The Fordson. The Farmall Regular. The John Deere Spoker D. These tractors shaped the farm and helped American agriculture shift from small operations powered by muscle and sweat to big-acreage spreads worked with diesel and gas.
The evolution of the farm tractor is traced in this beautifully photographed look at 36 models that shaped the industry. Beginning with a Case steamer and ending with the Cat Challenger, Tractors: Icons of the American Landscape follows the development of farm machinery from crude friction-driven machines to 300-horsepower computer-controlled behemoths.
The stories behind these fascinating machines come to life with author Randy Leffingwell's lively text and gorgeous photography. Tractors: Icons of the American Landscape profiles the well-known, hallmark tractors as well as lesser-known machines such as the Case Model CC, the Allis-Chalmers Model G, and the Minneapolis-Moline Model U LPG.
With more than 170 alluring colour photographs and an engaging, insightful text, Tractors: Icons of the American Landscape offers a unique slice of history that tractor enthusiasts of all varieties will cherish!
