New Holland Origin:
Founded in Pennsylvania in 1895, with early success in farm implements and automatic hay balers.
Ford Acquisition:
Ford Tractor Operations acquired New Holland in 1985, leading to the 'Ford New Holland' branding on tractors.
Production Period:
Tractors covered by this manual were produced during the transitionary Ford New Holland era, preceding Ford's divestment of its farm machinery operations.
Parent Company Evolution:
Ford sold a majority interest to FIAT in 1990. The Ford name was dropped by 2000. CNH Global (Case New Holland) was formed in 1999, continuing the New Holland brand.
