Covering the whole history of David Brown tractors from 1939 to the
closure of the company in 1988, Jonathan Whitlam describes the models
developed at the factory in Huddersfield, Yorkshire, and how they
evolved over time. The author also covers the many innovative features
that were pioneered by David Brown, including hydraulic systems and
transmissions. From the early Type A tractor developed with Harry
Ferguson through the independently developed David Brown models,
including the Cropmaster, the 900 series and the Selectmatic range of
1965, through the 90 and 94 series, and also touching on other David
Brown inspired machinery, this book covers every aspect of David Brown
production. Including discussion of the mergers with the US Case company
and International Harvester before the ultimate demise of David Brown in
the face of a worldwide slump, this book is a concise but complete
account of what was a leading British tractor manufacturer.
