I can't imagine this farmer bought the 9700 new, but clearly someone has taken great care of it. Cool, very nice.
I would say it is very very well cared for on this farm.
We have a 9700 but it was used and not great but they're good tractors
I remember the ford 9700 from my youth in the 80's. This tractor made a screaming agressive powerfull sound and we always ran to the street when we heard him coming in the distance. It was always a spectacular moment when this tractor passed.😀👍
Seems like those old mechanical diesels all had that powerful sound to them.
I appreciate your videos on row crop tractors like this.
Some (not all) in this generation forget that tractors like this were fair sized hp in the field.
It's also refreshing to see someone manage the land without chemical!
Taking it back to the old school. I remember everyone turning dirt and plowing ever year.
It was a great time in farming for big iron.
We bought the exact tractor in 1977. I was farming with my dad at the time. I sold it after years of running it and it is still running today with the 2nd owner. Great Tractor.
I still miss the ford tractors 🚜 😢 😪. 😪 😔.
😁👍
I love seeing the classic big Iron tractors of the past I grew up on my uncle's farm i central Ohio all we had was old Oliver's and Ford tractors
We had 2 7700’s. They were and are still great tractors. Never an issue with the Dual power!
FORD IS GOLD 💪👌👍 SIMPLY THE BEST 💪👍❤️
They had a great product line.
My Dad traded an AC 7000 for this in 78, we had the daul power, loved it. I felt like a boss driving down the road when I was 12 and kicking in the dual power. Man I put a lot of hours on it. Sold it at farm auction in 2008 and it still ran great.
My best friend still owns the 9700 he bought new in 1978. Still looks new, he has never left it outside.
the plow covered the grass very well.
Ole blue still running strong, it’s good to see some segments with the ford tractors!👍👍
😁👍
We had a Ford 8000. I spent a lot of hours on that tractor. I would have liked to have had a 8700 or 9700 like this one. Great video as always, Jason! Awesome drone footage. Love the sound.
Sounds as good as she looks! Thanks for posting!
😁👍
Great looking tractor. I still miss plowing, it was so satisfying. I know it was slow but enjoyable.
😁👍
Plowing is a cross between sailing and calligraphy. Very satisfying.
That 9700 sounds good. My dad had one without the cab but one thing I can say it was a beast in the field when it came to plowing up a field.
I have a 7700. Great GREAT tractor
@@vinlennox7658 It looks like it a good tractor how many horses does the engine have?
@@tonyprice5364 7700 has 97hp.
Its all there and more. Lively bull of a tractor
@@vinlennox7658 Wow
@@tonyprice5364 all mechanical. Old fashioned. A good bit high. But i love her Tony. No green nonsense about her or efficiency stuff. .you pull the throttle n she just packs out her punch!
Big tractor power these Fords built in this Era were some of the best built tractors around. They pulled hard and were not easy to break down. Prolly some of the best at the time and still today.
It was a great time period for tractors.
I learned to drive a tractor on a 9600 ford when I was 7 years old. Dad would fork chopped grass off a flat deck wagon to the milk cows while I drove around in the pasture. Of course I couldn't push in the clutch but I could turn off the key. The first time he let me drive out through the gat I broke off a fence post. That was over 40 years now and I still love tractors today. Now to teach my grandkids.
Great history. 😁👍👍
Great video. Brings back memories of when we would plow everything in the 70's.
👍👍
In the 80s, I had a if tractor
It was a very strong tractor. I liked the turbo shift pedal that gave it an overdrive. Had a nice cab with ac and am/fm radio
Although I grew up farming with nothing but Ford tractors through the 70's and 80's, my favorite has to be the '74 model 5000 that was my Dad's that I still have today!
I want a 5000. I bid on one last weekend but didn't get it...
The 5000 is one of the all time greats.
@@bigtractorpower you can bet, this one has a home as long as I am alive, as well as the 8600 that I bought in '85 when I got out of High School
@@bigtractorpower I agree I worked at a Ford dealer and we turned one up for a farmer in Jackson county Indiana. It dyno'd at 95 hp. He wouldn't let anyone operate it. After going through one it was obvious how over built the 5000 was. I bet that tractor is still running.
