NewHolland2 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Interesting link...... What was the idea of painting them terracotta? Was it to blend in with a farmer's fleet that already operated Fiats? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spud Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 i dunno about blend with Fiat but i dont know if new holland own a share of Fiat or even own fiat but look at my pic u will see the 80-90 fiat has a newholland badge on it cheers Reece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allis8550 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I think you'll find that Fiat bought 100% of New holland/ Ford and combined it with the Fiat agriculture concern to form New Holland Geotec, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of FIAT.

Tractorman810 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 i know of a terricota nh down this way, in cornwall, dairy farmers with loader on front, think its a tm to although not 100% on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats right part of the deal was Fait could still use the Ford name for the first 10 years, thats why over the years the Ford name got smaller and was replaced with New Holland. They kept the blue colour because it sold better than the terricota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TS135A DRIVER Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I have seen an odd L85 in blue instead of the usual orange on a roadside farm near Dingwall. I had to give it a second look on the return journey after I first saw it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNHIR Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Britains actually made a mistake like that, a 6635 gift set that had L85 decals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
