County – other models: collective page of British four-wheel-drive tractor conversions outside the named ranges, from the Super-Four and Super-Six to the crawler and Sea Horse versions, 38 to 132 kW, Ford engines
This page gathers the County tractors the register could not assign to a named range, from the classic four-wheel-drive conversions Super-Four and Super-Six to crawler tractors and the amphibious Sea Horse version. County Commercial Cars, later County Tractors, was based in Fleet in the English county of Hampshire and converted standard Ford tractors into rugged four-wheel-drive machines by fitting its own front axles and transfer cases. Super-Four denotes the four-wheel-drive version, Super-Six the models fitted with the six-cylinder Ford 401 engine; the Full-Track and CD50 crawler versions replaced the rear axle with tracked undercarriages for moor and marsh work.

The register lists here 33 versions with 38 to 132 kW from four- to six-cylinder engines, among the models with recorded dimensions from 3,610 to 6,578 cm³ and 3,800 to 8,030 kg unladen weight, with lift capacities of 4,200 to 6,670 kg; the engines come almost entirely from Ford, occasionally from Perkins, at rated speeds of 2,000 to 2,250 rpm.
County conversions were a sought-after solution in Britain for heavy soils and moorland before factory four-wheel-drive tractors became widely available; the Sea Horse variant was additionally built for river crossings and coastal work.
When buying used, the condition of the added front axle and transfer case, rust on the welded-on frame reinforcements, and on the crawlers the condition of the track chains all matter. Ford engine parts are readily available, while County-specific drivetrain parts are only found through specialists and donor vehicles.
