The 5000 (A) is powered by a water-cooled four-cylinder engine of 3,814 cc, producing 62 hp, or 45.6 kW, at 2,100 rpm. At a weight of 2,519 kg, a length of 3,630 mm, a height of 2,350 mm and a width of 1,730 mm, with a wheelbase of 2,223 mm, the machine reaches a top speed of 20 km/h.
A four-cylinder engine of nearly 3.8 litres and around 46 kW belonged, in the 1960s and 1970s, to the upper mid-range of field tractors, built for tillage with larger implements, working with heavier trailers and a wide range of tasks through the power take-off. The availability of both diesel and petrol versions was still common at the time and let the buyer choose according to available fuel and intended use. The power take-off on such tractors typically runs at the standardised 540 rpm, allowing a wide range of PTO-driven implements to be used.
When buying a Ford 5000 (A) secondhand, the condition of the clutch and gearbox, the cooling system of the water-cooled engine, and, on the diesel version, the injection pump and injectors matter most. Also worth checking are corrosion on sheet-metal and frame parts and the brakes; spare parts for this common Ford series are usually readily available on the open market.
