Brand siblingFarmall C
The Farmall C is a row crop tractor made from 1948 to 1951. It's a small, simple machine built for working in fields with crops planted in rows. This tractor has two-wheel drive and manual steering, which means it's easy to control but might need more effort to turn. The Farmall C runs on a gasoline engine made by International Harvester. This engine has four cylinders and can produce 23 horsepower. It's not very powerful compared to other tractors, but it's enough for many farm jobs. The tractor has a basic transmission with four forward gears and one reverse gear. It also has a PTO (power take-off) that spins at 540 rpm, which is useful for running other farm tools. The Farmall C weighs 2,845 pounds, which is quite light for a tractor. It's about 10 feet long and just under 6 feet tall, making it compact and easy to store.
