The history of the American farm tractor industry is similar to the development of a hybrid crop. Through trial and error, experimentation, and consolidation, some 200 varieties of farm tractor manufacturers in the United States in the 1920s were pruned down to fewer than a dozen manufacturers selling tractors in the United States today. The Illustrated History of the American Farm Tractor chronicles the ground-breaking machines that shaped the modern farm. The technological development of farm power is traced from the back-breaking days of farming with horses through the steampowered iron beasts and on to the development of farm power is traced from the back-breaking days of farming with horses through the steampowered iron beasts and on to the development of the internal combustion engine and the creation of the traactor as we know it today. Breakthroughs such as the introduction of Henry Ford's revolutionary Fordson, the alliance between Allis-Chalmers and Firestone that brought rubber-tired tractors to the market, Caterpillar's involvement in the application of the diesel engine, and the infamous "handshake agreement" between Ford and Harry Ferguson that created the Ford 9N and the innovative three-point hitch are all chronicled here. As it recounts the fascinating story of the farm tractor's evolution, Illustrated History of the American Farm Tractor covers many of the greatest tractors from famous makers such as John Deere, Waterloo Boy, International Harvester, J.I. Case, Fordson and Ford, Allis-Chalmers, Caterpillar, Massey-Harris, Minneapolis-Moline, Oliver, Cockshutt, Hart-Parr, and White, as well as numerous orphan makes. After scouring the United States, author and photographer Randy Leffingwell has compiled more than 450 beautiful color photographs, accompanied by a rich, informative text, make this a valuable addition for collectors and enthusiasts alike

After the first tractors appeared on the scene in the late 1890s, it took another two decades and plenty of modifications for farmers to embrace this once-crude technology in favor of the steam engine, further advancing the power-farming revolution. Written by an international expert in agricultural machinery, Farm Tractors takes readers back to the nineteenth century to look at the precursors to modern tractors and travels through the years to follow the machine’s evolution as tractors became indispensable equipment on farms across America. INSIDE FARM TRACTORS: •How steam-powered machinery gave way to tractors, and how tractors changed the way that farmers worked •Prominent early manufacturers and models, including Henry Ford’s legendary Model F, International Harvester’s Farmall, the Waterloo Boy, John Deere, and many more •The use of hydraulics, the advent of diesel engines, the availability of four-wheel drive, and other technical breakthroughs •The introduction of new fuel sources as alternatives to gasoline •Specialized tractors for orchard work, high-acreage operations, carrying loads, cultivating, and other scenarios •The tractor industry’s major expansion following World War II •Modern-day tractors and an outlook on the future of farm machinery
