Model 2000

[Harold J]

Could anyone tell me what the horse power is on
a Ford Model 2000

And would this tractor run a 6' Rotor Tiler ?

Appreciate any help

Take care and have a great Day

about 36 engine and 31 pto for the 4 cyl gas and diesel.. 3 cyl are close to same range. in some cases you see minor differences in hp listed vs the 144 diesel and 134 gasser 4 cyl, and the
157ci 3 cyl models.. but all are close.

rototillers require very low ground speeds.

you *might* get away with a very small tiller.. like a 48" job in non-virgin soil on a 5spd.. however an 8spd or a 10spd is reccomended.. 6' is kinda big.. I would not advise it.

Appreciate the Heads up and the quick response.

Take Care

Beins you are on the subject sir, since you apparently know, where is the 3000D 3 cyl. They never publish engine/ptp/drawbar hp or torque curves in Ford owners or service manuals. Very annoying. MF does and i learned that my little MF35 with Perkie 3 cyl diesel has the torque curve peak at 1000 rpm and pretty flat out from there. So when you think you are going to lug it, guess again. Little sucker just keeps tugging.

Oh, I have the early version with the smaller 172 cu in engine, not the later 205 or whatever.

well.. there's always the nebraska tests....

Some years of sales literature had hp/torque curves printed in them. I'll try to remember to look... the one I'm thinking of in in my garage right now. The 3000 diesel should be 38-40 h.p. at the PTO, depending on the year. Probably about 8 h.p. higher for the engine figure, and about 8 lower for drawbar. (all 3000 diesels were 175 c.i., but later models were rated a bit higher)

Book I was thinking of didn't have graphs for ag tractors, only some of the industrials. Did have lots of figures for all '73 models though.
'73 3000 diesel: net flywheel h.p.: 41.4
PTO h.p.: 6-speed 40.6, 8-speed 39.2, Select-O-Speed 38.0
drawbar h.p.: 6-speed 36.0, 8-speed 36.1, SOS 33.3
Maximum torque is 118 ft.-lbs. at 1150 rpm.

Thanks. Looks like if the guy got a 2000 rather than a 3000 he didn't get hurt all that much in workability.

Nice to know the torque peak is at 1100. Sorta figured that as you can be at a pretty low rpm and let the clutch out and like the MF, it just starts tugging. Make sense too to have it low on a tractor so that when it loads up the torque increase helps to offset the added load.
