History

Prior to using the YTO brand, the tractors and engines were marketed under the brand Dongfanghong (DFH; Chinese: 东方红; pinyin: Dōng Fāng Hóng; literally: "The East is Red"). In the 1980s and 1990s, Fiat began to assist First Tractor Company with technology for engines and tractors.

In 2005, AGCO announced they were in discussions with First Tractor Company to establish a joint venture to manufacture tractors between 40-100 horsepower. Although the joint venture never materialized, YTO and AGCO still cooperated by manufacturing tractors based on a Valtra (owned by AGCO) design.[2][3]

The company has been keen on making a presence in international markets through establishing overseas factories and sales networks. In March 2013, the company scored a large export order when Ethiopia purchased $100 million worth of tractors.[1]
