I have my dad’s ‘68-ish 4000 that he converted to diesel by installing a ‘96-ish 3-cylinder out of a New Holland backhoe, and that thing will do just about  anything I need it to do. All it would need would be a front end loader and it’d be about perfect for what the OP is describing. (Mine is not for sale, though.)That’s one of the nice things about those 3-cylinder Fords—those engines will interchange from the late ’60s up to the late ‘90s. I’m told that they even kept using them in New Holland tractors for many years after Ford sold off that business.I also have my dad’s ‘13 Massey Ferguson 2615. It’s a similar size and power rating as the gasoline version of the 4000 (48hp, IIRC), but that diesel 4000 is so much more capable that it’s not even funny.</blockquote>
