Ford brand earthmoving machinery and tractors

I happen to see Ford tractors and agricultural machinery on the used machinery market. I understand they are no longer produced. I was wondering which are the most used and versatile iconic models, the most popular ones. I've even seen a few tractors in some rural towns. I've seen that they've started producing trucks again in Europe, but I don't understand their marketing strategy. Backhoe loaders are very popular. I've seen some wheeled and tracked excavators, bulldozers and crawler tractors, I don't think so. Also, a few loaders, thanks.


The largest articulated wheel loader ever manufactured by Ford was the Ford A-66, featuring a 160-horsepower 6-cylinder diesel engine, an operating weight of over 25,000 pounds, and a 50-gallon hydraulic capacity, sitting at the top of Ford’s historical industrial loader lineup (A-62, A-64, and A-66) during the 1970
