History
Tractor Co history required. (Can you help and expand it) ?
Fiat started building tractors in 1919. But the parent company "Fabbrica Italiana de Automobili Torino "FIAT" was founded in 1899 to build cars but rapidly diversified. They started tractor development in 1910 but the First World war delayed the work. The first model called the 702 was launched in 1919 with a 30 hp 6.2 ltr. truck engine. The designas advanced as it used unit construction unlike most early machines with chassis. The tractor was a big machine and in Britain cost 5 x the Fordson price.[1]
This was replaced by the lighter 700 model in 1927 which also was built in a Crawler version the 700C
After the war smaller tractors were in demand and the Fiat LePiccola was introduced. followed by the modern Fiat 500 in the 1960s (Not the Car).
From the 1960 production grew rapidly with licence agreements to build machines in counties like Romania and Turkey.
Inthe 1970s a whole range of modern machines were introduced with the 100 series.
And in 1990 introduced the 90 series and became the biggest manufacturer in Europe after building 1/2 million tractors.
The company later sold some of the American Allis-Chalmers models as Fiats in the UK and then took over the Allis corporations UK business to form Fiat-Allis which was mainly Construction machinery.
Then in the 1991 Fiat merged the existing tractor division with the Ford New Holland Agricultural business that they bought off Ford when they decided to divest non-core businesses as the market had slumped in the late 1980s and a large investment was needed for new lines and the proposed Teir II engine emissions regs. After adding the Case IH business they formed CNH Global to compete with the giant AGCO group (which was partially the Allis Gleaner Corporation from the USA).
They Badge enginered the models fom the mid 1990s and launched the 66 series.
