[edit] History

The long history of Case IH centers around two men who fueled the advancement of agricultural innovation in the United States. Contemporaries Cyrus McCormick and Jerome Increase Case made their mark during the mid-1800s. Their inventions are claimed to have increased agricultural productivity 100 times over.

[edit] Chronological History

In 1842 J.I. Case founded Racine Threshing Machine Works on the strength of his innovative thresher. In 1869 Case expanded into the steam engine business. By 1886, Case was the world’s largest manufacturer of steam engines.

Bit of History missing here Case parent company Tenneco in 1974 took over the David Brown tractor company in the UK.

In 1985, Case merged with the agricultural division of International Harvester to become the second-largest farm equipment manufacturer in the world, to form Case IH, bringing together the best of both traditions to offer a full line of agricultural equipment.

In 1999 Case Corporation merged with New Holland Ag to form CNH Global, the parent company of Case IH. The majority owner of CNH Global is Fiat.

[edit] Trivia

(most removed as pointless rubbish)

  • The J.I. Case Company had three cars in the first Indianapolis 500 in 1911[3].
  • In 2005, an STX500 Steiger Quadtrac tractor shattered the World Ploughing Record, turning 792 acres of farmland in just 24 hours[4].
  • All Case IH equipment can use (B5) biodiesel from approved suppliers. And, nearly half of the models sold globally are approved, following proper protocols, for 100 percent biodiesel (B100)[5].
  • 2007 was Steiger’s 50th anniversary.
