Farmall name reborn on CaseIH tractors
CaseIH -Case IH is re-introducing the Farmall name in conjunction with a new line of compact tractors to be launched later this year. Farmall defined the word "tractor" for generations of farmers.
"Were bringing back the Farmall name because these new tractors carry the spirit of their famous predecessors," says Jim Irwin, vice president of the Case IH North American agricultural business. "Our new line of DX Series compact tractors epitomized the versatility and contemporary design that made the original Farmall tractors famous."
The Farmall tractor, first introduced in 1923, revolutionized agriculture with a design that could navigate between rows, while allowing clearance over crops like wheat, corn and sorghum. Case IH signature red paint was first introduced in 1937 on Farmall tractors to promote safety because so many were on the roads. In fact, more than five million Farmall tractors were built, and many are still in operation today. Equipped with numerous attachments for tilling, cultivating, planting, harvesting and more, the original Farmall was central to most farming operations of the day.
"The new Case IH DX Series Farmall tractors will take up the workhorse tradition of their illustrious forebears, with designs that are tailor-made to meet the needs of homeowners, contractors, landscapers, farmers and other customers who demand flexibility, utility, simplicity and comfort," says Irwin. "Add to that service and support from the world-class Case IH dealer network, and we will be offering the best compact tractor package in the industry."
Like the Farmalls that came before them, the new Case IH DX Series Farmall is destined to provide generations of tough service, and a heritage of power, comfort, versatility and value.
