Ford 3600 (A): water-cooled three-cylinder diesel tractor from the 600 series, 2,862 cc, 34.6 kW and 1,810 kg weight, built 1981 to 1993
Ford was an American vehicle manufacturer whose tractor division built its own farm machinery in North America and Europe for decades before it was sold to the Italian Fiat group in 1991 and absorbed into New Holland. The 3600 (A) from the 600 series was built from 1981 to 1993 and, during that time, ranked among the manufacturer's compact to medium general-purpose tractors.

The 3600 (A) is powered by a water-cooled three-cylinder diesel engine of 2,862 cc, producing 47 hp, or 34.6 kW, at 2,000 rpm. At a weight of 1,810 kg, a length of 3,232 mm, a height of 2,270 mm and a width of 1,695 mm, with a wheelbase of 1,927 mm, it is a compact tractor with a top speed of 30 km/h.
A three-cylinder diesel engine of this size belongs to the lower to medium power class of field tractors and was built for tillage with lighter to medium implements, mowing and loading work, and for driving mounted implements through the power take-off, which runs at a standard 540 or 1,000 rpm. With a design top speed of 30 km/h, the machine falls into driving-licence category T.
When buying such an old Ford tractor secondhand, the condition of the diesel engine's injection pump and injectors, visible corrosion on sheet-metal and frame parts, and wear in the clutch and gearbox matter most. Also worth checking are the brakes and, if fitted, the hydraulic system for mounted implements; spare parts for this common Ford series are usually readily available through the open parts trade.
