4.0 out of 5 stars the field guild to John deere tractors, February 14, 2005

A Kid's Review

THE FIELD GUILD TO JOHN DEERE TRACTORS


I really like this book. The reason that I like this book is because I like this kind of tractors. This book has no plot because it is a field guild for John Deere tractors. What I liked about the book is it tolled me more about the tractors I like. What I don't like about the book is it had other company's tractors. In the book it skipped years. The effect it had on me was it made me want to tell other people about it. I would recommend it to some people because I don't think all people will like it. I would recommend it to people that live on a farm or that want to find out more about John Deere tractors.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too broad., May 16, 2009

There just isn't enough information in this book- it tries to tackle such a large subject and ends up falling short for instance when giving specs on models of tractor it only gives the specs for one model out of the line like for the 20 series they only would give specs for say the 4020- not the 3020 or with the 40 series only the 4440 not the 4240, or 4640. Overall it is a disappointment.
