Ford 5000 at work

Dad and I moved about 70 volunteer trees in the last couple days to great a barrier at the road. Saw the 5000 sitting there and thought it looked good so snapped a pic. Don?t totally love the sos but it is a horse or at least for me.

Nice!

How big a tree can you handle, I?m sure different species is different but, about.

A 5000 Is on my bucket list, I have a 3000 BUT would like a bit bigger tractor with a FEL. Love the pictures, Thank you for posting. Dsmythe
 
What don't you like about sos? I've never had one but if they are working I would think they are next best thing to sliced bread.
 
The 5000 is one of the best tractors ever built, but I agree, I'd rather have the eight speed than the SOS. One of the farmers I worked for had two of them with SOS's - they weren't the smoothest shifting transmission.
He had one of them one the blower and forgot to disengage the transmission. It dropped into reverse while running wide open - made and awful mess of the blower
