The Ford 4600 tractor, a stalwart of American agriculture, was a versatile and reliable workhorse that served farmers and ranchers across the country from its introduction in 1965 until its discontinuation in 1975. This model belonged to Ford's "4000" series, known for their rugged construction and robust powertrain. The Ford 4600 was powered by a 6-cylinder, 4.1-liter diesel engine, generating a respectable 80 horsepower. Its three-point hitch system allowed for a wide range of implements to be attached, from plows and cultivators to harrows and balers. The tractor also featured a live PTO (power take-off) system for powering external equipment like rotary mowers and feed grinders. The 4600 was designed with durability in mind, incorporating a sturdy cast-iron transmission and heavy-duty axles to handle demanding agricultural tasks.
The Ford 4600 tractor was lauded for its ease of operation, comfortable seating, and efficient fuel consumption. With its combination of power, versatility, and reliability, the Ford 4600 quickly gained a reputation as a reliable and productive farm machine. While production ended in 1975, its legacy lives on in the countless farms and ranches where it continues to perform its duties, a testament to the quality and engineering that defined Ford's tractors during the "golden age" of American agriculture. The Ford 4600 remains a popular choice for collectors and enthusiasts, and replacement parts are readily available through specialized suppliers and online marketplaces.
