Big and Blue. New Holland Company breaks their industry into two sections: Agriculture and Construction. For this article, New Holland Agriculture will be the center focus. The company began in 1903 in New Holland, Pennsylvania with the direction of Abe Zimmerman. He began producing agriculture machines as well as a feed mill to support his community. At the same time, Henry Ford, the mass producer of automobiles, was also beginning his automobile business and realized the large opportunity to mass produce tractors. Abe Zimmerman and Henry Ford became instant business partners.
In 1907, Ford designed the first gasoline powered tractor and marketed it as an Automobile Plow. During the early 1900s there was a race to produce tractors and soon many brand names began to come across the market. Fiat, more commonly known now for automobiles, put their foot in the door and mass produced tractors along with the New Holland and Ford.
