Until the reign of Queen Anne oxen were widely used for ploughing,
and most other jobs on the farm, such as harvesting, were done
manually by farm labourers. But at the beginning of the eighteenth
century the Agricultural Revolution began. Oxen were displaced by
horses for ploughing and the famous heavy breeds of Shires,
Clydesdales and Suffolks developed. Horses were more versatile than
oxen and came to be used for many tasks other than ploughing.
Following the Industrial Revolution the ingenuity of Victorian
manufacturers produced an enormous range of horse-drawn
agricultural machinery - not just ploughs, but grubbers,
cultivators, harrows, rollers, drills, reapers, binders, root
lifters, manure spreaders, rakes and many other types - which
continued in use until the tractor replaced the horse from the
1930s. In this book the author describes these machines and
includes drawings of many of them, as well as photographs.