@@marknicholson2718 those little 256s could be peppy with a turbo
Great video Jason! We had a Ford 6000 with selected speed 10 forward and 2 reverses. Had a Ford 5 bottom plow that we pulled behind it. The tractor and plow were red. Thanks for sharing! Have a great and awesome day!
Very cool. I hope to film a 6000 Commander some day?
I grew up in Ag from cattle ranching to row crop to pasture, to prarie haying, to orchards. We had a lot of brands of tractors; John Deere, Ford, Case, International, Farmall. I worked at a Ford tractor dealership when in college in the late 60's and early 70's, and I fell in love with the US 5000 general purpose. Sold a bunch of them, and got to demo and deliver: what a thrill for a farm boy. My next Ford down the line (not discounting the Jubalee) was the 6000 Ford with the select-o-speed 10 speed shift on the go.
Loved seeing the 9700 at work, that monster can out after i had graduated and married..
Nice video, love the Fords!
Ford built some great long lasting tractors. Growing up my neighbor had a dairy with a 9000, 7000 and two 5000s. I always enjoy featuring Ford tractors.
LOVE the drone footage
😁👍👍👍
That's a tractor from my youth. The farmer I worked for had a B-I-L that was a Ford dealer so he naturally ran Ford tractors. I sure miss the days when Ford made tractors and wish they had never gotten out of the business. IMO, the 8000/9000 and 8600/9600 were the best looking tractors Ford ever made.
My all time favorite FORD is a 9000 with a cab and duals. 😁👍
@@bigtractorpower I'd have to go along with that myself. And yeah, IMO, you gotta have the cab. :-)
Awesome footage of plowing the old time way! I'm sure it makes people more thankful for switch plows! Always great to look at where we come from! Tractor looks great to be that old! And it was cool seeing a newer cultivator as I haven't seen one in over 13 years! And that one was a two row corn cultivator in which my neighbor had that was at least 25 years old 13 years ago! Informative video my brother! God bless!
6610 have had mine for 34 years,love it !
👍👍
Me and my wife @80yearoldwoman have had ours for 50 years! It’s broken, but we get our dog to pull in if we dangle some grapes on a fishing top, so it works fine!
@@80yearoldman98 Ah, yes!
Oh, wow, great video! I‘d love to have a field like this, but we here in the italian alps have not so big farms. One day, when my son is a bit older, I come with my family to visit the US. Hope to see some farms too…
Greetings from south tyrol, the northest part of italy!
I hope you can make the trip. I find mountain farming very interesting with the walk behind machines.
The 9700 was very popular here in Northern Ireland for powering precision chop harvesters
Great video. My favorite Ford was a 9n with it's draft control plowing with a Deereborne 2 bottom plow. Tractor was dangerous as could be, but married with that plow, they flipped the earth of so many acres. Unfortunately mine blew up a couple years ago. Don't miss working on the points, condenser, or carburetor.
Grew up in the 80s driving a 9700 just like this. Love the memories. Still run blue, tw-35 and an 8830. Good tractors for the $.🙂
Ford made some great tractors. The 9700 and TWs were nice tractors.
We have a 7000 that dad bought new when I was 7. Forty-five yrs. later it's still at work, putting about 4K bales of haylage on the wrapper each yr. Front end had to be re-engineered by my brother yrs. ago to handle heavy loader work. It's very reliable and just keeps going!
I remember being fascinated by the size of the big 2 wheel drive tractor's. Ford 9000 and the Allis Chalmers D21 come to mind.
Wonderful Ford tractors, all of them..!
We had a Ford TW-30 that was used as the big tractor. It was a very heavy two wheel drive tractor.
This would've been a predecessor to the tw20. 30 was the first tractor i used in the field by myself. Dad hooked a 5-18s on it. Basically so there would be no issues pulling. I had to stand up to reach the clutch and reach over to put it in gear.lol
That tractor looks familiar!! You've done it again and got GREAT footage of one of my fav's in action! That ground is sure rolling over good! Funny story- we also got a dual power 7600 bought new in Springfield TN that after all these years just 2 years ago noticed it had the dual power decal missing on one side! Lol!! Great job again. That drone is great!
