The Classic Guide to Ford Tractors - Volume Three

New Horizons

'New Horizons’ picks up the story with the 10 Series, updated in 1985 to the Force II Series, then the Generation III models, but the major changes appear in 1991 and 1999 with company takeovers dictating the way forward and today it’s the blue tractors of Case New Holland that carry on the line.
With the dawn of the eighties came the birth of a brand new range of tractors for a Ford company at the height of their popularity, the unmistakeable 10 Series. Their comprehensive line-up kept the Ford brand at the forefront of both tractor design and technology. In 1985 Ford’s successful and dependable range was updated into the new Force II Series pioneering the stylish Super Q cab, firmly establishing it as a force to be reckoned with in the agricultural world.

The success of these beasts of the field gave rise to the commanding presence of the Generation III models in 1989, leading the way in the emergence of electronics. As the eighties gave way to the nineties wholesale changes were on the horizon, when in 1991 Ford Tractor Operations were taken over by an ever-expanding Fiat company.

New Horizons charts this amazing story from the birth of the 10 Series right through to the last years of the Ford brand name and its amalgamation into the New Holland era. We bring the majestic Ford tractor story right up to date through fantastic footage of Ford and New Holland machines out in the fields during this illustrious and exciting time as the famous blue tractors embraced a completely New Horizon!
