The IH factory located in Neuss, Germany, began manufacturing the smallest Farmall F-12 model in 1937. The engine was a 1.8-liter 15-horsepower gasoline engine. It had 3+1 gears. A couple of years later, a version with rubber tires was made available with a range extender that doubled the road speed.

The first IH model partially designed in Germany was the FS (spiked wheels) and FG (rubber wheels), introduced in 1940. It had an enlarged 2.0-liter engine, and the rubber-tired version had 4+1 gears. The FG was available as a high version with 40" wheels and a low version with 24" wheels.

Production of the FS and FG continued after the war. In 1951, a new diesel tractor, the DF-25, was introduced. Its engine was developed in Germany and started directly on diesel, unlike IH’s American diesel engines. In other respects, the DF-25 was the last German IH model based on American Farmall technology.
