THE FACT THAT WE HAVE MY DAD'S M-TA IS REALLY SPECIAL. WE SURE WISH HE WAS HERE WITH US, BUT WE FEEL HIM EVERY DAY.

In the 1950s, Holly's grandfather and great-grandfather had more to do on the farm than ever. Those extra acres meant they needed an all-purpose machine to help them out. They bought their first Farmall, a Super M-TA. They made a wise choice.

And then in the '80s, when her father needed even more power, they bought another M-TA. It made sense. One became the main workhorse. The other, well, the other got a full refurbish and became the other workhorse.

Eventually, the original M-TA became their "parade tractor." Today, it leads the memorial parade for Holly's father every year. And when Holly and Andy got married, it was the centerpiece for pictures. On the hood of the tractor was a memorial for Holly's father — on the same Farmall he refurbished all those years ago.

His legacy lives on through their family's Farmall. And that love her family has for their M-TA only grows deeper year after year.

100 YEARS OF MILESTONES

EVERY MODEL IS ANOTHER MILESTONE FOR MODERN FARMING

In 1923, Bert R. Benjamin had a vision. A tractor that wasn't made for one single purpose, but all of them. He rolled up his sleeves and then he and his team at International Harvester built the first Farmall. This prototype was a groundbreaking milestone for farmers. And over its 100 years, the Farmall has had plenty more.

    1923:

    The All-Purpose Prototype

    Our first milestone that revolutionized farming, for all. It was a game-changer. A tractor that could do it all. International Harvester filed the patent applications for the first Farmall in 1923 and then proceeded to build 22 — all by hand — for testing by farmers.

    1937:

    WE WENT ALL RED

    Farmall tractors went all red, replacing the previous gray with red wheel color scheme. The stated reason was that red was a safety factor — with so many Farmall tractors moving on public roads. But we can't deny that created an iconic look for the whole Case IH brand.

    The Farmall Farming System

    Modern farming went through many milestones, so we created the "Farmall System of Farming." The system included an extensive list of quick-attach machines that fit the Farmall H and M. This suite of attachments was designed with one purpose — to help operators get more done, fast.

    It Was A Numbers Game

    The Farmall 300 and 400 models were introduced with the industry-first two-step power shift (called torque amplifier or TA) and the industry's first power take off. They were milestones that made the popularity of our number series keep growing and growing.

    FARMALL GOES GLOBAL

    This milestone took us worldwide with the launch of the International Farmall 66 series, part of the first "World Wide Tractors" program. Tractors and components were manufactured in eight countries — United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, India, Australia and Mexico — for sales in 125 countries.

    Nearly 30 years after the 5 millionth tractor rolled off the assembly line at the Farmall Works plant in Rock Island, Illinois, and 80 years since the first Farmall was introduced — the icon was once again reimagined as a more compact tractor.

    Today:

    THE LEGACY LIVES ON

    With over 30 models to choose from, every new Farmall tractor that rolls off the production line is another milestone in versatility, power and productivity. These tractors are a testament to the commitment and determination of the men and women that make Farmall a symbol of American ingenuity like no other. Bert would be proud.

IT DIDN'T MATTER WHAT GRANDPA'S 1086 COST, WE WANTED IT TO STAY IN THE FAMILY.

Raelyn and Sam were both raised red and first met at a tractor pull event they both helped coordinate. Needless to say: They're our kind of people. After some time, they realized they wanted to give their friendship a try as a relationship. And less than a year later, Raelyn's nephew was pedaling Sam's childhood Farmall M pedal tractor down the aisle and Grandpa Luke's Farmall 1086 became the backdrop for many wedding photos.

Raelyn remembers the day Sam became the official owner of that Farmall. Sam always loved that piece of machinery, from his grandparents' farm, the most. It was iconic to his childhood and one of the first tractors he learned to drive. When his Grandpa Luke had their farm auction, he knew he wanted that 1086. He felt the need to keep it in the family.

After the auction was over, Sam told Raelyn what a great feeling it was to hear the auctioneer yell, "Sold. It"s staying in the family.” He had a huge smile on his face, and his Grandpa Luke did too. They're hoping it'll continue to stay in the family for a few more generations.

100 YEARS OF DESIGN

DESIGNED TO DO IT ALL

<span class="font--slim sm font--regular">100 YEARS OF&nbsp;</span><span class="font--condensed font--bold sm">DESIGN</span>

The spirit of Farmall design is born of two, simple words: "What if?" What if we could design a tractor that could do it all? What if it was the most versatile tractor ever? What if the operator always had an optimal view of the crops?

Since inception, Farmall has been synonymous with world-changing, iconic design. From Bert R. Benjamin's original vision to today and into the future, Farmall will always be designed to meet the needs of our farmers. And it's why we'll never stop asking, "What if?"

