Ford/EVA 1000-series (6Y) – the 5095 and 6.500 (A): six-cylinder diesel of 5,409 to 5,948 cm³, around 69.9 kW, unladen weight 3,000 to 3,550 kg
Ford built its European farm tractors of this generation at plants in Basildon, England, and Antwerp, Belgium. The 5095 and 6.500 types of this range carry six-cylinder engines and thus sit at the upper end of Ford's model range of the time; the A suffix on the 6.500 marks a particular finish variant. Both types ranked among the more powerful farm tractors on the European continent during the 1970s.

The register lists here 2 versions with around 69.9 kW from six-cylinder engines of 5,409 to 5,948 cm³ displacement and 303 to 324 Nm of torque, with unladen weights from 3,000 to 3,550 kg, lengths from 3,900 to 4,520 mm, widths from 1,950 to 2,030 mm and a height of 2,400 mm.
It is notable that both types are rated at the same nominal output despite their different displacement. The range occupied a fixed power band at the top of Ford's line-up for large arable farms, competing there with comparable models from Massey Ferguson and International Harvester.
When buying used, check operating hours and condition of the six-cylinder engine, the condition of the clutch and gearbox under heavy load, rust on the frame and body panels, and the tightness of the hydraulics. Equally important is the condition of the tyres, brakes and lighting system. Spares for this Ford range come through dealers specialising in classic tractors.

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.
