Trattori agricoli - Francia: libri - storia

Histoire des batteuses de nos campagnes

Mietitrice, battitore, batteria: a seconda delle regioni, cambiava nome e i suoi servitori erano chiamati "i battitori". Le immagini scompaiono, ma i ricordi restano. Affrettiamoci, perché anche i narratori di ricordi spariranno a loro volta, e rimarranno solo alcune foto ingiallite e alcune macchine e documenti presso alcuni collezionisti o nei musei, o addirittura presso qualche appassionato!

Quest'opera offre una panoramica della storia dei diversi tipi di mietitrici in Francia, dalle prime macchine da trebbiatura del XVIII secolo agli anni del Trenta Gloriosi.

La nouvelle encyclopedie des tracteurs fabriqués en France

Questa nuova edizione a colori dell'enciclopedia dei trattori francesi ripercorre la storia delle macchine agricole, dalle origini ai giorni nostri. Pubblicata per la prima volta nel 1998, l'opera iniziale elencava più di 200 marche a partire da documenti pubblicitari e riviste specializzate, diventando un punto di riferimento per gli appassionati.

Da allora, l'interesse per le vecchie meccaniche ha permesso di scoprire numerose marche artigianali, spesso poco conosciute e mai pubblicizzate, preservate dai collezionisti in tutta la Francia. Questa edizione arricchita aggiunge più di cinquanta marche e numerose foto inedite, coprendo l'ingegnosità dei progettisti dalla fine del XIX secolo fino ad oggi.

L'opera presenta i grandi marchi francesi - Renault, Société française, Someca, Vendeuvre - così come costruttori stranieri stabiliti in Francia, come Austin, Massey-Harris, International Harvester, Minneapolis-Moline, Case, Ferguson o Massey-Ferguson. Molti marchi meno conosciuti come Patissier Énergic, MAP, Sabatier Le Pratique, Sift, Champion, Labourier, Saint-Chamond, Latil, Babiole, Eco o Maci sono trattati anch'essi.

Infine, il libro rende omaggio agli innumerevoli artigiani che hanno prodotto trattori, spesso in maniera effimera, per rispondere alle esigenze di un'agricoltura in costante evoluzione. Questa nuova opera offre un panorama completo di questo patrimonio meccanico unico, accessibile a tutti gli appassionati di trattori d'epoca.

Les tracteurs de nos voisins (1930-1975) - Allemagne

How did foreign tractors advance agriculture in France? This time, Bernard Gibert immerses us in documents that are still as unpublished as ever and will allow us to discover the technology of German machines.
More than 200 rare and informative brochures on what agriculture was like in France from the 1930s to the 1970s!

Pagine del libro "Les tracteurs de nos voisins (1930-1975) - Allemagne"

The most widely distributed German brands in France in the 1930s were Deutz, Fendt, Lanz and Hanomag. Known for being of good quality, these tractors were very popular. But from the beginning of the Second World War until a few years after the end of the war, they were banned from sale.
They were once again authorized for importation into France from 1950. Once again widely distributed, they experienced a boom among French farmers who were also able to discover models from Porsche or Allgaier. Apart from Deutz or Fendt, the other German brands have now disappeared.

Tracteurs oubliés de nos campagnes 1896-1918

Relive the history of these old tractors that were first powered by petroleum products and not steam.
Before 1914, these tractors were often called "petrol-powered automobile tractors". First, there were all the derivatives of the various earth-digging machines: the rotary plough, the pickaxe, the motor-plough, the self-propelled plough, the cultivator, etc. Then came other machines powered by cables: the winch tractor, the tractor-tow. Then came the automobile plough, the motor-plough, the automobile hoe, etc. And then the crumbler, the polycultor as well as the tracked tractor, the articulated tractor and the vineyard tractor.

At that time, tractors had as many different shapes and sizes as possible, many were mounted on three wheels. Some tractors looked like real monsters, others were very small. The main bases of mechanics were discovered at the beginning of the 20th century. The First World War having devastated the soils, the re-cultivation of abandoned lands or those located on the sites of combat favored the development of exploitation equipment.

Through a magnificent collection of more than 550 unpublished period photos, discover for the first time these fantastic machines and tractors mounted on iron wheels. Also discover the work of men, the main players in the development of machinery, who are not forgotten in this book either.

