Pages of the book Les tracteurs de nos voisins (1930-1975) - Allemagne (1)

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.

Enzyklopädie Deutscher Traktoren - seit 1900

At the beginning of the 20th century, Germany was lagging behind countries like the USA in tractor development. Because the gas-guzzling tractors were unsuitable for German conditions, numerous tractor manufacturers were founded in Germany after the First World War.
The industry experienced a boom, particularly during the economic miracle, which even fed the smallest companies for a while.

With this encyclopedia, Wolfgang Gebhardt presents a complete new edition in which he describes all the large and small tractor companies that have contributed to the motorization of German agriculture since 1900.

Pferde in Landwirtschaft und Forst

Before tractors took over the heavy tasks in agriculture and forestry, draft animals were responsible for them. They had to use their strength especially when working the fields.
Often disparagingly referred to as farm horses, the cold-blooded animals were hard-working and frugal workhorses, without which the required harvest yields could hardly have been brought in.

Udo Bols shows and explains the important role that horses used to play in agriculture and forestry, in tilling the soil, sowing and harvesting, in transport, in the forest and in winter, how horses used to be cared for and fed and what tasks farriers and saddlers had.
An exciting documentary and at the same time a fascinating illustrated book.
