The Ford New Holland 276V tractor, a workhorse in its time, provided reliable service to farmers. While specific production years require further verification, these tractors typically featured a diesel engine in the 50-60 horsepower range. Known for their robust build and practical design, the 276V was popular for its dependable PTO horsepower and versatility in various farming operations.
The Ford New Holland 276V tractor, though specific production dates are difficult to pinpoint without further research, was likely manufactured during the late 1980s or early 1990s. These tractors were powered by a diesel engine; likely a Shibaura or similar manufacturer, producing around 50-60 horsepower. Engine displacement would have been in the 2.5-3.0 liter range. The transmission was typically a gear-type, offering multiple forward and reverse speeds for flexibility in the field.
