New for 2010. Initial delivery: June 2010
Farmall was a model name and later a brand name for tractors manufactured by International Harvester. The original Farmall was the first general-purpose tractor with narrowly spaced front wheels. The 'tricycle' front wheel design combined with good ground clearance allowed for more nimble maneuvering and accurate field cultivation than many other tractors of the day, yet the Farmall could perform all the other duties a farmer would have previously achieved using a team of horses. This horse-replacing appeal contributed to the mechanization of agriculture. The slogan used was
Better than a team of horses and an extra man.
Development began around the start of the 1920s, and the new tractor design was introduced in prototype form in 1923. In 1932 IH introduced an updated Farmall with a more powerful engine, which received the designation F-20. The F-20 replaced the original Farmall, which became known by the retronym Regular (after the introduction of the F-20). IH also added other new tractors to the brand, which became known as the F-series. These included the F-30 (1931), the F-12 (1932), and the F-14 (1938). All Farmall tractors were painted a deep blue grey (not battle ship grey) until middle 1936 around July through September, when a decision was made to change to a new color,
'Farmall Red'.
The F-series tractors lasted until 1938. In 1939, the famous Letter series of Farmall tractors was introduced (A, B, BN, C, H, M, and MD). The smallest of the line, the 'A', utilized the company's Culti-Vision offset engine/front end design, along with a wide front wheel track and dropped axles. On the larger models, the 'tricycle' type, narrow-spaced front wheel design was retained, as it provided quick steering and a considerable improvement in maneuverability over competing tractors.
From prior experience, IH took care to produce a model for almost every farm and every need. The Farmall A, B, and BN offered compact size, operator visibility, and maneuverability; the C and M series provided extra plowing capability and power, while the mid-sized Model H proved most popular with customers. Overall, the Farmall 'letter' series, built of the heaviest-duty materials available, became not only a defining product line in IH history, but an iconic symbol of the prototypical American small-farm tractor.
The Letter series tractors were updated to the Super series in 1952 (with the exception of the A, which became a "Super" in 1947. Though the Super series received improvements, these tractors largely followed the design of their predecessors, and like them, were built to last.
