Description
The story of International Harvester tractors is one of innovation and adaptation. From its North American roots in the early 20th century, the company developed machines that revolutionised farming practices. This comprehensive account covers the development of combustion-engine tractors, including the iconic Farmall model, which set a new benchmark in tractor design. The book also explores the impact of International Harvester on agriculture, from large-scale farming to smaller, more modest operations. The story is further enriched by the inclusion of colour photographs, providing a visual representation of these historic machines. The author's expertise shines through as he delves into European developments, including German designs in the 1980s and 1990s. With its rich selection of images and engaging narrative, this book offers a complete account of International Harvester tractors, covering both American and European models.
