About Wisconsin Tractor
The Wisconsin Tractor was built by the McFarlane family after its machinery business moved to Sauk City. The venture produced roughly 500 tractors before production stopped in 1925.
- Beginning
- Early twentieth-century tractor production; ended in 1925
- Founder / origin
- McFarlane family, Wisconsin
- Known for
- Low-volume agricultural tractors alongside a farm-equipment business
- Sale / later history
- Tractor production stopped in 1925 after crop failures disrupted payments
History and legacy
The family’s blacksmith and agricultural equipment work preceded its tractor production. The archive attributes the end of the tractor venture to crop failures and resulting unpaid accounts. The family business’s later farm-machinery and fabrication activities are a separate continuation, not evidence that Wisconsin Tractor production carried on after 1925.

Index power values can include estimates derived from belt or PTO power. They are identified on each model card and are not interchangeable with a measured engine rating. Model years and missing values follow the source index.
