The Featured Tractor this year
is the
Ford and Fordson Tractors |
|
Ford produced its first tractor design
in 1907 but the first commercial model did not enter production until
1917. Due to copyright complications Ford tractors were badged as Fordson
until the mid-1950s. Ford acquired the New Holland company in 1986 and
formed Ford New Holland, which was itself taken over by Fiat in 1991,
with the Ford named finally disappearing in 2001.

The Fordson Model F was without
doubt the most influential and commercially important design in tractor
history, it's impact still dominates conventional tractor design. Three
quarters of a million units of the Model F were sold from 1917 to 1928,
more than any other tractor before or since.
