1918 Titan 10-20 Tractor

 This tractor (serial #TV22609) was made by International Harvester Company in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In 1915, IHC made seven 10-20 Titans. From 1916 to 1922, IHC's Milwaukee Works produced 78,363 10-20s, building one every 4 1/2 minutes at its peak of production. Stuhr Museum's Titan 10-20 was reportedly used to pull a two-bottom gang plow on a farm near North Platte, Nebraska, in Lincoln County, about 140 miles west of Grand Island.
 The Titan 10-20's Nebraska Tractor Test was #23, performed from June 14th to June 19th, 1920. You can view the original results of this test as a pdf by clicking or touching here.

 The maker of this tractor, International Harvester Company, was formed when an agreement was made on August 12, 1902 between people representing five different firms that specialized in harvesting equipment. Those firms were the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company; the Deering Harvester Company; the Plano Harvester Company; the Warder, Bushnell & Glessner Company; and the Milwaukee Harvester Company. As you walk around Stuhr Museum's exhibit, you will see several other items made by International Harvester Company, including four other tractors.
