history
In 1888 the brothers Christian Friedrich and Martin Holder founded a machine shop in Urach , where the world's first automatic crop protection sprayer was developed and manufactured. 1902 the company moved to Metzingen and stood henceforth as a specialist for spraying in pest control, single-axis motor milling and -hacken and from 1930 for tractor out.
In 1953 a four-wheel tractor was presented under the type designation B10, and in 1954 an all-wheel-drive tractor constructed in articulated steering was presented under the type designation A10.

Four months later, in October 2008, three shareholders from Baden-Württemberg took over the company. The field sprayer division was sold to the Vogel & Noot company the following month , and the company renamed Max Holder GmbH at the end of 2008 . In 2018, Max Holder GmbH moved into its new company headquarters in Reutlingen, a few kilometers from the previous headquarters in Metzingen. At the end of September 2019, Alfred Kärcher SE & Co.

Current vehicle program

The vehicles, which are all equipped with four equally sized wheels and all-wheel drive, as well as Perkins , Kubota or Deutz engines, can each be fitted with various attachments or superstructures.
In the equipment carrier series V, C, M and S, the driver's cab is mounted above the front axle. In the L and F series, the driver's position (open with safety bar or with cab) is located above the rear axle, as is typical for a tractor.

The brand name in parlance
In some rural areas of Germany, where Holder single-axle machines were or are widespread in rural road traffic, both in arable farming and for short-distance transport, the brand name has become a generic name. There, single-axle tractors are colloquially referred to as Holder, regardless of the real manufacturer.
