The story of Ford tractors spans nearly seven decades, from their introduction in 1917 to the purchase by Fiat in 1991. This comprehensive history covers the development of both Ford and Fordson tractors, with a focus on their parallel evolution in the UK and US. The book explores the key milestones in the development of these iconic tractors, including the first Ford tractor produced during World War I, the introduction of diesel engines, and the launch of smaller models like the Dexta. It also delves into the innovative 1000 series, which incorporated significant technological advancements that would shape the future of farming. Through this detailed account, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the impact of Ford tractors on agriculture and transportation in the UK and beyond.
