"Mr. Dahlstrom...has written a superb history of the tractor and this long-forgotten period of capitalism in U.S. agriculture. We now know the whole story of when farming, business and the free-market economy diverged, divided and conquered." —Wall Street Journal Discover the untold story of the “tractor wars,” the twenty-year period that introduced power farming—the most fundamental change in world agriculture in hundreds of years. Before John Deere, Ford, and International Harvester became icons of American business, they were competitors in a forgotten battle for the farm. From 1908-1928, against the backdrop of a world war and economic depression, these brands were engaged in a race to introduce the tractor and revolutionize farming. By the turn of the twentieth century, four million people had left rural America and moved to cities, leaving the nation’s farms shorthanded for the work of plowing, planting, cultivating, harvesting, and threshing. That’s why the introduction of the tractor is an innovation story as essential as man’s landing on the moon or the advent of the internet—after all, with the tractor, a shrinking farm population could still feed a growing world. But getting the tractor from the boardroom to the drafting table, then from factory and the farm, was a technological and competitive battle that until now, has never been fully told. A researcher, historian, and writer, Neil Dahlstrom has spent decades in the corporate archives at John Deere. In Tractor Wars, Dahlstrom offers an insider’s view of a story that entwines a myriad of brands and characters, stakes and plots: the Reverend Daniel Hartsough, a pastor turned tractor designer; Alexander Legge, the eventual president of International Harvester, a former cowboy who took on Henry Ford; William Butterworth and the oft-at-odds leadership team at John Deere that partnered with the enigmatic Ford but planned for his ultimate failure. With all the bitterness and drama of the race between Ford, Dodge, and General Motors, Tractor Wars is the untold story of industry stalwarts and disruptors, inventors, and administrators racing to invent modern agriculture—a power farming revolution that would usher in a whole new world.

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

Despite the fact that the farmer spends more on machinery than anything else except the land and despite the fact that he spends more on tractors than on any other machine, there are few books on the choice and operation of tractors to fit modern farming conditions. Most of this book is about farming and how to fit tractors to the individual situation. Those sections are completely unbiased and Case are happy to sponsor such a book in the wider interests of sensible, more productive and safer use of tractors and machinery. Where the Company's views are expressed it is clearly stated as such. This is mainly in the area of design detail and then only for the sake of being concise and brief. The first part of the book is concerned with relating the needs of the individual farm to specific details of tractor performance. Later chapters deal with policy on size, numbers and replacement. This section is a major development specifically about tractors. It is developed from the author's work Farm Mechanisationfor Prl!fitwhich deals with machinery in the wider sense. Later chapters of this book are related to profes sionalism in operation, maintenance and care.

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
