Les tracteurs de nos voisins (1930-1975) - Grande-Bretagne, Amérique du Nord, Europe du Nord
How did foreign tractors advance agriculture in France? This time, Bernard Gibert immerses us in documents that are still as unpublished as ever that will allow us to discover the technology of English, American and Canadian machines.
More than 200 rare and informative brochures on what agriculture was like in France from the 1930s to the 1970s! American tractors with iron wheels can be found on French soil during and after the First World War.
However, the first tractors with pneumatic wheels arrived in the early 1930s and took off after the Marshall Plan. At the time, for the price of a horse, you could invest in the purchase of an American tractor. This also somewhat undermined the trade of French brands.

Concerning tractors from Great Britain, if they had their own brands, such as Nuffield or David Brown, they were often American models built in English factories and imported into France.
Tractors from northern European countries had a reputation for being of excellent quality, especially those of the Volvo and Bolinders brands. Belgian models, little known in France, were often produced in small quantities. As a result, these tractors from northern Europe were often very expensive to buy.
Belgian tractors were not very widespread while Swedish brands were very well distributed. These tractors, from northern countries, are still known today under the Valtra brand.
