SynopsisThe fi rst axial fl ow combine transformed the industry and was hailed as the most signifi cant piece of farm equipment built in the 20th century. The axial fl ow used advanced technology to process crops faster and more effi ciently than anything else on the market.

The axial fl ow started with research done by a rogue Swedish engineer in the 1950s, was continued in secret by a group of dedicated engineers from East Moline, Illinois, who did their work in a top-secret garage that only a select few were allowed to enter.

The book tells the story of how extensive research and development allowed IH to build a new machine that took the market by storm.

Done with dozens of interviews of engineers, salespeople, and customers, the

book captures the behind the scenes drama and the cloak and dagger encounters with rival companies personnel and machines.

The dramatic text is accompanied by more than 300 archival images, concept drawings, sketches, and new photography of the machines and men at work today.

The 25th anniversary of the Magnum tractor is celebrated in this thorough history of the Magnum and the late IH tractors. With fresh perspective from the engineers, industrial designers, and others who actually built the tractors as well as more than 700 archival images, prototype drawings, and photos of restored tractors by Lee Klancher, this book provides an unprecedented history of red tractors during the past 50 years.

“This book is absolutely awesome! The detail in the text and the beauty in the photography are exquisite. This is something in which the authors can take great pride.” —Max Armstrong, host of WGN radio show, “Farm Progress America”

“The story of the 50 series and the Magnum is one that needed to be told, and this group did a great job putting it together. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading it.” —Dr. Glenn W. Kahle, lead engineer for the 50 series and the Magnum

“Whether you’ve always ‘bled red’ or if you’re just tickled by tractors in general, this book is a fascinating read—and a gorgeous ride.” —Michael Perry, author of Truck: A Love Story

“Being raised on the farm taught me lessons of hard work and dependability, two qualities we can also fi nd in our Case IH equipment. And you can’t beat the service we receive from our Case IH dealer who’s there for us when we need him.”—Jordy Nelson, Green Bay, Wis., professional football player

“Through the years our family has seen the toughness and durability of Case IH equipment both in the fi eld and on the track. This is why we choose Case IH tractors to compete with on the pulling track. The ruggedness and durability of our tractors help put us ahead of our competition.”—Darrin Hunt, Hunt Farms, Ky., 2012 National Tractor Pulling Association Grand National Super Farm Points Champion

“There are a lot of changes in the way things are going— we have to stay productive. We don’t want to have to run a lot of equipment, so the machines we do have, have to be reliable. We’ve got 2,500 acres in corn and soybeans, and these tractors have been bulletproof.”—Jon Thompson, Danvers, Ill.

“I’ll take the Steiger over anything. We have a 24-row planter and we haven’t had any issue with the Steiger when it comes to power not pulling down, not hesitating, even going over hilly ground. You can do just about anything with this tractor.”—Mike Daigh, Taylorville, Ill.

“We always used to be color-blind when it came to equipment, but we started going to Case IH in a big way when the Axial fl ow combines and Magnum tractors came out. We have continued to evaluate other options, but we have stayed with Case IH because of the technology and performance in the fi eld.”—Brian Hefty, Co-Host of AgPhD

“Farming in the 21st century defi nitely has its challenges with rising land prices, fuel costs,fertilizer and seed costs. We farm more land now and have to do it in a very short amount of time. That’s why we have always depended on Case IH. Now with their effi cient power technology their equipment delivers more power on less money. Operator comfort and how simple they are for anyone to run is very important when your putting in these long hours. Case IH has always been the leader of the pack in our book.” —Don and Kandi Kisky, co-hosts of Whitetail Freaks

Happy Plants Need a Good Home.Tilling turns hard soil into a good soft home for seeds.

Hard soil acts like a brick. It does not let water, air, or plant food pass through it.

Soft soil acts like a sponge. It soaks up water, air, and plant food.

Each spring, the first thing I do is till the fields. Tilling is the action of digging into the

ground and breaking up the soil into small chunks. When the soil is broken up, water and

food can easily reach the seeds that I will plant. Farmers like me call that a good growing environment!

Let’s Till!

Hi there! My name is Tammi, and I’m in charge of tilling. My strong “f ingers” break up the

hard ground as Sammy pulls me up and down the fields. Together,

we get the job done!

That’s right, Tammi, we work as a team! I’m Sammy, the most

powerful tractor on the farm. It is hard work pulling Tillie, so it’s

good that I’m strong.

•FeaturesextraordinaryFarmalltractorsrestoredtotheirformerglory

SynopsisThe history of the Farmall tractor is celebrated for 2015 with sumptuous photography of machines from the entire history of International Harvester. This year’s selections are a hard-working crop that showcases the restoration work of some of America’s fi nest restorers, as well as the detective work done by discerning collectors who acquired the tractors. The calendar’s oldest entry is a 1919 Mogul 10-20, an early three-ton beast that spent much of its later life stashed in an urban warehouse in downtown Austin, Texas before

collector Lou Buice whisked it away to his ranch near Moody, Texas. The 1927 Farmall Regular is another Texan entry, and this one has the distinction of being meticulously restored by a descendant of the general superintendent of Farmall Works, Ezra Sohner. Ezra led the plant, incidentally, during the time this particular machine was restored by Harold Sohner of Fredericksburg, Texas. Frank Tomac went to extraordinary

measures to bring his International Harvester A514 diesel home, as it was built and spent its life working in Australia. The unrestored gem is a puzzler to the educated eye, as the model was created by the famously independent Australian IH engineers with a hodge-podge of parts. There are a few examples of the extraordinary machines that are featured in this calendar.
