By the end of the twentieth century there were some half-million tractors on British farms - more machines than people to drive them. Brian Bell's encyclopaedic book traces the evolution of the farm tractor from the days of starting handle and pan seat to current 4-wheel drive machines with air-conditioned cabs and computer management systems. He deals in particular with developments of the classic period from the 1950s to the 1990s. The book is arranged alphabetically by manufacturer from Allis-Chalmers to Zetor, one hundred marques in total. These are all machines to be found on British farms irrespective of their country of manufacture. Brian runs concisely through the histories of the companies and their major models, illustrated with a wealth of photographs and extracts from sales literature. He adds some special features on items such as hydraulic systems and cold-starting aids. He includes a glossary and full index. This book replaces the author's earlier, successful, Fifty Years of Farm Tractors. Many of the photographs are new and the text has been brought up to date to include developments of the early twenty-first century.

Although there has always been much interest in “classic” or vintage cars, vans, lorries, motorbikes, and bicycles, the awareness of old tractors took longer to evolve. However, when it did in the latter part of the 20th century, the interest was phenomenal and worldwide. How many have come to love these old tractors varies from those who flock to events including meets, reunions, and rallies, to those who remember a balmy summer as children camping in a farmer’s field and being allowed to sit on aging relics pretending to drive across the farmland wrapped up in a world of fantasy. What these people all have in common, is that they appreciate the character of these special old tractors and recognize the importance and nostalgia of the hulking ironmongery of a bygone era. This book looks at some of the key manufacturers around the world and is illustrated with superb archive photographs.
