Classic Farm Tractors: 200 of the Best, Worst, and Most Fascinating Tractors of All Time | |
From iconic stalwarts to more eccentric entries into the agriculture industry, this colorful, fun, and fact-filled book profiles scores of farm tractor classics from the twentieth century. Veteran tractor author Robert Pripps tackles each model with aplomb, offering concise descriptions and histories along with informative specification charts that give the lowdown on all-important considerations like horsepower ratings, engine sizes, weights, fuel types, and more. Illustrated with color photography by Ralph Sanders and Andrew Morland, Classic Farm Tractors is arranged chronologically to give a better sense of farm tractor evolution and includes all of the usual suspects--from the likes of John Deere, Farmall, Fordson and Ford, Case, Allis-Chalmers, Minneapolis-Moline, Best, Caterpillar, Massey-Harris, Massey-Ferguson, Oliver, Rumely, and Hart-Parr--as well as lesser-known and forgotten marques manufactured throughout the United States and Canada. In addition, Pripps includes a generous selection of farm tractors from Europe, including models from Fiat, Lanz, Le Percheron, Renault, Deutz, and more. Classic Farm Tractors is an entertaining look at the tractors we all know and love as well as the oddball tractors that fans find fascinating. With well over 200 photographs of more than 100 years of tractors from all over North America and Europe it's the perfect gift for all tractor lovers.
作者简介Robert Pripps has authored numerous farm tractor books, including Vintage Ford Tractors, Big Book of Caterpillar, Big Book of Massey, and more, all with Voyageur Press. Robert has a maple syrup farm near Park Falls, Wisconsin.

He has worked for Prairie Farmer; Successful Farming; and as a full-time freelance agricultural photographer for Deere & Co., Massey-Ferguson, Kinze Mfg., Vermeer Mfg., DuPont Ag, Monsanto Ag, and others.

Excellent write-ups and excellent photos; but I'm "dinging" this book one star because of what they did to so many of the latter: Why in blazes did they have to print photos across the gutter?!?!? Most photos are okay -- they fit in one page. But there are many that are needlessly printed across the gutter when they could have been sized down a bit. So I want to see what this particular Farmall looks like; but I'd have to tear the book apart and put the two pages together flat to get the picture. Dumb! In at least one case, all they had to do was crop the photo a little, getting rid of a bunch of bland, fallow field to the left of the tractor, and then the whole tractor would have fit into the left page, instead of crossing the bloomin' gutter. Many of the photos are like that; they don't take up both pages, just spill onto the second page, when a little bit of cropping and/or resizing would have allowed the reader to see what the bloomin' tractor looked like.
Filled with some 200 tractors with all the specs and gorgeous photography, this book is a great guide to all kinds of classic farm tractors. John Deere, Farmall, Minneapolis-Moline, Oliver, and a whole lot more. A great gift!
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my grandfather-in-law. He absolutely loved it. He loved the pictures most. Well-designed book.
Bought as Father's Day present for my dad. He's really enjoying it.
This is a great looking book with entertaining write ups. I bought it for my brother in law and had to take it away from my husband so I could wrap it.
