John Deere is one of the world's leading tractor companies and this
fascinating book brings together the full account of production in both
the United States and in Europe. Using modern photography and a largely
chronological account of tractor development, the author provides an
excellent overview of the evolution of John Deere tractors over the
decades. Starting with the early two-cylinder tractors developed in the
USA and moving through the creation of multi-cylinder engines after the
takeover of the Lanz business in Germany, the book covers the 40 and 50
series of the late 1980s and the innovations in the 1990s when John
Deere effectively re-invented the tractor with their full-frame designs.
Bringing the reader right up to date with the latest designs that
bristle with technological sophistication and covering the evolution of
John Deere tractor development, this book will be an essential read for
both John Deere enthusiasts and all those interested in the history of
tractors, old and new.
