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.
