Since John Deere himself began handcrafting and distributing farm implements in 1837, the company he founded has become one of the most recognized names at home, on the farm, on the work site, and a model for businesses around the world.
John Deere Industrials recalls almost 100 years of this fascinating line of machines. Moving west during America's agricultural expansion, struggling through the Great Depression and wartime, and as a workhorse for the rapid growth of the past 50 years, Deere has played a vital role in the U.S.'s construction, forestry, and manufacturing industries. With the introduction of skid steers, loaders, excavators, and much more, Deere's industrial line has set the bar for its competitors. Filled with information and entertaining stories, brilliant photos of new and restored machines in action, as well as exclusive images from Deere & Co.'s historical archives, no stone is left unturned. If you're a fan of tractors and heavy machinery, or simply the John Deere name, this book belongs in your collection.
