Tractors made at Fargo's Case IH plant are heading to Antarctica. As Kevin Wallevand explains, the tractors have to be specially modified to run in the punishing conditions.
Also 2023 is the 100th anniversary of the Farmall tractor’s introduction. I can’t believe how far they’ve come, from going from the farmall regular plowing the Midwest to the Case IH Steiger in Antarctica

Its mandated by them to make sure his diesel equipment since 2014 has it on so he doesn't roll coal while he feeds his live stock aka (the animals) If he cant start his equipment to go and feed those animals, then they will die.

Actually Case did not merge with New Holland. Case went out of the Agricultural business years ago. Tenneco bought IH and Case Ag. way back in the 1980s and merged them. Fiat bought the company after that and bought NH and merged them in there too. Like you said - Confusing to say the least.
@TonyM132
Жыл бұрын
It was more than a few years ago, it was 23 years ago to be specific. It is confusing, so I think a better explanation is needed to understand it... Tenneco spun off the Case and CaseIH lines into a new independent company called "Case Corp" in 1994. That company only remained independent for five years, as Fiat acquired it in 1999 and merged it with New Holland, which they had bought from Ford in 1991, forming the new subsidiary "CNH Global". Although the letters obviously come from Case and New Holland, the term "Case New Holland" has never been officially used; it is just "CNH". Next in 2011, parent Fiat SpA spun off Iveco and FPT Industrial (from Fiat Powertrain Technologies) into a new independent company called Fiat Industrial. Two years later in 2013, CNH Global was also removed from Fiat SpA and merged into Fiat Industrial, which then changed its name to CNH Industrial. That is how it stands today in 2022: CaseIH, Case, New Holland, and Steyr are the brands of CNH Industrial, an independent publicly traded company headquartered in the UK, but traded on the New York Stock Exchange and an Italian stock exchange. Although CNH is corporately no longer part of Fiat, (just to add one more piece of confusion) the Agnelli family who owns most of the stock of Fiat also owns most of the stock of CNH Industrial, so they are still unofficially "related" in that way. Take a look at the current CNH Industrial logo. To make the I for "Industrial", the black letter H has a red square dot over it, reminiscent of the logo IH used from 1946 to 1985, clearly and rightly a tribute to International Harvester.

@@mattstarzec4143 Case never went out of the agricultural business, they always built and sold farm tractors. All other Case agriculture equipment besides tractors was ended by parent Tenneco in 1972, the same year Tenneco bought David Brown tractors and merged them into Case, which it had acquired five years earlier. The JI Case Company ceased to be independent way back in 1964, when it was purchased by the Kern County Land Company of California. Tenneco bought Case (the entire company including construction and lawn & garden, not just ag equipment) well before the 1980's, buying all of Kern County Land Co three years later in 1967. Tenneco later bought just the agricultural assets of International Harvester (not the entire company) in November 1984, then finally exited the farm equipment business in 1994, as per my previous reply.

The brand new tractors in the video are for the Australians, so they didn't cost the American taxpayers anything. Most of the footage however is from the USAP, which has an annual budget of around $500 million. The budget that was just approved for the US military in 2023? $850 billion or 1700x more, and that's even $45 billion more than what the president asked for. The USAP did take delivery of two new MTS quads early in 2022, but I can tell you that it was time. I think the newest Case quad there is about a 2010 model, and none of them have fewer than 15000 hours on them. One of them certainly has over 20k hours.
