Ford lawn tractors

While not directly manufacturing lawn and garden equipment, Ford extended its reach into the outdoor power equipment market by offering a selection of tractors through its established network of agricultural machinery dealerships. These Ford-branded lawn tractors were, in fact, sourced from prominent manufacturers such as Jacobsen, Gilson, and Toro. In 1988, a shift occurred when Ford divested its farm machinery division to Fiat, leading to the discontinuation of the Ford lawn tractor line and its subsequent replacement by the New Holland brand.
