Welcome no shortage of folks who agree with you (always wanted/needed a tractor). Myself included. I needed one but wanted one I didn;t have to work on all the time.

Look through the old posts and I bet you learn something along the way.

Yep 4630 Ford, 1993 year, 4wd with bonfield front loader . Sorry don't know what FEL or MFWD means...... New to all this.
I do have a hydraulic leak from the deluxe remote, so that is the first repair.... Probably of many, so hoping this forum is a great place to help.

Awesome, FEL is Front End Loader, Check,

MFWD: Mechanical Front Wheel Drive. Check

4630 MFWD with loader, That was my dream tractor.

My 3000 Ford was a great tractor and I think you will really like the 4630, It is a really robustly built utility class machine.

I am not familiar with that loader brand

How about some pictures of the new Ford? We members Love Pics @ TBN

While we wait, here is a picture of a used cabbed 4630.

So much to Like with this Ford model.

Heavy duty front axle including planetary hubs. Made to work and with the 3 cylinder large bore diesel it keeps the wheelbase a bit shorter than the 4 cylinder Fords, which also helps when working in tight quarters.
These older Fords will pull hard with excellent torque, even down at 800 RPM.
Another desirable feature- No small diameter rough riding front tires.

12.4" x 24" R1's a full 45 inches in diameter... bigger than some CUT REAR tires.

I am excited for the OP, these are Very capable machines. Congrats !


tractordata info is Impressive: Lots of PTO power.

PTO HP tested @ 56.8 HP
Cat 2 or 1 and lift of over 3K lb.
FELs are from 2300-2700lb to full height at pins.

Here she is for all those asking

Quick question I need to replace the o rings in spool valves, any idea part number or size and where to get in the UK.

Thanks

Leadshot , the 4630, looks solid and a cab as well. New tractors are nice to have, but to get a new MFWD cabbed tractor these days that can do more work than a 4630 are big money.

Congrats again and May the Ford serve you well.
