Nice to finally see a factory video with the European international tractors. Usually you can only find the ones with the American international. As someone who lives in the Netherlands I greatly enjoy this video

I drove that actual 574 high clearance tractor in 1982...... 40 years ago.

@@MidwestFarmToys Yes, Brooksby college where I attended had an annual visit of third year Agricultural Mechanics students to Knights & Sons and we all had a drive of both the 574 and 784 high clearance tractors modified by Knights.

My dad's friend worked at the big IHI dealer in South Australia I remember all the brand new pay loader's and TD25s

As an American watching this, we forget how truly small England is and how short it’s growing season must be, until we hear 140acres called a farm and see equipment that big being used on it even in the 1970’s or 80’s when this was filmed. In the U.S. it would be called a hobby farm at best, and in many areas one of the farms smaller fields. 140 acres hasn’t been considered an actual viable farm here since the early 1920’s - mid 1930’s at best. One of the biggest advertising selling points for the original Farmall regular tractor which developed 13.7 drawbar horsepower and 20.05 belt horsepower was that it allowed one man to intensely farm 200acres. Basically almost entirely freeing the farm from using horses or other draft animals for the first time in history. We sure do have things a lot better and easier on the farm these days then even just a decade or two ago.

ours was 135 acres till 2001, not all farming is arable

[@aaronfarr4753]

@@timberwolf27 never said it was. We had over 800acres total scattered out. Roughly half was arable and the rest was pasture, farmyard with the dairy barn and other structures including the farmhouses, sugar bush (woods filled with maple trees to be tapped for making maple syrup) and wood lots where we cut our firewood to heat our houses in winter.

[@Alive_AF]

[@TheSaturnV]

I have to admit I never knew IH sold equipment overseas. Thank you for posting this!!

[@onealfarms9967]

They didn’t sell over seas the built them over seas and shut US company’s down here and started selling to USA farmers due to cost and regulations started in the 70s

[@J-1410]

That was the I in IHC, International, even before IHC McCormick sold internationally.

[@Sjanzo]

@@onealfarms9967 Doncaster built tractors for North America and Scandinavia. Neuss built tractors for mainland Europe.

[@cliffsaxon5493]

IH Built Tractors In Doncaster, England From 1952 Until The CNH Merger When They Sold The Factory To McCormick Tractors Where They Built McCormicks Until A Decade Ago When They Shut It Down. CNH Still Builds Case IH Tractors In England At The Old Ford Tractor Factory At Balisdon.

Die gute in Deutschland entwickelte XL Kabiene 😎💪🏻

[@ArmpitStudios]

Strange drag harrow or whatever that was being pulled by chains in the last clip.

[@TonyM132]

I read the description first. Wait, the 85 series? They were post-merger CaseIH. Oh, European models, not American, nevermind...
