Ford tractors became New Holland after Ford sold its agricultural division in 1991 to Fiat. Fiat already owned New Holland, so they merged the two brands under the New Holland name. It was a way to streamline the business and build on New Holland’s reputation in the farming world.
The tractors themselves didn’t lose their quality, though—New Holland kept using Ford’s engineering while adding its own innovations. So, if you see an older "Ford New Holland" tractor, it’s from that transitional time when the two brands were coming together. They’re still solid machines with a long legacy of reliability.
