Friday Feature: 100 Years of Farmall (CaseiH) Tractors

by | Apr 21, 2023 | Ag History, Ag in the News, General Agriculture

The first Farmall tractor was produced by International Harvester (IH) in 1923. Bert R. Benjamin, IH Engineer, had a vision for a tractor that could replace horses. He developed a revolutionary design that changed farming forever. In 1932, Farmall went all red with the introduction of the F series tractors.  In 1954, the Farmall 1206 was the first 100 horsepower tractor. By 1974, 5 million Farmalls had been produced.  Watch the short video to see the progression of an American icon in agriculture, or read more of the 100 year history of International Harvestors’ Farmall Tractors by using the following link: 100 YEARS OF FARMALL
