Ford 6000 weight FAQ
How much does a Ford 6000 weigh?
The Ford 6000 weighs 7,405 lb (3,358 kg) using the published Operating figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 6,500 to 9,545 lb (2,948 to 4,329 kg).
What is the operating weight of the Ford 6000 compared with shipping weight?
Published operating weight is 7,405 lb (3,359 kg), versus 6,500 lb (2,948 kg) for shipping weight. That is roughly 905 lb (13.9%) more than shipping weight. Operating weight is generally the more useful starting point when estimating a ready-to-use tractor.
How much does the Ford 6000 weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 9,545 lb (4,330 kg). That is up to 3,045 lb (46.8%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the Ford 6000 a lightweight row-crop tractor?
Yes. The representative figure sits at about the 18th percentile, lighter than roughly 82% of the row-crop tractor peers. That puts it in the light range for this comparison. It is 6,601 lb lighter than the peer-group average of 14,006 lb.
What is the Ford 6000 weight-to-horsepower ratio?
Using the page’s representative 7,405 lb weight and 66.9 hp power figure, the tractor carries about 110.7 lb per horsepower. A lower lb/hp number means less tractor mass for each horsepower; this is a comparison metric, not a traction or performance rating.
How many tons does the Ford 6000 weigh?
The representative published weight is about 3.7 US tons, while the full published range is 3.25–4.77 US tons. Loaded transport weight can be higher than the tractor specification.
