C.O.D. Tractor Company
From approximately 1914 through 1919, the C.O.D. Tractor Company produced tractors within the state of Minnesota. Rooted in Crookston, Minnesota, the firm seems to have drawn heavily from the tractor innovations pioneered by Albert Espe. By the year 1915, the company’s administrative headquarters had shifted to Minneapolis, while the Saint Paul Foundry undertook the responsibility of actual tractor production.

CBT
Brazilian Tractor Company (CBT) represented a significant chapter in Brazil's agricultural machinery history, functioning as a tractor manufacturer from 1959 until its eventual closure in 1995. The company's initial endeavors involved importing and assembling Oliver tractors, but quickly evolved. Over time, CBT progressively increased local production and component design capabilities. By the 1970s, the company was successfully marketing tractors bearing its own name, retaining a clear connection to the original Oliver designs. Innovation continued well into the 1990s, with CBT tractors finding buyers across the American continents. Ultimately, production halted in 1995 as Brazilian market liberalization removed safeguards for national industries.

CO-OP
The CO-OP tractor line emerged from a farmers’ collective ambition: to lower expenses by collaboratively owning the means of machinery production. The initial designs were crafted by Dent Parrett, previously associated with Parrett Tractor, and were assembled in Michigan, incorporating numerous parts sourced from Chrysler. By 1938, manufacturing operations relocated to newly established plants in Indiana. Cletrac played a role as well, contributing certain models, and some production took place concurrently in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Following the conclusion of World War II, a partnership with Cockshutt resulted in the introduction of the "E" series CO-OP tractors, essentially Cockshutt models bearing a different name. Unfortunately, lackluster sales figures prompted the sale of the CO-OP plants to Cockshutt in 1952, effectively bringing the CO-OP brand to a close.

Cabelas
Cabela's, a leading American purveyor of gear for the outdoors, initiated a venture into tractor sales in 2013, offering models bearing the Cabela's name, manufactured in partnership with TYM. These tractors were integrated within the company’s Wildlife and Land Management division, alongside offerings like all-terrain vehicles, animal feed, and related accessories. However, Cabela's discontinued its tractor business in 2016, and subsequently became part of the Bass Pro Shop family of brands.

Cameco
Originally, Cameco Industries of Louisiana specialized in the production of robust tractors, engineered for the demanding tasks of sugar cane cultivation and broader construction applications. Subsequently, in 1998, Deere & Company integrated Cameco into its operations. By 2006, the distinct Cameco identity, including its signature yellow coloration, was completely phased out, giving way to equipment bearing the green livery of John Deere.

Captain
Captain stands as a prominent Indian creator of streamlined tractors and agricultural equipment. The company’s origins trace back to the Patel brothers, innovators who brought their initial tractor design to life towards the close of the 20th century. In 2012, Captain forged a manufacturing alliance with TAFE, a collaboration that broadened the scope of their available machinery.

Carraro
Rooted in Italian engineering since 1932, Carraro began its journey crafting implements for cultivating the land. The company's inaugural tractor emerged in 1958, marking the commencement of a period dedicated to the design and construction of both tractors and tracked vehicles. However, by the close of the 1970s, Carraro transitioned its focus, ceasing direct tractor production to specialize in the creation of advanced transmission systems utilized by other leading agricultural machinery builders.

Case
Throughout the 20th century, Case stood as a prominent force in American agricultural and industrial machinery. Pioneering the field, the company initially established itself as a builder of steam engines, commencing the production of steam tractors in 1869. The legacy of Case continued as it joined forces with International Harvester in 1983, ultimately becoming Case IH.

CaseIH
The origins of Case IH trace back to 1967 with the acquisition of J.I. Case by Tennaco Corporation. A significant shift occurred in 1985 when Tennaco assumed management of International Harvester's tractor division. This led to a consolidation of the two companies, with a deliberate emphasis on Case tractor designs over the larger International Harvester models. The narrative continued in 1999 as Case IH united with New Holland, resulting in the formation of CNH Global. Today, CNH remains dedicated to producing tractors bearing the esteemed Case IH name.

Caterpillar
As a worldwide leader in the production of industrial machinery, Caterpillar first distinguished itself as an innovator in track-type vehicles. Though initially employed in agricultural settings from their inception, Caterpillar’s trajectory evolved towards construction as rubber-tired tractors became prevalent in farming. In 1987, the company revitalized its presence in agriculture with the introduction of the Challenger series – rubber-tracked crawlers designed for modern farming. However, in 2002, the Challenger line was transferred to the ownership of AGCO.

Centaur
The company’s story began in 1921 in Greenwich, Ohio, originally established as the Central Tractor Company. Seven years later, in 1928, it evolved into the Centaur Tractor Company, a name inspired by the 'Centaur' designation already applied to their distinctive 6-10 sulky-style tractor. In 1934, Centaur innovators pursued a patent for their groundbreaking "Klear View" concept. This ingenious design dramatically minimized obstructions in the operator's field of vision, affording an unprecedented view of the terrain directly below the tractor. Capitalizing on this innovation, Centaur commenced production of the KV series tractors in 1935. However, by 1940, the company faced substantial financial challenges, ultimately leading to its acquisition by Le Roi, a long-time provider of engines powering the Centaur tractors.

Century
The Century name represented a line of subcompact tractors originally manufactured by Kukje Machinery Company in South Korea for the US market. Distribution was handled by American Jawa between the years 2000 and 2006. Around 2006, the Century brand was phased out as Kukje streamlined its North American offerings, unifying them under the Branson name. Subsequently, American Jawa transitioned to distributing TYM tractors, while Branson/Kukje took on the responsibility for providing warranty coverage and parts availability for existing Century tractors.
