Starting with the turn-of-the-century visionaries who saw that four wheels and a motor could replace for the horse, the book moves swiftly through key early developments to cover the power farming movement of the latter part of the 20th century- a time when major manufacturers lagged and independent builders and farmers began creating their own machines with a pencil drawing and a welder. The book includes key moments of tractor history."--book jacket 505 0 $a Introduction: The machines that changed the world -- Prologue: The harshest proving ground -- The first tractors (1889-1906)-- The Prairie tractor era (1907-1916) -- The small tractor emerges (1917-1928) -- The rise of style (1929-1944) -- The post-war boom (1945-1953) -- Hungry for power (1954-1959) -- The space age (1960-1969) -- The dawn of power farming (1970-1979) -- Only the strong will survive (1980-1989) -- The rebound (1990-1999) -- The twenty-first century (2000-present) -- Epilogue: The future of the tractor. 650 0 $a Tractors $x History. 650 0 $a Farm tractors $x History. 650 0 $a Machinery $x History. 941 $a 7 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710044043.0 952 $l AJPE887 $d 20240109010100.0 952 $l VCPD034 $d 20200528063325.0 952 $l CIPB482 $d 20191115100213.0 952 $l W7PA017 $d 20191031022936.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20190808010046.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190425021908.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B38BD568672111E9A331792097128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
