New Holland and LS are what come to mind for me. Some of the New Hollands are actually made by LS.

Did Ford quit making tractors?

Tractordata.com ", Ford-New Holland was sold to FIAT. The deal required that FIAT stop using the Ford name on tractors in 2000"

Fiat bought Ford New Holland in 1991, but the name change was 10 years later....so it's coming up on 25 years Ford has been out of the tractor business.

A friend of mine was retiring from Ford, and moving to Montana not long ago. He said "I'm going to have to see about a corporate discount on a New Holland tractor." I replied, why would Fiat give you a discount....he had no idea, and was pretty shocked. I'm not sure what brand he decided on :)

Valtra. Or other colors as stated in the below paragraph from Wiki:

Valtra has had a tradition of allowing the customer to tailor the tractor to specific needs and desires, in recent years called 'a la carte'. Several options have been available pertaining to for example the tractors color, transmission type and speed, hydraulics, PTO and suspension. In 2013 the Unlimited Studio was introduced to serve the customer further in this regard, allowing the addition to the tractor of "anything within reason" as a final step in the assembly process.

Here's a neat video of a Valtra powering some sort of crusher to tame the land. Even has some music I find very appealing:

LS is a good tractor. Used to be LG, They made many of the tractors for Farmpro, Montana, NH before striking out on their own. I don't think there is a purebred tractor company left! They farm out their production all over the world. JD is the same. International in part was bought up by Mahindra out of India. Same with everything: motorcycles, computers, etc..

LS still makes tractors for New Holland and Case....or CNH more accurately.

Mine served me really well until I needed to go bigger.

I was under the impression that Kioti did all there own manufacturing? Is this wrong?
