The 2000 "V" is powered by a water-cooled three-cylinder diesel engine of 2,588 cc, producing 34 hp, or 25 kW, at 2,000 rpm. At a weight of 1,338 kg, a length of 3,100 mm, a height of 1,350 mm and a width of 1,054 mm, with a wheelbase of 2,032 mm, the machine reaches a top speed of 20 km/h.
A three-cylinder engine of around 2.6 litres and 25 kW belonged among the smaller general-purpose tractors of the 1960s, built for tillage with lighter implements, mowing and general transport on smaller and medium-sized farms. The narrow width of only 1,054 mm eased work in tighter lanes compared with wider standard tractors. The power take-off on such tractors typically runs at the standardised 540 rpm, allowing a wide range of mounted implements to be driven.
When buying a Ford 2000 "V" (Dexta) secondhand, the condition of the clutch and gearbox, the cooling system of the water-cooled engine, and the injection pump and injectors of the diesel engine matter most. Also worth checking are corrosion on sheet-metal and frame parts and the brakes, and on such an old model the condition of seals and rubber hoses; spare parts for this common series are usually readily available on the open market.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
