The Ford 5000 was produced from 1964 to 1975 by Ford and was well known for its Blue and White livery. It was a mid-range tractor, suitable for European farms. The North American version was slightly different and was named the Ford Major. The Ford 5000 sold exceptionally well in Great Britain and replaced the long-running Fordson Major which was a worldwide hit. It sold especially well because it slotted into the mid-sized range, which catered for almost every British farmer and was in the top ten best-selling list of tractors sold in Great Britain until 2005.
In current ownership since 2000, the owner purchased 'DFU 23L' in order to maintain his private small-holding, however, it proved very popular with young family members who wanted to ride aboard the Ford on family visits. Displaying 6911/ 4 hours of use and showing just 3 former keepers on HPI, the Ford 5000 has previously been serviced by an agricultural engineer. It is being offered with the current V5C Registration Document and was running and driving well upon our inspection.
