FARM TRACTORS: A LIVING HISTORY chronicles the innovative American tractors that shaped the modern farm. The technological development of farm power is traced from the back-breaking days of horse farming through the steam-powered iron beasts and on to the development of the internal combustion engine and the creation of the tractor as we know it today. The book focuses on innovations such as the introduction of the styled tractor, Henry Ford's revolutionary Fordson and Ford-Ferguson 9N, how the industry-standard Nebraska Tractor Tests began, and Allis-Chalmers' experiments with and introduction of rubber-tired tractors.' Tractors built by John Deere, International, Ford, Allis-Chalmers, Massey, Minneapolis-Moline, Case, Caterpillar, Oliver, and an assortment of little-known but historically significant makes are portrayed in vivid color photography.
