Farmall 230

I was at a charity auction a while ago where they sold a new toy Farmall 230 still in the box. Was there such a thing as a 250 that would be in the line with the 350 and 450?

I have not heard of such a model . They did make 234 and a 240 .

There was not a corresponding 250 tractor. The closest would be imported and also assembled here from imported parts tractors made in the UK, and parts sourced from Germany the UK. Jim

The B-250 Diesel was made in England, followed by the B-275, B-414 etc.

Tall, there is a site called Tractordata that has a lot of
information on brands and the models they produced
along with some information and specifications of
each. I am linking a page to their information on the
B250 that was mentioned here. If you click the bold
Tractordata on the pages there it will take you to the
list of manufacturers. This will likely give you some
help towards the questions you had about Minneapolis
Molines. On the ..Overview.. page for a particular
model usually if you scroll down towards the bottom
there is information there on the serial numbers. It is
often broke down by year so you can usually make an
approximation of the total number of machines of that
model that were produced. Just FYI models designated
by letters at the bottom of main list below the number
models. Also the sight cannot always be considered
100 percent accurate, but for the most part is fairly
good.

The 230 is in the line with the 350 and 450. The series went 130, 230, 350, 450.

Why did they not do 150, 250, 350, 450? You'd have to ask them.

If I were to guess, I would say that the marketing team thought 130 and 230 sounded better.

When the next series came out, 140, 240, 340, 460, 560, the middle number indicated the number of cylinders in the engine.
