About this ebook
Best of British Tractors is a celebration of the pioneers and innovators of British farming machinery whose names have become synonymous with our most famous tractors: David Brown, Ferguson, Leyland, Marshall and Nuffield.
This colourful ebook charts the history of these British companies and the machines they have produced, tractors that are loved the world over for their quality and longevity.
Author Liam McCann profiles the greatest models from the likes of Allis-Chalmers, Ivel, JCB, Muir-Hill, Bristol and Saunderson. Each entry includes a brief history of each tractor and a box with all their specifications, helping us to understand what makes them so special.
Most of all, this affectionate tribute shows how these tractors have changed the landscape of British farming and become part of the fabric of country life.
