long wagon train in the mojave desert during construction of the los angeles aqueduct in 1909 d2 on display in the serpentine vintage tractor museum serpentine western australia the story of inc originates in the late 19th century when daniel best and benjamin holt experimented with ways to fulfill the promise that steam tractors held for farming by 1904 these large steam powered tractors had been plowing california fields for 14 years and occasionally got bogged down in the soft soil especially after heavy rains once stuck in the mire they were difficult to pull free even with teams of horses their great weight typically rested on four metal wheels one solution employed to alleviate this problem was to lay a temporary plank road ahead of the steam tractor but this was time consuming expensive and interfered with earthmoving holt came up with the idea to carry the road with the vehicle on november 24 1904 he added wooden block linked treads around the idlers on holt no 77 his test tractor the results were impressive and the modern tractor was born became famous for its 30 and its 60 tractors in 1909 benjamin holt bought the abandoned but relatively new manufacturing plant of a tractor company that had failed in east peoria illinois the location offered holt everything he needed in a manufacturing center and despite the hefty amount of capital needed for retooling the plant the venture proved so profitable that by 1911 the factory employed 625 people around that time holt manufacturing began exporting its tractors to argentina mexico and canada in addition to their domestic sales the holt manufacturing company later pioneered the use of the continuous track during world war i their crawler tractors inspired the first military tanks which helped end world war i
