Farm Tractors
New Holland
The story of New Holland commenced in 1895 with the construction of a grain mill nestled in the heart of Pennsylvania. The company's ambitions quickly broadened to encompass agricultural machinery, achieving considerable recognition for its pioneering automatic hay balers. A significant chapter unfolded in 1985 when Ford acquired the company, leading to the emergence of tractors bearing the Ford-New Holland designation. A decade later, in 1990, Ford divested a controlling stake in its agricultural equipment division to FIAT, stipulating the eventual phasing out of the Ford name after ten years. Consequently, a dual branding strategy took hold, with tractors appearing under the New Holland name in established Ford territories and the FIAT name in their traditional strongholds. The year 1999 witnessed a landmark consolidation as CaseIH and FIAT/New Holland joined forces, creating CNH Global, which continues to manufacture tractors proudly bearing the New Holland emblem.

Nichols-Shepard
In the twilight of the 19th and dawn of the 20th centuries, Nichols-Shepard stood as a prominent creator of agricultural machinery. Its origins trace back to the humble blacksmith shop of John Nichols, established in Battle Creek, Michigan. The company’s core offerings centered around innovative threshing machines and powerful steam engines. A new chapter began in 1929 when Nichols-Shepard joined forces with Hart-Parr and Oliver Chilled Plow, giving rise to the Oliver Farm Equipment company. Even after this consolidation, the Battle Creek facility continued production of combines and corn pickers for another three decades, until 1962, when White acquired Oliver and ultimately ceased operations at the plant.

Nuffield
Originating in post-war Britain, the Nuffield tractor emerged from the workshops of Morris Motors as a solution to the pressing demand for updated agricultural equipment and goods for international trade. Manufacturing of the M3 and M4 models commenced in 1948, and the series persisted for two decades until 1969, at which point it became integrated into the Leyland organization.

Oliver
The Oliver Farm Equipment Corporation arose from a confluence of agricultural pioneers in 1929, uniting Oliver Chilled Plow, Hart-Parr, American Seeding Machine, and Nichols & Shepard. The debut of the Oliver tractor lineage occurred in 1930 with the introduction of the 18-28 model. Six decades later, in 1960, White Motor acquired Oliver, and by 1973, the celebrated Oliver identity was phased out as White streamlined its tractor offerings under a single banner.

Parrett
In 1913, the Parrett Tractor Company took root in Ottawa, Illinois, the vision of brothers Henry and Dent Parrett. Just two years later, in 1915, they relocated their burgeoning enterprise to the bustling city of Chicago, where their model H 12-25 tractor quickly gained recognition. Massey-Harris, recognizing the ingenuity of the Parrett design, secured a license to manufacture a variation of these tractors under their own banner – designated as Models 1, 2, and 3 – within Canada. However, the arrival of the Fordson, and the resulting dramatic decline in tractor costs, proved insurmountable for the Parrett company. Following the termination of their agreement with Massey, production ceased entirely in 1923. Although Dent Parrett departed from the company in 1920, his passion for tractor design persisted, leading him to contribute his talents to other manufacturers. The Parrett legacy experienced a revival in the mid-1930s when Dent conceived a new tractor, brought to life by the Ross Carrier company of Benton Harbor, Michigan.

Pioneer Tractor
From approximately 1920 to 1927, the Pioneer Tractor Company flourished in Winona, Minnesota, specializing in the construction of powerful, gas-fueled tractors. They achieved notable acclaim for producing robust machines essential for transforming vast prairies into farmland and facilitating road building projects. Pioneer distinguished itself as a visionary innovator, being among the first to incorporate fully enclosed cabs and engine housings into their designs, providing operators with enhanced comfort and protection. However, the onset of the Great Depression, combined with a market shift toward more compact tractor models, proved detrimental to Pioneer’s fortunes. Despite undergoing restructuring efforts in the early 1920s, the company was unable to regain its footing and ultimately ceased operations by 1927.

Porsche
The legacy of Ferdinand Porsche, the visionary engineer celebrated for his automotive achievements, extends back to the 1930s with his innovative tractor designs. This ‘people’s tractor,’ known as the volk-schlepper, mirrored many of the core design philosophies present in his renowned volks-wagen, or ‘people’s car.’ Despite these early concepts, large-scale manufacturing didn't commence prior to the outbreak of World War II, and subsequent post-war restrictions forbade Porsche from continuing tractor development. Production ultimately began through a licensing pact with Allgaier. In 1956, Mannesmann acquired the rights and sustained production for another seven years, until 1963. Eventually, the assets were transferred to Renault, effectively ending the Porsche association with agricultural machinery.
