Description
The story of Leyland Tractors begins with the influential orange Nuffield tractor of 1948, which shaped the development of the brand. This period is followed by the blue tractors built in Bathgate, Scotland from 1969 to 1982, each featuring innovative designs and improvements such as quiet cabs and syncromesh gearing. The book explores the evolution of Leyland Tractors, including their sale to Marshall of Gainsborough and the eventual decline of the firm. It also delves into the legacy of these tractors, highlighting their enduring presence on farms and the restoration work done by collectors. With original modern photography and previously unseen material, this book provides a unique insight into the world of Leyland Tractors, celebrating their history and significance in the agricultural industry.
