Note: This is a sub-section of Ford.

In 1986, Ford Agriculture was looking for a way out of the tractor business. The following year they bought Versatile, who made super-tractors. All this buying was to rival manufacturers like Deere & Company and Case IH but because of the 1980s American tractor slump, Ford were forced to think again.

In 1988 they sold 80% of ithe company to Fiat and in 1991 the remaining 20%.

Fiat re-branded their European tractors under the newly acquired name of Ford-New Holland.

In 2001, the Ford name was dropped.
