The Ford 2100, 2110, 3100, 4100, 4110, 4140, and 4200 tractors were a series of utility farming machines produced by Ford Motor Company in the 1960s and 1970s. These models represented a significant evolution in Ford's tractor offerings, departing from the earlier, simpler designs and introducing a range of features aimed at enhancing performance, comfort, and versatility. Each model within the series targeted specific agricultural needs, with the "2" and "3" series addressing smaller farms and light-duty tasks, while the "4" series focused on more substantial farm operations and demanding applications. The 2100 and 2110 models were both All-Purpose tractors designed for versatility, but the 2110 featured a Low Center Gravity (L.C.G.) configuration, ideal for working on sloping terrain. The 3100, also an All-Purpose tractor, offered more power and advanced features than its 2000-series counterparts. The 4100 series expanded on the 3100's capabilities, offering further power increases and a choice between All-Purpose, L.C.G., and Special Utility (S.U.) variants. The 4140, specifically designed for S.U. applications, was equipped for specialized tasks involving heavier implements and demanding conditions. The 4200 model was a Row Crop tractor, optimized for working in row crops with its wider wheelbase and clearance for planting rows.
The Ford 2100-4200 series tractors were powered by Ford's reliable diesel engines, offering a range of horsepower options depending on the model. These machines incorporated a variety of innovative features for their time, including hydraulic systems for effortless implement control, adjustable wheelbase configurations to adapt to various field conditions, and comfortable operator stations with optional features like air conditioning. These tractors quickly gained popularity among farmers for their durability, efficiency, and ability to handle a wide array of tasks. The series represented a significant leap forward in agricultural technology and helped solidify Ford's position as a leader in the tractor market. Their legacy continues to be felt today, with these tractors still actively used by some farmers and collectors alike, serving as a testament to their enduring quality and performance.
