Tractors

Although there has always been much interest in “classic” or vintage cars, vans, lorries, motorbikes, and bicycles, the awareness of old tractors took longer to evolve. However, when it did in the latter part of the 20th century, the interest was phenomenal and worldwide. 


How many have come to love these old tractors varies from those who flock to events including meets, reunions, and rallies, to those who remember a balmy summer as children camping in a farmer’s field and being allowed to sit on aging relics pretending to drive across the farmland wrapped up in a world of fantasy. What these people all have in common, is that they appreciate the character of these special old tractors and recognize the importance and nostalgia of the hulking ironmongery of a bygone era. 


This book looks at some of the key manufacturers around the world and is illustrated with superb archive photographs.
