CASE IH CELEBRATES 100 YEARS OF FARMALL,
THE ONE FOR ALL TRACTOR!
The Farmall Tractor was introduced in 1923, and now celebrates its 100th anniversary!
Today, Case IH kicks off global celebrations honouring the 100-year anniversary of the Farmall tractor. The iconic Farmall model was initially introduced in 1923 as the all-purpose tractor, designed to revolutionize the agriculture industry.
This celebration will take place during a year-long, multi-faceted campaign anchored in the concept of Farmall being “The One For All”. Through social media, video stories and a dedicated microsite, everyone will get the opportunity to learn more about the history and continuous evolution of Farmall.
In 1923, we set out to design a tractor that could replace horses, and today, our Farmall still serves as the workhorse on farms across the globe,” said Scott Harris Case IH global brand president. “Generation after generation, Farmall has been a symbol of modern farming, and we’re excited to bring these stories to life over the course of 2023"
