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.
