What is minneapolis moline?

Minneapolis-Moline was an American agricultural machinery manufacturer headquartered in Hopkins, Minnesota. The company was formed in 1929 through the merger of three smaller companies: Minneapolis Steel & Machinery, Moline Plow Company, and Minneapolis Threshing Machine Company.

Minneapolis-Moline was known for producing a wide range of farm equipment, including tractors, combines, plows, and other machinery. The company was also an early pioneer in the development of diesel-powered tractors, introducing the first commercially successful diesel farm tractor in 1938.

During World War II, Minneapolis-Moline shifted its production to support the war effort, producing military vehicles and equipment. After the war, the company continued to expand its product line and innovate in the agricultural machinery industry.

In the 1960s, Minneapolis-Moline merged with its rival company, White Motor Company, to form White Farm Equipment Company. The company continued to operate under the White brand until it was eventually acquired by AGCO Corporation in 1991.

Today, Minneapolis-Moline tractors and equipment are popular among collectors and enthusiasts, with a strong following in the antique tractor community. The brand is also remembered for its distinctive orange color scheme and unique design features, such as the Twin City tractor series.
