Udimore Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 1982-92 aprox 96-97hp As if you care :laugh: Sorry I should of said Aug 17th 1981 - April 14th 1992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 As I said earlier, the Marge 7610 is expensive but it is almost 100% accurate. I will have to knock the beer on the head for a bit to get it past the wife, but I will be having the Marge 7610. The UH model is never going to be anywhere near that level of accuracy, and the bit thats not correct is the business end!!! The wheels are wrong on the Marge model, as is the air intake. Not too sure about the working lights either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 1982-92 aprox 96-97hp As if you care :laugh: The 7610 had 103 HP & the 7610 Force 3 had 105HP. The 7600 had 97 HP alright & the Powerplus 7600 had 103HP. The 7000 had 94 HP. Now i maybe wrong but those figs are going by FORD sales brochures of the era.

nick a Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 i have just looked in salesman handbook for 7610, service bulletin for its launch, a spec sheet and various brochures too ! so i know the answer . but as usual so does everybody else so carry on lads, i am not saying because the amount of aggro you get on here these days someone else always knows better IN GENERAL. So from now on i am no longer prepared to share ford and ford new holland knowledge which i gained as a fully trained technician.

justy 46 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Maybe Stuart Gibbard is wrong so. Its like the way he states it the 10 series Force 1 tractors inherted the PowerPlus 600 series engines which makes alot of sence with the quest for power in a small package to meet farmers demands in the era. The 7610 did leap on power from the 7600s old power fig of 97HP you would think. The Powerplus 7600s did finsh their production run with a 103 HP rating,so why would Ford drop the power rating on the 7610 back down to 97HP when it could have had 103 HP? Sorry guys it makes no sence! \ Come on Nick a . Tell us & end off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Denis. I knew i was right! I picked up on of those brouchers at the Cork Summer show years ago at the show grounds & had those powerfigs off by heart as a young lad. Those brouchers are well gone by the way. :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justy 46 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Its not bad is it Did you notice the hp :laugh: Yeah i did. Cant say thats offical ether. \ Maybe ye got the 97HP ones in the UK & WE GOT THE 103HP ones . :laugh: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 An internet search brought up 97hp, 100hp, 101hp and 103hp So i'd say rated horse power is between 97 and 103hp (Gross!!) Maybe different hp results are provided by different people and in different literature because different tractors were used on different measuring machines? Anyway, i'd like to know Nick's answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udimore Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I know I'm 88 and I can guarantee on Marky's favourite scampi and chips that the one we had was 97hp..even me n the old man agree on that :laugh: ..but maybe a can of worms has been opened and I'm sure there must of been differences Mr Nigel Ford will know as he used to race to ploughing matches despite some dodgy over taking with the oldman. Heres another nice one from the same year that Marky is gonna buy for me http://www.agriaffaires.co.uk/used/farm-tractor/1888473/ford-7610.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Yeah i did. Cant say thats offical ether. \ Maybe ye got the 97HP ones in the UK & WE GOT THE 103HP ones . :laugh: :laugh: Wouldn't surprise me. In the UK a 7610 2wd would be asked to pull an 8 tonne tandem axle with brakes, and lights, and all sorts of mad yokes. In Ireland it would be asked to pull a tandem axle, alloy body, chopped down 8x4, with greedy boards, to Carlow and back before breakfast, so you could get the bus to school.
