Ford 276
The Ford 276 is a powerful 4-wheel drive tractor built for tough farm work. It has a strong 116 hp diesel engine with 4 cylinders. This engine is turbocharged, which means it can do more work with less fuel. The tractor has a special steering system called "articulated power" that makes it easy to turn in tight spaces. One of the best things about the Ford 276 is its hydrostatic transmission. This means you can change speeds smoothly without shifting gears. It has infinite forward and reverse speeds in 3 ranges, so you can always find the right speed for your job. The tractor also has a closed center load sensing hydraulic system, which helps it lift heavy tools easily. With a weight of 13,500 lb, it's a sturdy machine that can handle big tasks. It has good ground clearance of 24 inches, which helps it work well in rough fields.
