The History Of Tractors With Great Photographs,
By
This review is from: American Farm Tractor (Hardcover)
This is a nice book for persons involved in farming and tractors. It is an attractive large-size full-color book that is an excellent coffee table book. If you have been involved with tractors over the years, you will certainly enjoy this book's look back on the American Farm Tractors over the years.
Barnes & Noble republished this book in 2002 with the very same cover. Whether you locate the original 1991 edition or the more recent 2002 edition you will have essentially the same book.

This book will definately be a "keeper".,
By "big_duke_fan" (Wilkesboro, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: American Farm Tractor (Hardcover)
Bought for my husband for Christmas since he comes from a few generations of tractor owners this book was the perfect gift for him to gather his son on his lap and share stories and pictures. We wish it had more pictures of more classic oldies. The brief histories given on the pictured tractors are pretty good though. I bought this book second hand, in great condition and plan on saving to give to our son when he has children so he can pass along the stories.
5.0 out of 5 stars
