'd keep a wild one a few weeks, feed it toads and frogs, turn it loose. This guy is hunting mice and voles I'd bet.

I just tugged it out with the 4610. It's not that it's difficult, it's that it's unnecessary.. when you've spent your day fixing dumb little mistakes like this in 87 degrees and high humidity, stuff like this, that no one tells you about, really makes you want to lose it.

Thank you! I've been working on the 3610 some lately, will have an update video coming fairly soon.

It's just a regular BN but someone converted into a forklift, poorly, and painted it this hideous yellow.

@@fruitfarmfords8243 I know I have a Farmall Super A that has original yellow underneath the 50 year old hand painted red even though it is not a Super AI, and a lot of times you see that with these wher they were yellow originally for being industrial

I'm glad you like it! We are 6 days into harvest, I'm growing weary of it myself. Fun fact, both halves of the harvester are powered by 4cyl JCB turbo diesels. The little forklifts have Kubota engines.

It was quite a sight

Other than 2 in of rain, storm did no damage to us.

Looks more like a shelf cloud

We live in a world built by men that risked it all working with their backs and hands, me sitting in my cushy seat, climate controlled truck was pretty darn safe.

I ain't mad at ya

You mean the check engine light? I checked, it's still there. Tpms? Tire man broke the band on one wheel. I don't need a gadget to tell me I have a flat tire. What do you think the backup sensors were saying while they were pressed against rear of that brick nose F350? Lol

It really is, thanks for watching!

I'm not sure where you live, but parts both new and old are widely available. I can go to a new holland dealer and they can supply most anything. Ebay and even Amazon have some things. There are a few local guys nearby that part them out and they are a good source as well. Just look on line and ask any farmers in your area where they would look. Good luck to you!

Normally I think 1 and 2 are both 3cyl 62hp, but this is an orchard special with a 72-75hp 4cyl engine.

​@@fruitfarmfords8243Thanks

It's a harmless one.

Not available

1985

Me too! It's still sitting in my shop, needing to be assembled.. I've been slacking.

​@@fruitfarmfords8243Its okay Sir!

How wide is the disc? I’m thinking about getting a 12ft for my 4610

@landrace2010 It's a 10 foot. However, disc size is greatly dependent on your land. My ground is sandy loam, and fairly flat. Also, the 4610 in the video has its 14.9-28 tires loaded with beet juice as well as one 70ish lb wheel weight per side, 3 of the smaller suitcase weights up front. As well as I run spacers on the disc lift cylinder and let the tires carry some of the weight, rather than lift the wheels and sink the disc. I pulled a massey ferguson 520 10ft disc with my little 3610 with no weights and unloaded tires, but any spots with a slight rise and I would have wheel spin and have to lift the disc some. I'd say look for an 8 footer to be safe and then you have some cushion for different soils and terrain.

@landrace2010 In my soil, the 4610/4600/4000 will pull a 12 foot, loaded appropriately. My dad has a 14ft that we have used behind his 4000 that has loaded 16.9-24 and two weights per side, but it mostly gets pulled by his 5030 and it's 16.9-30s that are loaded.

Thank you!

Thank you for watching it!

Thank you!
