Should a mention be made of the new CaseIH tractors which carry the Farmall name? They're the DX series if I recall correctly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.129.225.211 ( talk) 02:53, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
I moved the 460 back into the 3 plow category. It has about the same horsepower as the 450, but isn't as heavy a tractor. The H evolved into the Super H, 300, 350 then 460. The M evolved through the Super M, 400, 450, 560. n2xjk 02:12, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
I see BDM popped the 460 back to the 4 plow list. I'll have to see if one of the Farmall books I have and/or the original marketing materials for the 460 actually rates it higher than a 450. I know the 460 has a 6 cyl and the 450 has a 4 cyl, but the 450 is a bigger, heavier tractor than the 460. n2xjk 13:51, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
According to the Nebraska Tests, the 450D has 48bhp and weighs 5800lbs and the 460D has 49bhp and weighs 5200lbs. They're closer matched than I thought, but I don't know if there's some sort of rule for saying one's a 3 plow vs. 4 plow tractor. n2xjk 13:55, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
I removed "Farmall's have been used as the model for more toy tractor designs than any other make" from the trivia section because I don't know how correct this is. I did a quick google search on toy tractors and I can't find correlating information anywhere. If anyone knows the source for this fact, they are welcome to restore this trivia and cite its source. n2xjk 20:47, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
I see someone keeps adding International brand tractors to the list of models. When I originated this article, I wanted it to focus exclusively on the Farmall brand. Perhaps a separate new article should be added to cover the other tractor models that IH produced. Only a few tractors are mentioned in the International Harvester article. [unsigned, May 2007]
In my thinking row crop is the form factor, Farmall is the brand. I do agree with Lumbercutter in that the meaning of the Farmall brand diluted over the years. I think IH realized this after the -66 models and that's why the label was first downplayed (the 'black label' Farmalls) and then dropped. I'm not even counting CASE-IH's current use of the Farmall brand (i.e., totally meaningless). n2xjk 21:46, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Couldn't the title of the article just be "Farmall"? I can't think of anything else called "Farmall" that would cause confusion. - Geekosaurus - 00:05, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
