Back around the mid 1980s I visited in Houston, TX and came across a Pasquali tractor dealer which I remember as being a sub company of a Ford dealer.
Tonight I came across some photos I took at the dealership and in one it shows Southern Tractor Corporation.

Much like the third world photos of carts loaded very high and being pulled by small engine units.
Should be a lot of used units of both around since there were so many of them.
