Ford New Holland 5600 Tractor Parts

The Ford 5600 was introduced in 1975 as part of the '00 series, replacing earlier Ford tractor models. Production continued through 1981, establishing it as a staple for many farms. The 5600 is equipped with a Ford 3.3L (201 CID) 3-cylinder diesel engine producing approximately 52 engine horsepower. Some models were also available with a gasoline engine. Its transmission is typically an 8-speed gear transmission offering a good range of speeds for various field operations. The PTO delivers around 45 horsepower at 540 RPM. The hydraulic system boasts a capacity of approximately 9.5 GPM to operate implements and the 3-point hitch, typically a Category II, capable of lifting over 3000 lbs. The 5600 was used in various applications including row crop work, hay production, livestock operations, and general tillage. Compared to the larger Ford 6600, the 5600 offered a more compact and maneuverable option, while still providing ample power for most farming tasks, solidifying its spot in Ford's utility tractor lineup.
