What makes a particular A-C tractor a "LandHandler" ?
I have seen this moniker on various A-C tractors. I am researching a 200 LandHandler that I took pictures of last July; my investigations have turned up more 200s without the LandHandler moniker than with; but, I have not yet found any explanation as to what it takes to wear the LandHandler badge. |

On my 170 the “Landhandler” had the hydraulic pump on right side of engine about underneath the fuel tank. It was easier to get to but other than that I visibly can’t tell the difference. I’m sure some of the smarter AC folks will know a Lot more.

I think the- Landhandler- was more focused on the 175, 185, and XT series 3 as they were turned up a little more for the high speed farming concept- and its just a decal

210-220's had the decal too. I have a 220 with the decal on one side of the hood but not on the other.

I've never seen a 200 with the Landhandler decal but I have a sales brochure that is titled 200 Landhandler. But pictures in the brochure never show a decal.... just the racing stripe of the early 200. I believe there is a 440 brochure titled 440 Landhandler too.

"Crop-Hustler" was the 175 and 185. Pull the same implements as your old One-Seventy and One-Eighty only a little faster. Nothing but a marketing strategy.

I browsed my collection of this body style, 160 to 200, and the 200 is currently the only tractor /picture I have with the Landhandler decal.
I find it interesting that all of the 160 in my collection have a "Diesel" decal; when, according to my understanding, the 160 was only ever available in diesel; in fact, the only thing A-C about the 160 is the color. I do still have a couple thousand photos I took last year that I haven't yet gotten organized and I am certain there are more of this style A-C among them. -- a couple thousand tractor photos that is -- I also have thousands of photos of Civil War reenactments, mule wagon rides, railroads and trains that also need putting in order; maybe if this pandemic lasts long enough I might get caught up. |

Thanks for the pics and info- sharp looking 200,, - but those decals can come from just putting them on and dont mean a thing on - heritage etc

That is becoming my conclusion; I am beginning to believe that the stickers don't mean a thing. |

Back when the 220 & 210s were being introduced, AC had a “Landhandler” mailer they sent to farmers. Anyone still got a copy from the early 1970s?

I believe the Landhandler magazine went into the 1990's

I have seen ads on our local C/L and on Tractor House advertising a Series 3 Land Handler 190 XT, only to see pics of a "sloped" fender, bar grill straight 190
. T/H is the WORST offender IMO.
