Chris Taylor Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Nice pics! So are they all most the same as the old fords? I have never seen one in person but have seen a few pics. It looks like it has seen some better days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Yeah there were a number of conversion companies back in the day which used Ford skids to produce 4wd variants and variants for other applications. County and Roadless are two of the most distinctive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like it has seen some better days. Apparently based on the Ford 4000 and others of its era. I think they added 4wd and possibly upped the power.

This site has some good info: buthttp://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/tractor-brands/county/county-tractors.html Looking at some photos of old Ford 4000s in the UK, they look totally different to the machines they would become, similar in form to the Britains 5000/6600.

CMB Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 super pics, where were they taken? dads worked in the forestry for 30 od years, he might know the guy Forestry Commission plantation south of Machyntlleth.