Travaux des champs, les quatre saisons

The 20th century saw a real revolution in the agricultural world with mechanization. In France, the latter only appeared after the First World War, following the massacre of peasants in the hell of Verdun, the Chemin des Dames or La Marne. However, it was not until the end of the 1950s that the last draft horses disappeared from our fields.
Since then, increasingly powerful, increasingly modern and increasingly comfortable machines, but also increasingly sophisticated and spectacular, have invaded our plains.

Through the four seasons, the ploughing and the harvesting, you will find there the image of a resolutely modern agricultural France, which has nevertheless retained all its beauty and romanticism.

L'aube du tracteur en France - catalogue complet de tous les tracteurs agricoles (1917)

In 1917, while the Great War was still devastating our countryside and France was still a country whose rural population used only human labor and animal traction, an extraordinary work appeared: the complete catalog of all agricultural tractors and automotive equipment allowing motorized cultivation: it was a vision of the future made accessible to all.
No fewer than 177 different machines were thus offered to farmers, who, once peace returned, would have to imagine their traditional activity differently.

Today, more than a century after its publication, this work of synthesis has lost none of its documentary interest and has taken on a historical value of its own. The enthusiast of agricultural machinery will discover the incredible diversity of tractors and agricultural machines already available at the time.

The majority of these are machines from across the Atlantic, with famous names (Case, International Harvester, Caterpillar, etc.) or lesser-known ones; British models are also present (Fowler, Aveling & Porter, etc.), while a few names from continental Europe stand out, such as our national Vierzon and the Lanz "across the way". This is truly the Dawn of the tractor in France. Where it all started.

Les tracteurs à chenilles à la conquête des fermes françaises 1915-1985 (Tome 2)

"After publishing a book on crawler tractors requested by many passionate collectors, I was surprised by the success of this first volume. It made me want to continue my research and I found unpublished documents allowing me to complete this first opus with rare models such as the Italian Oto or Landini semi-diesel, like the German Lanz or even the Americans (notably Caterpillar)."

"I also found some among French brands such as:
- the Vidal straddle tractor with tracks,
- the Vermorel and the bizarre Licorne,
- the first model from Renault dating from 1919, type GP,
- some models built until the beginning of the Second World War.

The tractors that I have selected in this 2nd volume were mainly used:
- in the vineyards for their maintenance and for breaking up the soil in preparation for planting the vines,
- in large-scale crops for plowing, subsoiling and stubble cultivation. "

Les tracteurs de nos voisins (1930-1975) - Grande-Bretagne, Amérique du Nord, Europe du Nord

How did foreign tractors advance agriculture in France? This time, Bernard Gibert immerses us in documents that are still as unpublished as ever that will allow us to discover the technology of English, American and Canadian machines.

More than 200 rare and informative brochures on what agriculture was like in France from the 1930s to the 1970s! American tractors with iron wheels can be found on French soil during and after the First World War.
However, the first tractors with pneumatic wheels arrived in the early 1930s and took off after the Marshall Plan. At the time, for the price of a horse, you could invest in the purchase of an American tractor. This also somewhat undermined the trade of French brands.

Pagine del libro "Les tracteurs de nos voisins (1930-1975) - Grande-Bretagne, Amérique du Nord, Europe du Nord"

Concerning tractors from Great Britain, if they had their own brands, such as Nuffield or David Brown, they were often American models built in English factories and imported into France.
Tractors from northern European countries had a reputation for being of excellent quality, especially those of the Volvo and Bolinders brands. Belgian models, little known in France, were often produced in small quantities. As a result, these tractors from northern Europe were often very expensive to buy.
Belgian tractors were not very widespread while Swedish brands were very well distributed. These tractors, from northern countries, are still known today under the Valtra brand.

Tracteurs

How can we think of the contemporary agricultural world without imagining a tractor, often brightly colored, boldly crossing a freshly plowed field... An evocation closely linked to our landscapes. Without a doubt, the tractor revolutionized the French rural world at the dawn of the 1950s, pushing the draft horse that then took on the work of the land towards the stable: it was the advent of the power of the mechanical horse.

This arrival quickly turned into a revolution: fewer arms, more worked surfaces, a race for increasing productivity. Initially small in size, imported from across the Atlantic, the machines gained in size and power, spearheading galloping mechanization; our industry then produced them in large numbers.

Those familiar with the rural world see again the Farmall from Mc Cormick-Deering, the "little grey" from Ferguson, the valiant Pony from Massey-Harris and the Renault D22 at work in the French countryside...
At the end of the 1970s, 95% of French farms were equipped with at least one tractor, marking a trend that is still strong today.