    1924:

    DESIGN WITH PURPOSE

    The first-of-a-kind, all-purpose Farmall could pull tillage, planting and harvesting equipment. This design allowed farmers to attach various implements in front and back while the narrow front wheels fit between row crops and the high rear wheels could clear tall rows like corn and cotton. The Farmall narrow frame also improved visibility around crops, and the lighter design was complemented with a high power-to-weight ratio to increase productivity.

    LETTER SERIES FORM & FUNCTION

    The iconic stylings of the second-generation Farmall letter series reflected the efforts of internationally known industrial designer Raymond Loewy. Loewy was hired to give the new Farmall tractors a distinctive, modern appearance, including the three silver stripes and three-dimensional nameplate design.

    CUB: THE SMALLEST FARMALL YET

    The smallest of the Farmall tractors, the Cub was designed specifically for small-acreage farming in the years following World War II. There were two major variations: the Standard Cub and the Cub Lo-Boy. They were recognized by their distinctive No. 50 Motor Red or Federal Yellow color schemes. In the late 1950s, sales of the Cub shifted from agricultural to industrial purposes, and the standard color for the Cub Lo-Boy and Cub changed to yellow with red as an option.

    THE ICONIC O SERIES

    The Raymond Lowey designed Farmall O series Orchard tractors, included the O-4 and O-6. They were Farmall tractors like no other. The O series has been described as "Buck Rogers at 4 miles per hour," although in transport gear it could reach 14. From the full, sheet metal fenders to the lowered seat, controls and steering, the O's were engineered to work in harsh environments and were as utilitarian as they were beautiful. During a 12-year production run, only 1,962 were made.

    GETTING HITCHED

    The Super series Farmall tractors proved that good design is more than good looks. The Farmall Super C featured the ingenious 2-point fast-hitch, making it super easy (pun intended) to attach rear-mounted implements. Or as an old ad for Farmall once described it, Farmall brings "back-click-and-go-convenience to every farm, large or small!"

    GENERATION 6

    The sixth-generation Farmall 706 and 806, introduced in 1962, were the first new Farmall designs in nearly 30 years and featured straighter, more angular lines. The Farmall 806 was marketed as the world's most powerful and toughest all-purpose tractor boasting the new D361 engine.

IT'S FOUR GENERATIONS. IT'S NOT JUST A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT, BUT HOW IT TIES BACK TO A MEMORY.

  • Joe

    Farmall Super M & More

Joe grew up on a diversified hog, cow, corn and bean farm in northern Indiana. Today, Joe still lives and helps around the farm part time with his family while working full time as the Tractor Marketing Lead for Case IH North America. As you can imagine, Farmall is both a personal and professional passion of his.

He has a lot of memories growing up on that farm, and many of them were while he was sitting on top of Case IH equipment. His family had a variety of Farmall tractors to choose from to get work done. That included a 1953 and '54 Super M, a '54 Super M-TA, an 856, a 1456 and a 1466. There's maybe an extra M in there somewhere — it's hard to keep track over so many decades, but most of those tractors are still on the farm.

Joe's fondest memories come from learning how to drive on his grandfather's 1953 Super M. His first time driving it by himself was while he was clearing a fencerow. His dad and grandfather stood there and watched with pride. Joe has a vivid memory of that day and could take you back to the same spot on his farm. He also knows he'll watch his 13-year-old son drive on his own too, most likely on top of that same Super M. That's four generations on one tractor — a testament to the dedication of Joe's family to farming and the longevity of their Farmall.

100 YEARS OF INNOVATION

FARMING REVOLUTIONIZED
FOR ALL

<span class="font--slim sm font--regular">100 YEARS OF&nbsp;</span><span class="font--condensed font--bold sm">INNOVATION</span>
It's been called "the red tractor that revolutionized farming" for good reason. From Bert R. Benjamin's ingenious vision for the tractor that could do it all to over 130 patents in 100 years, innovation has always been the backbone of Farmall. Since Day 1, the story of Farmall has been one of countless firsts, spanning multiple models and decades. Farmall has never stopped innovating to meet the needs of farmers, generation after generation.

    It's All About the Numbers

    The number series Farmall was introduced with the industry-first two-step power shift (called torque amplifier or TA). The Farmall 806 was designed to be the world's toughest and most powerful all-purpose tractor boasting the new D361 engine, while the Farmall 1206 was the first 2WD row crop tractor to exceed 100 horsepower.

    Hydrostatic Transmission Repowers Farmall

    A first in farming, continuously variable hydrostatic transmission (how's that for a mouthful) gave more flexibility by using hydraulic fluid to transmit energy. It provided infinitely variable transmission for precise matching of speed and power for any job.

    Noticing an increased need of small-acreage specialty tractors, Case IH reintroduced the Farmall tractor lineup. By 2008, three new classes of compact tractors were designed for no-nonsense, no-frills, all-purpose applications — innovative design that knew how to stay out of the way.
