The story of European-made farm tractors is fascinating, varied, and very wide-ranging. This book features them all, from Dan Albone's pioneering Ivel of 1902 to the JCB Fastrac and the latest high-tech machines from Germany and Italy. There are American names here too - Allis-Chalmers, Fordson, John Deere and International all built tractors in Europe. Giants of the industry like Henry Ford and Harry Ferguson feature strongly, but there are also little-known makes like Ransome of Britain, Hurlimann of Switzerland and Russia's Volgograd. Many car makers - Citroen, Fiat, Renault and Austin - diversified into tractors, but did you know that Porsche and Lamborghini made tractors too? There are tiny crawler machines to giant super-tractors, all of them made in Europe.
