“Classic John Deere Two-Cylinder Tractors does an excellent job of compiling the history of these iconic tractors. Much more than a collection of data, the book tells the story of these tractors: the era, the people, the factories, and the machines. A great read for anyone interested in classic tractors.” - TractorData.com

This review is from: Classic John Deere Two-Cylinder Tractors: History, Models, Variations & Specifications 1918-1960 (Tractor Legacy Series) (Kindle Edition)
for the info buff and book reader ; good stuff !! for the info only guy , lotta FLUFF in book , but it is all connected one way or the other . LOTTA back tracking and skipping around , however , each chapter is almost a stand alone book rather than sequence so as to cover each model well . parallels to other brands and makers and historic events tucked in REALLY piques my interest . i am a FORD type that owns an inexpensive JD-B and finding the book enjoyable . compared to other things one could buy , this is well worth the price . i have it on KINDLE and my 50+ yr eyes prefer it . so , drop some cash , learn , READ , expand that grey matter !! be a smarter and know WHY or WHY NOT John Deere more than before ....
4.0 out of 5 stars
