Tractores agrícolas: libros - historia y modelos (2/2)

Tracteurs du monde, de 1853 à nos jours

In a century and a half - a few seconds of human history - the tractor has established itself as a traction tool, like the automobile, the truck or the airplane in the field of transport. It is now part of our environment and no one is surprised anymore to encounter it on the road, in vineyards, construction sites, ports, green spaces, beaches and elsewhere.

Through a very rich iconography, this work presents a fresco of its evolution, from the age of steam to that of electronics, passing through the invention of the pneumatic and that of the diesel engine.
Six hundred photographs, including a large part of the period, illustrate the productions of dozens of manufacturers from Europe and the New World. Appendices trace the chronology of the series for some important brands and a complete index facilitates the reader's research.

Les tracteurs emblématiques

Before the First World War, farmers only had manual tools to work, hence the low yields. It took time to go from one field to another, and even longer to plow or mow the harvest.
In addition, the arduousness of working the land tired men and their families. Only the strength of animals could increase that of man.

The war of 14/18 hastened things and accelerated mechanical development. Tractors appeared in the countryside to facilitate work on farms. The great-grandfather or grandfather experienced this modernization, witnessing the appearance of red Mac Cormick tractors, SFV (Société française de Vierzon), green John Deere tractors, Massey-Fergusson...

This book is for all those who are passionate about the agricultural world and its history, but also for those who are interested in that of their family. Meet the "Little Grey" and discover the tractors manufactured by major automobile brands such as Porsche, Renault, Ford or Fiat.
Read their history, learn their characteristics and look at splendid photographs of each of them.

Traktoren: Die schönsten Modelle seit den 1920er Jahren

Since Hart-Parr first coined the term tractor in 1906, agricultural machinery has experienced enormous development. The boom began in the 1920s, when legendary companies such as Hanomag and Lanz followed the pioneer Fordson, who in 1917 shaped an entire generation of tractors like no other with his groundbreaking Fordson-F.

After the huge sales figures in the 1950s, the tractor market slowly became saturated at the beginning of the 1960s. Many of the smaller manufacturers had to give up or were bought up. Traditional brands such as Allgaier, Deutz, Eicher, Man, Hatz, Hanomag, Porsche, Güldner and Fahr are still known to many fans today, even though tractor production in these factories was discontinued long ago. Today, high-performance models such as those from Fendt or John Deere dominate the registration statistics.

Extensively illustrated, with informative text and detailed information on engine type, displacement, horsepower and construction time, this work is devoted to well-known and lesser-known models from eight decades of tractor history. Over 450 types from the areas of large and small tractors as well as articulated steering and all-wheel drive vehicles impressively document the variety of technology in the area of agricultural vehicles.

Tractor - Een geschiedenis

The farmer and his tractor. They form an inseparable duo. From 1904 until the Second World War, the agricultural sector was gradually seduced by the power of motorised horsepower. After 1945, the breakthrough was complete. The draught horse watches in the meadow.

Who are the most important tractor manufacturers? What were and are the advantages and disadvantages of using the tractor? What technical innovations made the machine so popular? Why do tractors often have a yellow, green or red colour? Is driving a tractor reserved for men, or do women also assert their rights? How much does a tractor cost and when does it need replacing? Why does every child have their own toy tractor?

Passion for tractors. That is the driving force for collectors of miniatures or real old-timers. The members of the tractor clubs cut straight furrows in the field.
New traditions such as the Christmas parades with tractors decorated with thousands of lights, and old customs such as the tractor blessings, are all expressions of that same love for the tractor.

Yves Segers, Femke Paulussen and Bert Woestenborghs are affiliated with the Catholic University of Leuven and the Centre for Agricultural History (CAG). They have gathered a team of enthusiastic authors around them who all have one thing in common: a passion for agricultural history.
