What Ford tractor did the FARMTRAC 45 copy?????

MotoXer · Feb 2, 2004

Does ANYONE know the answer to this? Which model Ford tractor was the Farm Trac 45 copied after? I'm wondering if the loader brackets from a Ford 3910 will fit the Farm Trac 45... The Ford 3910 is too far away to compare or measure, I need some wisdom here.
Thanks, RUSS /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

the 3910 is more like the Farmtrac 60 but I am not sure on wether or not they use the same loader. But if I remember I can check at work

The frame of the FarmTrac 45 and 60's are the same---take the same loader mounting frames. The only difference between the two are the tire/wheel sizes , hp, and the FT 60 comes standard with dual remote hydraulics.
And yes, they are real similar to the Ford 3910.
The 3910 loader frames will probably work---depending on the loader model. You may need to do some minor mods.

I found out that the BushHog loader brackets are the same part # for the Farmtrac 45, 60 and Ford 3930 but not the same for the 3910...that's weird.

I think I'm going to just buy a KOYKER loader for my 45...I think they're pretty good loaders.
Thanks guys, RUSS

I believe the reason for different mounts, has to do with the different steering systems used. The Farm Tracs and the 3930 have the newer style hydrostatic steering and the 3910 used "power assist" steering with the side arms running parallel to the frame.
We regularly install the Koyker 210 loader on the FarmTrac 45's & 60's as well as the LongAgribusiness loader. Both are a nice fit, and about the same price.