Brings back memories of a Ford 8700 4WD we bought new in 1979
Very cool.
Nothing looks better in the field than a Ford tractor
Absolute beautiful, the 8000, 9000 was also awesome machines
I had a toy one of these as a child, I spent hours pushing it around the sitting room floor attached to a New Holland bailer that used to drop little square bales out of the back.All made of metal they were fantastic.
I got to see two of these in regular use in the early 80s doing a variety of tasks in New Zealand. Impressive horsepower as I operated a David Brown 990.
Another great tractor and video. Thanks for sharing.
Man she’s strong as heck! 👍🏻. TW35 two wheel drive my all time favorite
I have a FWA TW35 II video on the way.
Nothing but raw power. Love the classic 2 wheel drive tractors. I got three 2 wheel drive tractors. Nice 9700, good video.
😁👍👍👍
Ran a Ford 9700 for seven years put lots of hours on it. I really liked running it had very sufficient power low maintenance nice unit.
😁👍
The drone shots are amazing👍😁 it's always great to see a ford tractor at work😉👍
😁👍
Now that's a very attractive small farm. Make a very interesting comparison with mega-thousand acre farms on the plains.
My Grandmother worked at the Ford Tractor Plant I live about 5 miles away from the the property I believe the Plant now is the Ford Cobra Engine Plant 👍
Very cool.
Ford 8n and Ford 8830 are both my favorite Ford tractors.
Love seeing that organic matter turned under. Thanks for the video.
We had a ford 7000 and a ford 4600 on our farm here in Eastern North Carolina. My favorite ford tractor is a Tw 35
No black smoke? This one must be special! The Fords (9700, 8700, TW20, etc) around our farm in the ‘80s were always easy to identify by a nice plume! We had a Ford 5700!
👍👍
i have a ford 3000 and it doesent smoke a bit
What is a 5700?
When i was young i plowed a lot of land in Ireland some of it was full of rocks and that was rough going but now i long for those days.
I miss the days of plowing. It is a rare sight these days with the large mulch rippers being so much faster.
Fantastic video on a great tractor and fresh looking tractor!!! My neighbours used to cut their own silage with one!! I can’t believe he’s ploughing what looks like a great crop of cover crop/grass???
I always loved those 9700
That's a lot of thick cover crop to turn over but that plow is doing a nice job. All kinds of different farming it takes to grow food. Thanks Jason. GO BTP💪
Agreed, I don’t take sides in Farming Practices. It takes All Different Kinds of Farming Practices to Fill All Different Kinds of Agriculture Markets.
The plow is doing excellent job turning over the cover crop.
👍👍
First time I saw the 9600 was in N C when i was 18 years old nice video
A great clip of the 9700 at work. My favourite ford would be the 9700.I,d love to source one sometime. I do happen to own a Ford 7910 4wd.1985 model. Very reliable and always does what's asked of it
Grow up on eastern NC tobacco farm between the john Deere's, Massey Ferguson, allis chambers, the fords were always at the top of my list to operate. 9700, 2/ 9600, 8600,7000 & 1 9n. Spent the best day's of ❤my life on a tractor of some kind.
AMEN
Always love the FORD TW 10 & 20 where I'm from they are popular
They great well built tractors.
That is a very nice setup!
😁👍
The best Ford 👍👍👍👍
My favorite Ford tractors: Ford 7600 with Ansel cab 2wd and Ford 4610 canopy with 7208 QA loader. I still have them and both are very clean.
By far my favorite Big Tractor Power video. The 9700 is my favorite tractor of all time and I love ours.
Thank you for watching. It was neat to to get to feature this great plowing team. Stay toned for a Ford 9600 and TW30 on the channel this spring.
Good Morning from New Zealand, Great Bigtractorpower Video, thanks for sharing, have a great week
Hi. Thank you for watching.
I dig the ol ford 9n with the funk conversion
Cool
We have a Ford 4,000 that we use for taking bales and it’s pretty fun to run
I have kinda always liked the tw series ford tractors
I have a TW35 video on the way.
Brilliant!
Thank you for watching.
Really enjoying the old iron you have been showing 👍
It’s fun finding the classics to share.
We had a 1980 TW-20 and our old 9700 would eat it up pulling 5-18" bottoms !! No cab no stereo in the 9700 but it was the boss !
😁👍
You do a wonderful job on these videos. Very good job!! I love tractors. But I like the pre emissions tractors. My favorite tractor is the John Deere 4450.
The 4450 is a solid tractor.
That's a nice set up
👍👍
Great video. The only thing missing is the wonderful smell of freshly turned soil.
😁👍👍
Excellent Ford video 👍👍👍
The 9700 is a great tractor. I want to find a 9000.
7710 series 2 two wheel drive would be my all time favorite ford tractor with tge 8630 power shit being a very close second spent alot of hours in both models
nice simple operation as farming should be....
Very good video and and always good to hear the information about the tractor
I always love to see mold boards turning ground!!
Me too. It’s a great time of year
@@bigtractorpower Just an FYI I love the videos you post. To see all the different types of equipment working is always fun and exciting!!
This is a awesome video!
Keeping a straight line without auto steer, A dying skill
That plow is buryi8ng all the grass really well.
1974 Ford 9600 platform tractor with a canopy that was my father's first new tractor that I still have. It has an easy life now as it goes to the county fair and pulls the transfer sled in the 15,000 lb farm stock class.
7710 and the tw5 are my favorite
👍👍
Leaving an aweful deep hole at the end of each pass. The exit from the pass is spot on, but the entry of each pass is another story. As your front wheel enters the furrow, lower your plow and the furrow will be covered. Also, forget you have a 3 point hitch to pick it up....use the hydraulics.
One of my favorite all time Ford tractors ... the 100 series tractors got the look sound etc, we had 400acres and a 7700 Blue Power Special rated at 110hp if i recall. The later tractor a Tw-5 fwa and a turbo was added bringing the hp to @140hp.
Did your 7700 blow lots of smoke till it was up to revs
@@lukereynolds9907 not a lot of smoke if I recall OK...
Wow 22 thousand dollars you can't even hardly get a compact tractor for that price now
My favorite Ford tractor is the Ford 5000 we have a 1971 English style with the safety cab I really like that tractor my granddaddy bought it brand new my granddaddy and my daddy had a M&W turbo charger kit put on it and had the motor bored out with bigger pistons she’s turning 105 at the pto I’m a Ford tractor man
I used to have a 9700 cold air not alot of power for 135hp. Kept it for 3 years.
Nothing better then the old fords. I run a 6610 now for all my field work my dream is to have a TW some day
👍👍
That's some nice plowing dirt there. That Ford doesn't even smoke when the plow is dropped in the ground...
They don't smoke much at all, we had a 1980 TW-10 pulling a Ford auto reset 5X18's ,used just 3 gallons an hour, also had a 1981 6700 BPS with the larger 268 6710 engine that used 1-1/2 - 2 gallons an hour, but the winner was our 1979 4600 SU, running our Heston 1090 9 foot mower conditioner it used under a gallon an hour.
@@poppie1946 that's some impressive stats!
I always liked the 9000 with set back front axle
The 9000 with a cab is my favorite Ford.
The family used the 9600 to pull a seven bottom m.f plow teamed with an 1155m.f pulling an 8 bottom. Both tractors hauled the potato harvesters in the fall on our farm on Prince Edward Island.
Very very cool.
We have a fully restored TW-20! Retrofitted with a mid mount long arm ditch mower. Solid built machinery 🙂
Very cool. Nice set up.
Just Wish the tractor had a creeper gear. The lowest gear is to fast sometimes but still a awesome set up!
That 9700 sounds good when it is under a load.
😁👍
I like the way he s set up he hasn't got to big of a plow for his tractor
👍👍
Hi Jimmy that’s my tractor. I had a 6 bottom Allis before this one and it was a bit much for what I do. Also have pulled a 4 bottom ih720. I feel like this 4 bottom is just right.
The Ford 4000 selectospeed was my favorite
👍👍
Very nice
Dad runs a 9700 ford every year baking hay and some tillage.
Nice
An awesome tractor
😁👍
