Authors Don Macmillan and Russell Jones chronicle the development of each of the Deere product lines from 1837 to 1959. This story of The Long Green Line is told in two sections. The first traces lineage, where the machines were derived from, in five chapters of company chronology. The second, a large pictorial section, shows developments in each category, such as tractors, combines, etc. with a collectors attention to detail. Tractor buffs, restorers, and those who simply enjoy reliving the old times will appreciate the easy-to-read narrative set forth in a fresh, pictorial format. Includes 970 photos, drawings, and illustrations (many in full color) . . . from the plow to John Deeres first diesel.

Review
Never before has the Deere & Company product line been so thoroughly covered. Everything we have been waiting for is here an abundance of beautiful photographs, intriguing details and little-known facts. The serious enthusiast will find the over 18 pages of charts on serial numbers, production details and Nebraska Tractor Test data indispensable. Don Macmillans intimate knowledge of the complete line of John Deere products makes this book exciting reading and a goldmine of factual information -- Jack Cherry, director, Two-Cylinder Club

Best book on later model Deere's,
By
This review is from: John Deere Tractors and Equipment (John Deere Tractors & Equipment, 1960-1990) (Hardcover)
This is a great book on late model John Deere equipment from around the world. It is filled with color photos. It describes equipment chronologically and by type. Not only does it discuss agricultural equipment but it covers construction and lawn and garden equipment. There are charts on equipment statistics and it has a large section on the "New Generation of Power". If you are interested in later model Deeres, then I highly recommend this book.
