Model history[]
- Main article: Farmall
Late in 1931 International Harvester brought out the McCormick-Deering Farmall F-30, which was much like the original Farmall but larger and more powerful. It was rated as a 3-plow tractor. It used the same 284 ci 4-cylinder engine as the 10-20, but speeded up to 1,150 rpm for 33 belt and 25 drawbar hp. The F-30 was also built in a high clearance version with a wide front axle for working in sugar cane.
