Synopsis
No tractor has achieved a more iconic status than John Deere. It's simple, two-cylinder tractors proved just the reliable, dependable tool the early 20th century American farmer needed to take the great leap from farming with animals to mechanized farming. Although a late comer to the motorized farming industry, today's John Deere's two-cylinder tractors are the most sought after collector tractors in the world. When John Deere entered the multi-cylinder fray, it did so with the most advanced, groundbreaking machines ever built-the New Generation tractors. These tractors set the trends for all subsequent tractor development through the latter half of the 20th century. Today John Deere stands alone as the last of the great American independent ag manufacturers. Yet it is still going strong, still setting trends, and still building the icons of the future. John Deere is a gorgeously photographed, thoughtfully researched chronicle covering more than 150 years of Deere and Company innovation.
