Ford-based models from the independent County company were sold in several countries through the Ford organization. In most County products, all wheels were the same size, and each front wheel had a separate drive shaft. In addition, County built models equipped with high ground clearance as well as Four models with smaller front wheels before Ford had its own four-wheel-drive versions. Besides Fords, County also supplied four-wheel-drive technology to IH and Leyland factories.

The first County tractors from 1948 onwards were track tractors based on Fords. The first four-wheel-drive model was the County Four-Drive introduced in 1954, which was mainly designed for sugarcane plantations and did not succeed in Europe. Practical four-wheel-drive models were introduced in the early 1960s: the Super Four, based on the Super Major, and the Super Six, which used Ford’s 6-cylinder industrial engine. These were replaced in 1964 by the new Super 4 and 6 models as part of a new Ford series.

The model 654 Super 4, based on the Ford 5000, and its short-lived turbo version 854T were replaced in 1968 by the more powerful County 754 alongside the updated Ford 5000. The 954 Super 6 was also renamed 1004. It had 100 hp, and the rear axle was stronger than before. The County 1124 was a larger 6-cylinder model, followed in 1971 by the County 1164, which used the Ford 8000’s engine but was otherwise based on the 5000/7000 technology. The design was new, more angular, and featured a factory-installed cab designed by the Swedish company Hara. In 1971, a parallel model to the 754 was also introduced, the turbocharged 944 based on the Ford 7000.

Later 1164 models were based on the Ford 7600, and the 764 models on the Ford 5600 technology. Larger models included the 1254 (Ford 8000/8600) and 1454 (Ford 9000/9600), introduced in 1972.
