April Equipment Highlight

It started in 1869 with Jerome Increase Case and Company, steam powered equipment that still incorporated horse power of the original variety.

1892 brought in the first gasoline powered tractor.


The early 1900's brought about the 30-60 gas powered tractor.


Row crop tractors started and the famous Harvester Red #50 is adopted.



Farmall Letter Series (A and B, H and M ) started in 1939.

Farmall switched from Letter Series to Number Series in 1954

As the mid 1900 approached heavy duty 4WD drive tractors were being developed by third parties that would eventually become part of the family.

Technology continues to advance as do the tractors.
