Landbouwtrekkers: boeken - historie en modellen (2/2)

Tractor - Een geschiedenis

De landbouwer en zijn tractor. Ze vormen een onafscheidelijke twee-eenheid. Van 1904 tot aan de Tweede Wereldoorlog laat de agrarische sector zich langzaamaan verleiden door de kracht van gemotoriseerde pk's. Na 1945 is de doorbraak totaal. Het trekpaard kijkt toe in de weide.

Wie zijn de belangrijkste tractorproducenten? Wat waren en zijn de voor- en nadelen van het gebruik van de tractor? Welke technische vernieuwingen maakten de machine zo populair? Waarom hebben tractoren vaak een gele, groene of rode kleur? Is rijden met de tractor voorbehouden aan de man, of laten vrouwen ook hun rechten gelden? Hoeveel kost een tractor en wanneer is hij aan vervanging toe? Waarom heeft elk kind zijn speelgoedtractor?

Passie voor tractoren. Dat is de drijfkracht voor verzamelaars van miniaturen of van echte oldtimers. De leden van de trekkersclubs snijden kaarsrechte voren in het veld.
Nieuwe tradities zoals de kerstmisoptochten met tractoren die versierd zijn met duizenden lampjes, én oude gewoonten zoals de tractorwijdingen, zijn evenzovele uitingen van diezelfde liefde voor de tractor.

Yves Segers, Femke Paulussen en Bert Woestenborghs zijn verbonden aan de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven en het Centrum Agrarische Geschiedenis (CAG). Ze verzamelden een ploeg enthousiaste auteurs rond zich die allemaal één ding gemeen hebben: een passie voor landbouwgeschiedenis.

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.

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.
