Synopsis

The Farmall tractor is one of the most significant and popular farm tractors ever. From the early 1920s through to 1960, IHC was the dominant maker of tractors. In fact, in the peak of the the postwar boom, IHC was selling nearly a million Farmall tractors annually. That historic mark is still treasured by enthusiasts, and is second only to John Deere. In this quality paperback of Farmall: Eight Decades of Innovation, the history of the Farmall is traced from the first Farmall, developed in the early 1920s, through to the new Farmall compact tractors being produced by CNH in 2004 and beyond. The book combines a broad cultural history of the make with photos of restored machines, color and black and white archival photography, and sidebars profiling farmers who worked with Farmalls from the early days and on. This is a softbound edition in a reduced size of Farmall: Eight Decades of Innovation ISBN 0760321361.
