    Ford Workmaster 641 Hydrolics

    Thanks for the advice on the pump location Paul. Found it. I'm having trouble loading pics from my phone on here so will have to do so tonight. Some clearer information on the issue though is that the hydraulics work in position control, but won't work at all when we turn on the draft control...

    Ford Workmaster 641 Hydrolics

    We have a 641 Ford Workmaster tractor that is loosing pressure for the hydro lice/ they stopped working. There seems to be some sort of add on part where we're assuming there used to be a lever to control the height of the arm lift (we read this in the original manual). Anyway, we need to check...

    Ford workmaster ground speed w/ implements issues

    Haha 179 degrees wrong. My husband and I got a good laugh out of that. But seriously thanks for the honest feedback. We had to go buy a top link for the 3 point hitch as the tractor was missing this piece. I'm not sure how long this one extends- we might need to get a longer one to level up this...

    Ford workmaster ground speed w/ implements issues

    Paul I love the story of your parents attempting to plow their field! Our land has been very neglected and I'm sure part of whats out their on the top half might even be fill dirt. It is incredibly hard and dry with some rocks and lots of clay. It's going to take a few years, a lot of rock...

    Ford workmaster ground speed w/ implements issues

    Paul- We did get a 4 speed. The guy we bought it from said it had a live PTO which when I looked it up seems to have been a feature w/ the 5 speed. There are clearly only 4 gears indicated on the shifter stick so idk what he thought. He was very knowledgeable about tractors in general but was a...

    Ford workmaster ground speed w/ implements issues

    Thanks I'll keep an eye out for that. Would be cheaper/ easier than a small fleet of several tractors I think most serious farmers end up with. The Workmaster is certainly prettier than the Massey though apparently not as useful. :wink:

    Yes there are also pictures of our (2) Highland cows, 3 pigs, and HighlandX calf. We squeeze a lot out of our land :D https://www.instagram.com/springboardfarm/?hl=en If you scroll down the page far enough you'll see the tractor....

    Ford workmaster ground speed w/ implements issues

    I think we're going to go the disc route. So glad I posted on this forum before totally having a breakdown about our $3K mistake lol. We love the tractor as well- she's been taken care of and makes a beautiful prop for my flower pictures!! :D We're looking to grow tulips, sweet peas...

    Ford workmaster ground speed w/ implements issues

    Thanks for all the helpful comments about moving on from this oversight. The guy we bought the 2 bottom plow from actually had a disc he was selling as well so we'll have to contact him and see about trying that instead of the rototiller. I also found a Ford 2000 model tractor for sale locally...

    Ford workmaster ground speed w/ implements issues

    Thanks RobCons for the alternate approach. It did seem to pull the plow great as quite a bit of HP needed to do so. This ground has never before been worked so that was another consideration. It seems crazy to me that each tractor seems to excel at one or 2 uses. I feel like I need a fleet of...

    Ford workmaster ground speed w/ implements issues

    My husband and I just bought a 1961 Ford Workmaster Tractor to plow/till our very poor (somewhat rocky/ clay) 2 acres to grow cut flowers. (48hp/ 30PTO hp) When researching tractors in our limited budget I was more concerned w/ getting a tractor with a PTO HP of 25-30 HP due to our heavy soil...
