Ford Tractor Legacy:
Ford Tractor Co. was a foundational manufacturer of agricultural machinery, known for reliability and innovation. This manual covers the transition and continued development under the Ford New Holland banner.
New Holland Acquisition:
The acquisition of Ford's tractor division by Fiat ultimately led to the formation of New Holland, integrating Ford's legacy with Fiat's agricultural machinery expertise.
Series Development:
Series 10 and 30 represent significant iterations in Ford's tractor lineup, incorporating advancements in engine technology, hydraulics, and operator comfort. The Series 30 models often saw integration of New Holland design elements.
Production Period:
The Series 10 tractors were primarily produced from the late 1970s through the 1980s. The Series 30 tractors were introduced in the late 1980s and continued into the 1990s, overlapping with New Holland's acquisition.
