Allis Chalmers D 19 was the first that offered it as standard equipment

AC. D19 diesel with a factory turbo was before both of those.

I own an Allis D19 diesel, and I always understood they were the first production tractors with turbo and power steering as standard equipment.

We tried one out,from the dealer, kinda liked it, but no low end torque at half throttle to move itself across the yard,but i was just a kid when that all happened,, the 301 was a great improvement!

First mass produced tractor with a turbo yes. First with power steering as standard equipment no.

The first mass produced AG tractor with a turbo was Cat. AC was the first one on wheels. Cat was also the first AG tractor that was Diesel. 1933 IIRC.

Cat made diesel crawlers that saw agriculture use but wouldn't bet the
farm on AG only. International Harvester put diesel on wheels with the
WD40 farm tractor.
