the first practical one and it
sold like hotcakes - 3000 in
1850; 20,000 in 1860 and 40,000
in 1863. It cut labor re
quirements in half and
reduced the time harvest
ready gram had to stand in
the field.
There were many other
important inventions that
helped shape today’s
agriculture - a lot of them
were simply refinements on
existing equipment.
Threshing equipment was
refined, combined, put on
wheels and modernized into
a grain combine that did the
whole job in one pass. Steam
power came out of the fac
tories of New England and
onto the farms. Although
bulky and slow, it freed
farmers from dependence on
animal power. Then in 1892,
J.I. Case built the first gas
powered farm tractor. Back
then they were called
gasoline traction engines.

The Hart-Parr Company
coined the word tractor in
1906 to describe its first suc
cessful machine - a 20,000
pound monster that
developed a maximum 45
horsepower.
Henry Ford developed a
lighter tractor using an
automobile engine and in
1917 started the first mass
produced tractors - the
Fordsons. International
Harvester came up with the
tricycle-type tractor in 1924
that provided the mobility
and versatility to do almost
everything around the farm,
thus the trade name Farmall
followed. AUis-Chalmers in
troduced rubber tires m 1932
and the basic farm tractor of
today was complete.
With one very notable ex
ception farm power has
made little progress in the
four decades since then. It’s
gotten bigger and more ex
pensive and there are lots of
