• Popular tractors from the '60s to the '80s
• Description and full-page photo of each tractor
• Countries of manufacture

Many popular tractors from the late 1960s to 1980s have become classics on Britain's farms. This period saw a huge rise in the power and comfort of tractors, paving the way for today's high-tech farm machinery.

In the mid-1960s the classic period of tractor production arrived with ranges such as Ford's 1000 series and the Massey Ferguson 135. Tractors were now true workhorses with more power, more reliability, and greater driver comfort. Their drivers fell in love with them and many are continuing to work today.

Inside this updated second edition, author Chris Lockwood has chosen 41 examples to indicate the range of machines that can be called classics. They are all in their working clothes! Alphabetically, they range from Belarus to Zetor, with several examples from each of the major manufacturers such as Case, International, and John Deere. Altogether, some 26 famous names are included.

Chris gives each tractor a full-page photograph, opposite which his text provides some technical details of the machines, as well as background about the company and the tractor range. This is ideal for novice enthusiasts who will learn something about David Brown, Doe, Leyland, and County, as well as more exotic marques such as Same and Steiger.

This compact 88-page guide is the perfect gift for farmers, farm equipment enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to Know Your Classic Tractors!
