This is the complete history of the tractor that changed farming—in America and around the world—forever. International Harvester began to experiment with tractors around 1905. It wasn’t until the early 1920s that the company hit upon a successful model for the small-acreage farmer—and the Farmall tractor was born. The make went on to become the dominant tractor in America, selling more than a million models a year in the peak of the post-war boom.

“If you are looking to settle in for a long winter’s night with a beautifully photographed, carefully researched tractor book, this one should top your list. A solid addition to your library.”

Farmall Freak's Christmas Present,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Farmall: Eight Decades of Innovation (Hardcover)
I purchased this book for my son, Farmall Freak. It was everything he expected and more. A great history/reference book, especially now that he has begun restoration on his own Farmalls. A plethora of information and the photos are great in number and detail. I recommend this to anyone with an interest in Farmall tractors and/or history.

I got this book as a Christmas gift for my father who farmed with Farmall tractors all his life. The book has lots of full color pictures. I have not read the book myself yet but my father is in the process of reading it cover to cover and is enjoying every minute of it
