By the end of the twentieth century there were some half-million
tractors on British farms - more machines than people to drive
them. 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. He deals in particular with
developments of the classic period from the 1950s to the 1990s. The
book is arranged alphabetically by manufacturer from Allis-Chalmers
to Zetor, one hundred marques in total. These are all machines to
be found on British farms irrespective of their country of
manufacture. 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. He includes a glossary and full index. This
book replaces the author's earlier, successful, Fifty Years of Farm
Tractors. Many of the photographs are new and the text has been
brought up to date to include developments of the early
twenty-first century.
