Why would they sue? Another manufacturer making false claims for decades could seriously affect Ford sales. The Banner lane MF factory in the UK was the largest tractor factory in the world until it was closed several years ago. I think the number of tractors just from that factory was something like 3.2 million units. World wide MF has produced the largest number of tractors.
