Challenger
The Challenger name originated with Caterpillar Inc. in 1987, initially designating a series of tractors distinguished by their rubber tracks. Nearly fifteen years later, in 2002, Caterpillar transferred ownership of this tractor line to AGCO, who subsequently broadened its scope to encompass a more diverse selection of agricultural machines. By 2020, AGCO commenced a gradual discontinuation of the Challenger brand identity.

Chamberlain
The Chamberlain story began in the historic western Australian town of Welshpool, within the walls of a former armament facility. A pivotal moment arrived in 1970 when Deere & Company initiated a takeover of Chamberlain, integrating Deere engines into select models. By 1975, the newly launched "Sedan 80" line clearly bore the mark of John Deere's influence, and the subsequent 90 series, debuting in 1985, proudly displayed John Deere green livery – though still bearing the Chamberlain emblem. In 1986, Deere concluded tractor manufacturing at the Welshpool site, shifting its focus to importing Deere tractors sourced from other production facilities across the country.

Claas
The Claas story began in Germany with August Claas, a pioneer who initially crafted mechanical binders. However, the company truly flourished with the development and manufacture of combine harvesters – a field where they achieved considerable renown. In 2004, Claas expanded its reach by acquiring Renault Agriculture, subsequently phasing out the Renault brand on tractors and fully adopting Claas as the sole designation.

Cletrac
Clarence and Rollin White brought the Cleveland Tractor Company into existence. Their initial endeavors centered on the production of compact and moderately sized crawler tractors for agricultural use. A noteworthy turn of events occurred on October 31, 1944, when Cletrac became part of the Oliver corporation. Curiously, the narrative continued as Oliver itself would eventually be absorbed by White, a company stemming from the very White lineage that originally established Cletrac.

Cockshutt
The year 1946 marked the debut of Cockshutt’s pioneering series of contemporary farm tractors, proudly built within Canada's borders. However, the roots of Cockshutt’s commitment to agriculture extend much further back, to the 1870s and the entrepreneurial endeavors of the Cockshutt family. Officially established in 1910, the Cockshutt Plow Company laid the groundwork for what would become a significant force in the agricultural sector. In 1961, White Motor Company—eventually known as White Tractor—integrated Cockshutt’s tractor production into its own operations.

Coleman
Originating from Kansas City in the dawn of the 20th century, the Coleman tractor emerged as a pioneering agricultural machine. Conceived by the inventive Arthur Coleman, the initial models were brought to life by the skilled artisans at the Winslow Manufacturing Company in 1917. As the tractor gained recognition, Winslow evolved into the Coleman Tractor Corporation, reflecting its dedicated focus. Ultimately, the Welborn Corporation assumed control of Coleman tractor production, bringing its run to a close in 1922.

Corbitt
Founded in 1913 by Richard Corbitt, the Corbitt Company evolved from its origins in crafting horse-drawn carriages and early automobiles. The firm achieved prominence by manufacturing robust trucks, a significant number of which served with the United States Army. Around 1949, Corbitt broadened its production to include a line of agricultural tractors, many of which were shipped for use in South American markets. Sadly, the enterprise faltered shortly following Mr. Corbitt’s departure from the business in 1952.

County
The story of County Commercial Cars began in 1929, with brothers Ernest and Percy Tapp pioneering the transformation of Ford trucks from 2x4 to a more robust 4x6 drive system. By 1948, the company had extended its expertise to tractor conversions, notably adapting a Fordson Major to a track-drive configuration. County truly distinguished itself throughout the 1960s and 70s, becoming renowned for its innovative four-wheel drive conversions applied to Ford tractors. However, the 1980s brought challenging times, culminating in acquisitions first in 1983, and again in 1987 as manufacturing output experienced a significant decline.

Cub Cadet
Cub Cadet's origins lie in the garden tractor division of International Harvester, a lineage transferred to MTD in 1981. Expanding its reach, the brand began importing Mitsubishi’s compact tractors to North America in 1993. A significant partnership was forged with Yanmar in 2006, leading to the marketing of Yanmar compact tractors under the Cub Cadet Yanmar banner. This collaboration evolved in 2011, culminating in Yanmar America taking complete ownership of the tractor line and the subsequent removal of the Cub Cadet designation from these compact models.

Custom
Following the conclusion of World War II, Custom Manufacturing embarked on the creation of a variety of tractor models, ingeniously employing Chrysler engines and drivetrain components. These tractors were marketed under several distinct banners, including Montgomery Ward, Lehr Big Boy, and, north of the border in Canada, as the Rockol and Regal lines. Originating in Shelbyville, Indiana in 1944, the enterprise underwent a change in ownership in 1952, prompting a relocation of manufacturing operations to Hustisford, Wisconsin. Production at the Wisconsin facility persisted until 1954, at which point the company’s holdings were transferred to a business based in Mexico.
