The Edrob/Farmall 544 was a row crop tractor built by International Harvester from 1968 to 1973 in the US.

Model historyEdit

Main article: International Harvester

For high clearance version see: Farmall 544 Hi-Clear. For utility model see: International 544. For row crop utility model see: International 544 Row Crop. For industrial model see: International 2544. For models with hydrostatic transmission see: Farmall 544 Hydro, Farmall 544 Hi-Clear Hydro, International 544 Hydro, International 544 Row Crop Hydro, and International 2544 Hydro.

The International Farmall 544 was about 1,000 lb heavier than the previous McCormick Farmall 504. New engines moved it up from the 3-4 plow 45-hp class to the full 4-plow 55-hp class. A new 200 ci C-200 4-cylinder gas engine, derived from the C-301 6-cylinder of the Farmall 856, replaced the old C-153 four. The available diesel engine was a new German International-built D-239 4-cylinder, replacing the American-built D-188. As before, the main transmission was a 5-speed and a 2-speed Torque Amplifier was available. Larger 13.6-38 standard rear tires helped put the increased power to the ground and dual rears were optional.

Tractor Comparison, gasoline version Edit

The gasoline-powered Farmall 544 competed directly in power, weight, and price with the Allis-Chalmers One-Seventy, Ford 4000 Row Crop, John Deere 2510 RC (row crop), Minneapolis-Moline U302 Super Row Crop, and Oliver 1550 Row Crop. The Case 730CK Row Crop was heavier and more powerful. The John Deere 2520 RC, which replaced the 2510 RC, was also more powerful. The Massey-Ferguson MF165 Row Crop, essentially a raised utility tractor, also competed with the Farmall 544.

Tractor Comparison, diesel version Edit

The diesel-powered Farmall 544 competed directly in power, weight, and price with the Allis-Chalmers One-Seventy, Ford 4000 Row Crop, John Deere 2510 RC (row crop), Minneapolis-Moline U302 Super Row Crop, and Oliver 1550 and 1555 Row Crop. The Case 730CK Row Crop was heavier and more powerful. The John Deere 2520 RC, which replaced the 2510 RC, was also more powerful. The John Deere 2020 RU, Massey-Ferguson MF165 Row Crop, Minneapolis-Moline G450 Row Crop, Oliver 1355 Hi-Clear, and Oliver 1365 Row Crop, essentially raised utility tractors, also competed with the Farmall 544. The BMC Nuffield 10/60, David Brown 990, Deutz D5506, and Fiat 650/615/600 were built taller than some utility and standard models and could compete with the Farmall in some situations.
