Seventy Years of Farm Tractors 1930-2000
By the end of the twentieth century there were some half-million tractors on British farms - more machines than people to drive them. He deals in particular with developments of the classic period from the 1950s to the 1990s. Brian Bell's encyclopaedic book traces the evolution of the farm tractor from the days of starting handle and pan seat to current 4-wheel drive machines with air-conditioned cabs and computer management systems.
These are all machines to be found on British farms irrespective of their country of manufacture. The book is arranged alphabetically by manufacturer from Allis-Chalmers to Zetor, one hundred marques in total. Brian runs concisely through the histories of the companies and their major models, illustrated with a wealth of photographs and extracts from sales literature.
He adds some special features on items such as hydraulic systems and cold-starting aids.
