David Brown
The story of David Brown began in 1860 in Huddersfield, England, with a skilled patternmaker establishing his own enterprise. Initially, the company focused on the meticulous crafting of gears. A collaborative venture with Harry Ferguson in 1936 led to the production of 1350 Ferguson-Brown tractors. This alliance proved short-lived, as Ferguson subsequently relocated to the United States and forged a new partnership with Ford. The inaugural David Brown tractor, designated the VAK1, debuted in 1939, attracting initial orders for 3000 units. Unfortunately, the outbreak of World War II curtailed production, limiting the total built to just 1000. Following the war's conclusion, tractor manufacturing was fully revitalized. In 1972, David Brown Tractors transitioned into a subsidiary of Tenneco, functioning as a division within JI Case. By 1983, the David Brown name was retired from tractor production, replaced by the Case branding. The Meltham facility, the long-standing birthplace of all David Brown tractors, ceased operations in 1988.

Denning
In the dawn of the twentieth century, Denning crafted tractors within the heartland city of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Beginning as the Estherville Fence Factory in 1893, established by J.M. Denning, the enterprise relocated to Cedar Rapids in 1899. By 1912, the company transitioned away from fence production, divesting its machinery and patents to become the Denning Motor Implement Company. Ultimately, in 1918, the General Ordnance Company acquired Denning, ushering in a new era and a renaming to National Tractor.

Deutz
The legacy of Deutz extends back to the pioneering work of Nikolaus Otto, Gottlieb Daimler, and the very dawn of internal combustion engine technology. The company’s journey into agricultural machinery commenced in 1907. Following the Second World War, Deutz tractors gained considerable prominence throughout western Europe, favored by agriculturalists for their robust, uncomplicated, and air-cooled diesel powerplants. A significant turning point arrived in 1969 with the fusion of Deutz and Fahr, a renowned manufacturer of farm equipment. Later, in 1995, SAME acquired the company, marking a new chapter in its evolution.

Deutz-Allis
By 1984, Allis-Chalmers faced considerable hardship, leading to its acquisition by Deutz. Subsequently, Deutz revitalized the Allis tractor line, marketing them as Deutz-Allis, while also introducing the Deutz-Fahr tractor series distributed under the same banner. This transition included a color shift from the iconic Allis orange, a change that frustrated many dedicated Allis-Chalmers farmers. In 1991, ownership passed to AGCO, who rebranded the company as AGCO Allis and thoughtfully reinstated the familiar orange livery. However, AGCO ultimately discontinued the AGCO Allis name in 2001.

Dutra
Originating in Hungary, Dutra tractors were produced from the late 1950s through the mid-1970s. The story of Dutra began with the nationalization of the Budapest-based HSCS (Hofherr-Schrantz-Clayton-Shuttleworth) factory under the communist regime. While the Soviet Bloc formed the core of its clientele, select Dutra tractor models also found their way to markets in western countries. The Dutra marque ceased to exist in 1975, though its production facilities ultimately transformed into what is now known as RABA.

Eagle Manufacturing
Rooted in Appleton, Wisconsin, Eagle Manufacturing forged a legacy of tractor production spanning the first decades of the 20th century, concluding in 1938. Initially, Eagle crafted substantial, two-cylinder gasoline tractors, powered by engines of their own design, up until 1930. However, escalating competitive forces prompted a shift towards smaller tractors reliant on externally sourced engines. Despite this adaptation, the company ultimately found itself unable to withstand the prevailing market challenges. Consequently, tractor manufacturing ceased in 1938, leading to Eagle’s acquisition by the Four Wheel Drive Auto Company (FWD), which today operates as Seagrave Apparatus – a distinguished builder of fire-fighting vehicles.

EarthForce
Emerging from Czechoslovakia towards the close of the twentieth century, EarthForce established itself as a producer of backhoe loaders. Initially conceived as a division of SuperStav, the company commenced operations in Dobris, specializing in the creation of both lightweight and medium-duty backhoes. In 2001, EarthForce transitioned ownership to Ingersoll-Rand, who promptly integrated the backhoe line under their established Bobcat and IR banners. Manufacturing of these machines ceased in 2007 following Ingersoll-Rand’s divestment of Bobcat to Doosan. Notably, the production facility in Dobris remains operational under the Bobcat name today.

Earthmaster
The story of Earthmaster tractors began in Burbank, California. While precise records of the company’s origins are elusive, evidence suggests they were fully engaged in manufacturing by 1948. Their production run extended into the mid-1950s, after which the Earthmaster business was transferred to new ownership. By 1958, Latham Feed, based in North Carolina, had acquired the remaining stock of Earthmaster tractors. Latham may have put together a small number of additional tractors using leftover components, but large-scale production never recommenced.
