It appears that Massey Ferguson built the first ones in 1947. It was the Massey Ferguson TO-20 Toy Pedal tractor. From here, some of the tractor builders would make pedal tractors after the big motorized models. John Deere made their first in 1968.
Originally named the Newcastle Foundry and Machine Manufactory, the company that would become Massey Ferguson came to be in 1879. Eventually the company went through several name changes and merged with the Ferguson Company in 1958. The first line of truly merged Massey Ferguson tractors started production in 1958.
