America's Classic Farm
Tractors
by Randy Leffingwell, Leffingwell, RandyBook 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.
