That "New Holland" tractor you refer to actually originated right here in 
Canada when it was first built by Versatile in Manitoba back about 1975. 
This was an innovative design at the time and pretty slick for a lot of 
jobs. There was even a swather header attachment that could be attached to 
cut crops. Our village council has one of the newer Ford New Holland bi 
directional tractors to look after all the maintenance jobs iin town year 
round including a Schulte snowblower that is probably blowing snow even as I 
type this.
