New Holland Ford – the register designation for tractors from the Ford New Holland era, four- and six-cylinder diesel engines, 48 to 119 kW, models from FORD 4835 to FORD 8560 DT-4X4
Under “New Holland Ford” the register lists tractors carrying the Ford type designation from the era when Ford sold its farm-equipment division to Fiat in 1991 and the brand was carried on first as Ford New Holland, later simply as New Holland. The models captured here range from the lighter FORD 4835 to the heavy four-wheel-drive tractors of the 8000 range, such as the FORD 8360 and FORD 8560, each with the DT-4X4 suffix denoting four-wheel drive.

The register lists here 6 versions with 48 to 119 kW from four- and six-cylinder diesel engines of 3,610 to 7,480 cm³ displacement. Unladen weights range from 3,640 to 6,260 kg, permissible gross weight from 5,000 to 9,500 kg, lengths from 4,070 to 4,775 mm and widths from 1,990 to 2,960 mm.
Ford's tractors from these transitional years covered the mid to upper power range in European arable farming and formed the technical bridge between the classic blue Ford tractors and today's New Holland ranges; many components and spare parts still turn up in the successor models today.
When buying these Ford models used, the condition of the injection pump and engine block, the transmission and four-wheel-drive transfer case, and corrosion on fenders and body panels rank among the key checkpoints; spare parts run through the New Holland dealer network.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
