Description
Tractors of the World is a pictorial history of the tractor with full-colour pictures alongside historical black-and-white. It depicts the days of primitive steam-powered traction engines, through to the sleek, sophisticated powerhouses that perform as the main workhorses of today's farming industry. Featuring all of the most-beloved makes from John Deere, Fordson and Allis Chalmers to Massey Ferguson, SAME and - many farmers' ultimate workhorse - the Japan-built Kubota, tractor enthusiasts won't be able to get enough information about their favourite models. Tractors come in all shapes and sizes, and this book covers the field from the early steam-driven monsters to the traditional 'two large, two small' wheel configuration; the 'Row Crop' models with two small front wheels placed close together and two large rear wheels, and finally to the ultimate modern, four-wheel-drive, multi-geared mega-beast with GPS devices and on-board computers. Tractors have a unique following of enthusiasts who would like to, or actually do, own one of these wonderful machines. The cult of the tractor is still going strong in every corner of the world.
