Describes how tractors work and the different jobs they do on a farm.

The farm tractor brought the Industrial Revolution to the farm. It lifted the burden from the horse power to horsepower and brought mechanized power into the hands of all farmers. This book tells the fascinating story of the development of the farm tractor with more than 250 color photos of tractors from across the United States.

The Complete Book of Classic Ford Tractors presents the evolution of the popular machines from 1917 to 1996. Model histories are accompanied by detailed specification charts and, of course, gorgeous photography of restored models.

Andrew Morland's beautiful photography captures choice examples of classic American farm tractors. Nick Baldwin provides details on the makeup and histories of these classics, which bear brand names such as Waterloo Boy, John Deere, Farmall, and Oliver. Pictured here are the true pioneers -- the great models from the great manufacturers that broke new technological ground at a time when some farmers still clung to their plow horses. These machines changed the face of farming in America.

Mighty machines in full color for the kids who love them.
