America's favorite tractor is celebrating 85 years of providing rugged performance and value to farmers. "The first Farmall tractors were introduced in 1923, and they quickly put a lot of horses out of work," says Shawn Boone, manager of livestock marketing for Case IH.
Although they were called Farmall Regular tractors, they had a revolutionary narrow design and higher ground clearance, which allowed farmers to put it to work in taller row-crops without pushing down plants.
"In addition, the original Farmall Regular design allowed implements to be mounted fore and aft, further expanding its versatility," Boone adds. "These innovative features, combined with a broad dealer network, enabled the Farmall Regular to quickly become the tractor of choice for progressive farmers throughout North America."
A larger lineup of Farmall tractors
In honor of Farmall's 85-year anniversary, Case IH is expanding the Farmall tractor lineup with new utility and mid-range models, with PTO horsepower ratings up to 90 hp. "Customers can get a new Case IH Farmall tractor that packs as much horsepower as those original Farmalls," Boone says.
The full Case IH Farmall lineup includes 20 models, with configurations ranging from compact straddle mount models to platform models with cab or ROPS options. "Whether you're in the market for a simple, reliable compact tractor or a high-end, high-horsepower model with all the bells and whistles, there's a Farmall for you," Boone says. "It's one of the most famous names in the history of tractors and Case IH is committed to upholding Farmall's reputation for power, versatility and ingenious engineering."
2008 Farmall compact tractor upgrades
Other improvements in 2008 include an upgraded Case IH Farmall compact line-up. All Farmall compact tractors are now equipped with a fuel efficient, clean burning Tier 3-compliant engine and MFD. Customers can choose from hydrostatic, synchro or power-shuttle transmissions, depending on the model.
Case IH also simplified the Farmall naming system. "We dropped the D, DX and JX letter naming conventions, and kept the number, which corresponds to horsepower," says Boone.
In 2008, five Class 2 and Class 3 Farmall compact models are available with PTO horsepower ranging from 25 to 43:
