An affordable paperback of the biggest, best, and most complete history of classic farm tractors, with great pictures of all North American models.
At last in paperback, here is the biggest, best, and most complete history of classic farm tractors. All North American models make their appearance—from John Deere and Farmall to fascinating “orphans” like the Iron Mule, from the late 1800s steamers through the high-powered workhorses of the 1970s. In addition to high-detail large-format photography, the volume includes 100 color and black-and-white archival photos, advertising posters, and brochures. The result is an unparalleled look at the icon of American agriculture.
“Sander’s work . . . comes close to earning the elusive label of ‘definitive.’ This large-format, beautifully photographed book is perfect for general browsing. . . . An excellent book for those who know that tractors embody more than metal.”
— Farm Industry News
“If you enjoy learning about the rich history of tractors, this book is for you . . . Besides its in-depth look at some of the rarest tractors ever made, the book also features more than 400 photos.” — FFA New Horizons
