All the greats—John Deere, Caterpillar, Ferguson, Massey, International Harvester, and many more—are covered in this essential reference. Hundreds of nostalgic and specially commissioned color photographs show complete tractors and fascinating details on virtually every tractor built, from the classics of the turn of the 20th century to historical oddities.
