Period

1938

Canada

The merger of McCormick and Deering in 1902 created International Harvesting Co. IH established a Canadian branch plant in the same year in Hamilton, Ontario. In 1911, IH sold the more tractors in Canada than any other manufacturer.

Function

The tractor is a motorized vehicle used to pull and actuate other vehicles or implements that are not power-driven. Tractors are primarily designed for agricultural work: for cultivation, spraying, and harvesting operations. The first tractors, developed in the mid-nineteenth century, were steam-powered and were not very mobile: their main purpose was to power threshers and other equipment. The development of gas-engines in the late 19th century, and their integration into tractors, gave the machines more mobility and flexibility. Robert C. Williams writes in "Fordson, Farmall, and Poppin' Johnny: A history of the farm tractor and its impact on America" (1987) that "Of all the farm implements, the tractor has had the greatest impact on rural life...In one generation between 1920 and 1950, most farms in the United States changed from dependence on draft animals to dependence on mechanical power."

Technical

The Farmall F-14 model was introduced in 1938 after demand grew for smaller and cheaper tractors. The Farmall F-14 was designed so that farmers could easily install and use implements on it. it has a high clearance for use in corn fields and other high crops. It also came with adjustable spacing for the rear wheels. About 27,000 F14 were built.
