The Ford 5000 stopped production in 1976 and I'm shooting for something in the 90's. I'm also shooting for MFWD, so that automatically gets me into the 80's. For example, the Ford 4600 was 4x2 from '75-'81. MFWD started with the 4610 from '82 to '89.
Ive mentioned before I sell used equipment mostly tractors and id rather have a ford 5000 over most tractors you've mentioned.. The only drawback is its not 4x4. Ford made some tough tractors. I bought a new Kubota last year had so many problems had almost 20 trips back to the dealer before it ever got 23 hours on it.
My favorite all round tractors are the JD4020 and Ford 5000 so I am a little jaded on everything else. I have a few loader tractors and one im found on most often is the jd 3020 I like 4x4 on a loader tractor for sure but for work around the farm from getting silage brewers grain and moving dirt or hay in my area a 2 wheel drive works fine unless extremely wet.
