Heritage:
Ford's agricultural heritage dates back to the early 20th century, evolving into New Holland through acquisitions, representing a long lineage of reliable and innovative farm machinery.
Evolution:
The 4630 is part of the broader Ford 30-Series (and earlier 10-Series) tractor lines, which were developed as successors to earlier models, incorporating advancements in engine technology, hydraulics, and operator comfort. These tractors represent a transition period for Ford's agricultural division before the New Holland branding became dominant.
Related Models:
Directly related to models like the 3930, 4130, 4830, and shares components and design principles with earlier Ford 10-series tractors (e.g., 3610, 4610) and later New Holland models.
Production Period:
The Ford 4630 and its closely related 10-series and 30-series siblings were primarily produced from the late 1980s through the 1990s.
