Product Description
Two landmark MBI tractor histories combined in one gigantic value-priced edition! Randy Leffingwell's celebrated farm-tractor tomes, Farm Tractors: A Living History and Classic Farm Tractors, bring more than a century of classic tractors and mechanical innovation to life with vivid color photography of perfectly restored models spanning the days of steam power to the present. All of the most popular manufacturers--John Deere, International-Harvester, Case, Allis-Chalmers, and Ford, as well as lesser-known "orphan" makes such as Minneapolis-Moline, Massey, and White--are faithfullly chronicled. The result is a sweeping history that essentially covers more than 100 years of American agriculture, as the burden of farming is lifted from the backs of man and beast and placed on an impressive and glistening series of progressively more advanced steel giants.
