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.
