1947 McCormick Farmall BN Culti-Vision Tractor

No. 060 of 207

Farmall was a model name and later a brand name for tractors manufactured by International Harvester. The Farmall name was usually presented as McCormick-Deering Farmall and later McCormick Farmall in the evolving brand architecture of International Harvester.

Farmalls were general-purpose tractors. Their origins were as row-crop tractors, a category that they helped establish and in which they long held a large market share. During the decades of Farmall production (1920s to 1980s), most Farmalls were built for row-crop work, but many orchard, fairway, and other variants were also built. Most Farmalls were all-purpose tractors that were affordable for small to medium-sized family farms and could do enough of the tasks needed on the farm that the need for hired hands was reduced and the need for horses or mules was eliminated. Thus, Farmall was a prominent brand in the 20th-century trend toward the mechanization of agriculture in the US.

The McCormick-Deering Farmall BN was a narrow McCormick-Deering Farmall B, with shorter axle shafts to reduce the rear tread. The Farmall BN was produced between 1941 and 1947.
