The Ford 6610 is an agricultural tractor manufactured by Ford in 1981. As part of the 6.610 series, this model positions itself as the successor to the Ford 6600 and represents a specific generation in the manufacturer's product line. The design follows a unitized construction, where the engine and transmission form a load-bearing unit. The vehicle is designed for use in field and farm operations and utilizes a diesel engine as its power source. This construction allows for compact integration of components, facilitating maintenance and access to key parts.
The tractor is powered by a water-cooled four-cylinder diesel engine that delivers 72 hp (60.3 kW) at a rated speed of 2,100 rpm. A torque rise of 12% ensures that the engine does not immediately lose power under increasing load during field operations, which is important for consistent traction during tillage work. With a top speed of 30 km/h, the vehicle is designed for transport on public roads and paths. Rear-wheel drive transmits power to the rear axle, while a ground clearance of 470 mm allows for sufficient obstacle clearance in the field. The dimensions, with a length of 3,720 mm and a width of 1,940 mm, define the space requirements for maneuvering and transport.
Within the series, the Ford 6610 directly follows its predecessor, the Ford 6600. This sequence demonstrates the continuous development of the model series in 1981. As the successor to the Ford 6600, it assumes its position in the product range and continues the manufacturer's technical line in this segment. Its classification as a successor model underscores the significance of this type for equipping the agricultural fleet with contemporary standards at the time of production.
Ford – other models: the collective page of tractors outside the named ranges, from the Thousand series through the 10 series to the articulated tractors with Cummins and Caterpillar engines, 10 to 300 kW
This page gathers the Ford tractors the register could not assign to a named range – from small utility tractors of the North American and British plants to the heavy articulated tractors of the Versatile brand, taken over by Ford in the late 1980s. Ford had built farm tractors since 1917, first in Dearborn, from the 1930s also in Dagenham, England; the post-war 600 to 900 models led in 1965 into the Thousand series (2000, 3000, 4000, 5000), replaced in 1975 by the generation with a leading 0. From 1981 came the 10 series (2110 to 8210), in which the first two digits give the size and the last the generation; SU marks the narrow-track Utility version. The big articulated tractors, formerly built under the Versatile name in Winnipeg, ran from 1987 as the Ford FW with Cummins and Caterpillar engines; after the merger with New Holland in 1991 the independent Ford range ended.

The register lists here 237 versions with 9.7 to 300 kW from two- to eight-cylinders of 1,390 to 14,801 cm³, PTO outputs up to 163 hp, unladen weights from 1,061 to 14,200 kg, gross weights from 2,280 to 11,400 kg, lengths from 2,410 to 7,600 mm and widths from 1,070 to 2,845 mm; the engines are mostly Ford's own, Cummins and Caterpillar in the big articulated tractors.
For decades Ford was, alongside International Harvester, Massey Ferguson and John Deere, one of the best-selling tractor brands of North America and Europe, focused on utility tractors for family farms; the FW-range articulated tractors competed in the top power segment with Steiger and Case IH.
On used tractors, engine condition, clutch and gearbox synchros count on the older ranges, hydraulics and electrics on the 10 series, and on the articulated tractors operating hours, condition of the four-wheel drive and tyres, and parts supply for the Cummins or Caterpillar engines, which today runs outside the Ford network.

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.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
