Farm Machinery is the standard book on the current theory and
practice of farm mechanisation for students and farmers. First
published in 1979, this new sixth edition incorporates much new
text together with 280 new colour photographs illustrating the
steady flow of developments in farm mechanisation that have taken
place over the past decade. Recent advances in computer technology
and satellite field mapping are included and new content enriches
the earlier material dealing with the working principles and
operation of the vast array of the somewhat less sophisticated farm
tractors and machines still in use on British farms. There are
chapters on tractors, cultivation and drilling equipment, crop care
and harvest machinery. Further chapters deal with farmyard and
estate maintenance equipment, mechanical handlers, dairy equipment,
irrigation farm power and the farm workshop. References are made to
the UK Health & Safety at Work Act and other safety
regulations. These summarise their main requirements, but they
should only be taken as a guide. Brian Bell has had a long
involvement with farm machinery that started with an apprenticeship
in a tractor dealership. After a teaching career on farm machinery
at Otley College in Suffolk he retired as Vice Principal in 1993
when he was awarded the MBE for services to agriculture. Brian Bell
has written a number of books and made seventeen DVDs on modern and
vintage tractors and machinery.
