Up until the end of the 20th century, Ford manufactured an extensive line of tractor models. The company began production on the 6600 model in 1975 and ceased producing it in 1981. The tractor directly preceding the 6600 was the 5000, and the model manufactured next was the 6610. The Ford 6600 was available in utility and row-crop models until 1977, when the row-crop model was renamed the Ford 6700.
