Free Downloads Legendary Farm Tractors: A Photographic History
If you’re a tractor enthusiast with a passion for tractor photography, Legendary Farm Tractors is a dream-come-true pictorial produced with you in mind. Containing more color photographs of more types of farm tractors than any other book in print, Legendary Farm Tractors presents tractors from the United States, Canada, Europe, and Japan—models from the 1880s to today—along with detailed captions, together offering a comprehensive photographic history of tractors. Organized alphabetically by make so that readers can find their favorites easily, the tractors covered here include everything from familiar manufacturers like John Deere, Ford, Farmall, Case, Caterpillar, and International Harvester to obscure tractors that have seldom been seen, such as the special streamlined Porsche coffee plantation tractor that looks more like a sports car than a piece of farm equipment. The extensive variety and distinguished photographs by noted photographer Andrew Morland make this an exceptional book for tractor buffs and the perfect gift book for any machine enthusiast.

I bought this book for a friend of mine, all I heard about for the next two weeks was tractors! There are lots of nice photographs, many which include a bit of background from the region they came from. This is especially nice because you get a feel of where the tractors originated. The book is now traveling through our group of friends, and is a big hit with everyone. For my taste there could be slightly more indepth descriptions, but for photos it's perfect!
Was okay. Gave it to the grandson who is tractor crazy at 3 years old. Problems? Since the author helped with other books that were more North American centered, it seems that this book is all his photos left over that weren't used in those books. Perhaps 4 or 5 pages at most on tractors from NA. All the other pages are from around the world. Don't get me wrong. I like any and all of 'em, but I didn't feel like the treatment was balanced. Not fun when all but a very few of the tractors are ones that I never see around me! There is absolutely no order to the tractors shown. Not by date, manufacturer, topic (except on a couple of pages), or anything else. Another problem: this specifically says FARM tractors, but there were too many pages on clearly non-farm tractors. Also, this book has the same problem that a lot of these photo books have -- printing photos over the gutter. How can someone see what a tractor is like if part of it is on this page and another part on that page, with some missing in the middle? In every case the picture could have easily been shrunk a bit to fit on one page or the other.
This was a Christmas gift for my husband. Lots of big pictures and not much reading............his perfect idea of what a book should be. If you are a "casual" tractor enthusiast as he is, you will enjoy this.
My grandfather, a 94 year old farmer, loved this book. I gave it to him for Christmas and he spent the entire day looking at it and ignoring our family. It made him really happy and it was fun to watch him read it over and over!
bought as a gift for dad. full of fascinating photos of different models of tractor. Dad loves it and enjoyed showing the pictures to us and telling us about similar tractors that he saw growing up.
This book has lots of pictures which is what I wanted. So for us this book was exactly what we needed.
Bought as a gift for an 11 year old boy. He's a farm kid and loves all things farm and tractor related. This was a great book! Lots of pictures and short enough paragraphs and snippets to keep a boy interested.
This book has alot of great pictures of all type of tractors. My sons really enjoyed. Highly recommend
