  • 1890–1944

    1890–1944

    As early as the 1880s, inventors in Australia and the United States experimented with cane harvesters and loaders. None of these early designs proved commercially viable and in the 1940s nearly all sugarcane was still cut by hand. A skilled cane cutter could cut around 9 tons of sugar cane per day. Sometime between 1942 and 1944, the Toft brothers invented their first sugarcane harvester. In 1944, the brothers entered a mechanical harvester contest. Due to WWII, severe labor shortages prompted the call for inventions to alleviate these shortages in the labor intensive sugar industry.
  • 1945–1957

    1945–1957

    In 1947 Toft brothers form partnership to manufacture mechanical sugar cane harvesters. In 1955 First export to South Africa. In 1956 Harold Toft develops hydraulic loader to load hand-cut or machine-cut sugar cane.Slim Jim - Larger dedicated machines were more suited to the larger farmer and the contractors who cut cane for groups of farmers.Broad Claude - As the years past further developments were made to improve the machines.
  • 1958–1969

    1958–1969

    In the 1960s Toft Whole Stalk harvester could cut 10 tons per hour. In 1965 Chopper harvester makes handling much more efficient and reduces amount of soil that goes into processing.Toft Bros - CH 364 Robot 1969 – 1971 Hydrostatic transmission - Hydraulic drives to chain cases.
  • 1970–1996

    1970–1996

    By the 1970sthe Toft company had grown to more than 750 employees. Toft Bros begins production in Brazil in 1976. Introduction of the “Thousand Series” - 6000 - Fully hydraulic removal of all of the chain drives. The introduction of the 7000 in 1984 brings a major advantage - the ability to harvest green cane.
  • 1997–2014

    1997–2014

    In 1996, Case Corp acquires Austoft and the following year, the machines transition to the iconic red livery of the Case IH brand. In 2004, Austoft production moved from Bundaberg, Australia to Piracicaba, Brazil due to the rapid mass-scale mechanization of the Brazilian sugar industry. In 2006, The heritage of innovation continues in Brazil as Austoft introduces auto tracker basecutter height control on 7000 series harvesters as well as a brand new smaller harvester - the 4000 series.
