Unfortunately this site won't let you post a link to other sites that it considers to be its competition, so in classic view the name of the other site shows up as "externel-link" and in modern view your thread shows up but the post itself doesn't show up at all.
 

I just saw a Ford 3000 orchard with fenders still there on the salvage yard of all states ag parts, kern County, CA.
This has to be very rare?
 
Unusual might be a better term than rare.
And in certain areas, they might be
fairly common... more orchards in CA or
FL than here in northern WI.
Is it a true orchard model, or a 3000
with orchard fenders? I have a 4000SU
with orchard fenders. A true orchard
model will have the fenders, plus a
horizontal exhaust, grill mounted
headlights, and a recessed air intake.
 
My references do not actually mention a true 3000 orchard, only a narrow orchard. Same as the parts site. They list a standard orchard and a narrow orchard for the 3 cylinder 4000 series:

3300 - 3000 series vineyard
3310 - 3000 series narrow
3330 - 3000 series narrow orchard

4300 - 4000 series vineyard
4310 - 4000 series narrow
4330 - 4000 series narrow orchard
4340 - 4000 series orchard
 
To clarify... by "true", I meant a
tractor factory equipped for orchard
work, not just orchard fenders slapped on
a regular tractor, like my 4000SU. Mine
doesn't even have a horizontal exhaust.
 
Here are pictures from the internet website. When I said that I saw it, it means that I saw it in their list of fresh tractors, so it should not be scrapped yet.
