This review is from: John Deere: A History of the Tractor (Hardcover)
I really enjoy this book. It looks great, it reads great, and it's chock full of good information about the tractors, but also about the business and its history.I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves John Deere machinery, but also wants to know more about the company's history in the tractor business.
