Case IH has kicked off global celebrations in honor of the 100th anniversary of the Farmall tractor. The model was introduced in 1923 as the multipurpose tractor.

Campaign anchored in the concept of Farmall being “the one for everything” (“The One For All”) will take place during this year. Through the media, everyone will have 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; today, our Farmall continues to be the work horse on farms around the world," he said Scott harris (in the photo), "president" of the global brand Case IH.

"Generation after generation, Farmall has been a symbol of modern agriculture, and we're excited to bring these stories to life throughout 2023."
