The Ford 1310 is a 2WD or 4WD compact utility tractor. This model was manufactured by Shibaura built from 1983 to 1986. The Ford 1310 tractor is powered by Shibaura S753 three-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine with a maximum power of 19.1 Hp (14.2 kW) and 53 Nm (39 lb-ft) max torque at 1800 rpm.

The Ford 1310 tractor is fitted with 2 types of transmission. Type 1: 12x4 unsynchronized gear transmission. Type 2: 12x4 partially synchronized transmission. The maximum forward speed - 11.9 mph (19.2 kph), maximum reverse speed - 9.8 mph (15.8 kph).

The open center hydraulic system used a gear pump with a rated fluid flow of 6.4 gpm (24.2 lpm). The hydraulic system pressure is 147 bar (2135 psi). The 2-wheel drive models are equipped with 4.00x12 front tires and 8.3x24 rear tires. The 6.00x12 or 25x8.50-14 front tires and 12.4x16 or 13.6x28 rear tires are used for tractors with 4-wheel drive. The wheelbase is 63" (1600 mm).
