These farm tractors are true workhorses with impressive power, reliability, and driver comfort. Drivers fell in love with these tractor models, and many are continuing to work today even if they've since been discontinued.

Inside these 88 pages, author Chris Lockwood has chosen 41 examples to indicate the range of machines that are likely to be seen working in fields in everyday situations. He shows tractors carrying out a wide range of tasks and provides some basic technical specifications such as power outputs so you can roughly compare different tractors and have an idea of the size and capability of each.

Presented alphabetically, the tractors range from Case to Zetor, with several examples from each of the major manufacturers such as Challenger, John Deere, McCormick, and Massey Ferguson. Altogether, 25 marques are included.

Chris gives each tractor a full-page photograph, opposite which his text provides some technical details of the machines, as well as background about the company and the tractor range.
