The Big Book of Farm Tractors

This is it: The first large-format book to chronicle the entire history of American farm tractors-from the steam power of the 1850s to the current offerings from New Holland, AGCO, John Deere,  Caterpillar, and more. The Big Book of Farm Tractors is also the story of people, both on the farms and in the great industries; it presents the personal, human side of the history of tractors and how they influenced the farm during the past 150 years.  Detailed descriptions of tractors especially significant to the period, short essays on events defining the times, personal vignettes, collectibles, sales memorabilia, ads from old farm magazines, and old black & white photos of farm scenes make this a complete look at one of America's greatest innovations. Hardcover, 9 x 12 256 pgs 600 color & b&w photos
