About Ford Tractors

Ford Tractor history begins with Henry Ford, who started experimenting with gasoline engines around 1890. In 1907, Henry built his first experimental work tractor and eventually created the Fordson tractor. By 1920, the distribution of the Fordson was shifted to the Ford Motor Company, and over the years, Ford has produced many models of tractors.

The Early Tractors

The Ford model 9N tractor was introduced in mid-year 1939 as a joint venture between Henry Ford and Harry Ferguson. The model 2N was made between 1942 - 1947, and the model 8N was made between 1947 - 1952. The Ford Golden Jubilee NAA was made from late 1952 through 1954. The one hundred series tractors, model 600, 700, 800, and 900, were made from 1954 to 1957. The one hundred and one series tractors, model 501, 601, 701, 801, and 901, were made from 1957 to 1962. The one thousand series tractors, model 2000, 4000, and 6000, were made from 1962 to 1964.

These models came equipped with various engine options and were produced in a variety of styles to appeal to agriculture, including row crop, offset, utility, orchard, light industrial, low center of gravity (LCG), and heavy-duty industrial.
