The Nordic Tractor : The History and Heritage of Volvo, Valmet and Valtra
This book explores the history of tractor production in Sweden and Finland, tracing its origins over 200 years ago when Sweden aimed to develop its own manufacturing industry during the industrial revolution.
It covers the rise and fall of early manufacturers who served the needs of agriculture and forestry in this rugged, forested region. It then examines the companies that emerged from this era, learning from past mistakes and technological advances to establish strong reputations in Northern Europe.
Today, Valtra - now part of AGCO - is the last remaining agricultural tractor manufacturer in Scandinavia. "The Nordic Tractor" reveals its roots in historic companies such as Bolinder, Munktells, Volvo, and Valmet, which played key roles in the region's tractor industry.
With over 100 photos, many previously unpublished, this book will interest those passionate about Nordic tractors, engineering, and history, as well as general tractor enthusiasts.
