International Harvester: libros - historia y modelos

International Harvester Tractors

Este libro cuenta la historia del desarrollo de International Harvester, desde sus orígenes en América del Norte a principios del siglo XX hasta su fusión con Case en 1985 y su compra por Fiat en 1999. Cubre la evolución de las primeras máquinas de combustión hasta los tractores modernos.

La historia de International Harvester está estrechamente ligada al desarrollo de la agricultura. Tractores grandes como los Titanes y Moguls fueron diseñados para la agricultura a gran escala, mientras que los modelos más pequeños estaban destinados a las granjas de menor tamaño. La introducción del tractor Farmall en 1920 marcó un hito importante, revolucionando el diseño de los tractores y contribuyendo a la mecanización de la agricultura en Estados Unidos.

Desde 1949, algunos tractores IH se fabricaron en Gran Bretaña. El libro resalta desarrollos clave en Europa, incluidos los diseños alemanes de los años 80 y 90 tras la fusión con Case.
Acompañado de una rica selección de fotografías a color, este libro ofrece una visión completa de los tractores IH tanto en América como en Europa.

Red 4WD Tractors 1957 - 2017 : High-Horsepower All-Wheel-Drive Tractors from International Harvester, Steiger, Case and Case IH

The story of the four-wheel-drive tractors built by Steiger, International Harvester, Case, and Case IH is told in dramatic fashion in this authoritative guide. Starting with the development of early four-wheel-drive systems at International Harvester, the book traces the evolution and design of some of the most powerful and capable tractors of the twentieth century.
With fresh detail on the 4300, 4100, Steiger-built IH tractors, and the 2+2 tractors including the Super 70 series, the book offers prototype drawings of several models - including the complete story of the never-before-published Magnum 2+2 - as well as inside stories and backroom drama that is a must for any enthusiast for farm history or tractors.

Learn the complete story of Steiger tractors, which were originally designed and built in the barn of John, Douglass, and Maurice Steiger located near Red Lake Falls, Minnesota. Containing interviews with more than 50 of the people who built Steiger from its humble origin to a world leader, the book traces the evolution of the lime green Steigers in engrossing detail.

The book also covers the J.I. Case 4WD line in great detail. In addition, the book tells the story of how each of these significant players in the industry combined under one banner and - together - created one of the current industry-leading technologies, the Quadtrac. The modern evolution of the Steigers and the introduction of the STX Series (and more) also receive in-depth coverage.

The International Harvester Company - A History of the Founding Families and Their Machines

Ancient farmers used draft animals for plowing but the heavy work of harvesting fell to the humans, using sickle and scythe. Change came in the mid-19th century when Cyrus Hall McCormick built the mechanical harvester.
Though the McCormicks used their wealth to establish art collections and universities, battle disease, and develop birth control, members of the family faced constant scrutiny and scandal.

This book recounts their story as well as the history of the International Harvester Company (IHC) - a merger of the McCormick and Deering companies and the world's leader in agricultural machinery in the 1900s.

IHC Traktoren - seit 1976 (Typenkompass)

Dieses Buch knüpft an den Typenkompass McCormick/ IHC von Alexander Oertle an. Darin beschreibt der Autor die Geschichte des multinationalen Unternehmens zwischen 1937 und 1975.

In diesem zweiten Teil erfährt der Leser das letzte Kapitel von IHC bis hin zur Übernahme durch den amerikanischen Mischkonzern Tenneco International Inc.
Es umfasst die vier als A-, B-, C- und D-Familien bezeichneten Baureihen und gibt einen Blick auf das Schlusskapitel unter der Flagge von Case-IH.

Längst sind diese robusten Schlepper in der Oldtimerszene angekommen, auch wenn viele IHC-Traktoren nach wie vor aktiv in der Landwirtschaft im Einsatz sind.
