how many fords is to many

[cody93]

ford didn't make boats, but alot of boats with OMC stern drives had ford engines, they used the 460, 302 and 2.3l. there were even a couple of mercruisers with fords too. i used to be a marine mechanic and would ocassonally see one.

Do you really want to do that to yourself?

I'm talking like a 1220 or 1320, something that would class as a CUT. Don't need anything really big, just want a live PTO, be able to run a brush hog, sickle bar mower, backhoe. Prolly throw a bucket on the front.

Own 9 Fords well a couple of them are Mecurys. None newer than 88
Ford also used their inline 6s in boats.
They also produced a 3 wheel "Bike" using the Focus drive train

That is just a big lawn mower...

How big of a shredder/sickle mower can they handle?

Really once you get onto it live power isn't that big of a whoo hoo. It would be nice for a loader but for mowing/blading/moving dirt I get a long just fine without it (kick out the PTO if need to stop in a hurry with the mower though)

lol, yea, pretty much just an overgrown lawn mower.

No idea how big of a sickle bar they can handle. I only need about a 5' bar to trim the banks I have though. I'd rather run along them on the tractor than try to weedeat it all. And it would be nice to have a post hole auger and a rototiller for it. Basically I want to start getting my own power equipment to allow me to complete my usual tasks faster so I can spend more time on other projects.
