Tractors. Part-One.

From farm work to mowing the grass.

The Tractor has made great strides and progress over the lat 120 years, from a farming machine to replace the horse to moving your garden lawn. The first machines were heavy and clumsy, but they were able to draw ploughs and were easier to be put to work than animals.

The tractor came into its fore in the great plains of North-America and the Soviet Russia in the production of cereal crops such as wheat, barley and maize. Later around the 1920's they were reduced in size for general farming duties and as engine technology improved became more versatile and easier to drive.

We associate Massey-Ferguson and Henry Ford with machines in the British isles, while Case, Caterpillar and John Deere with Europe and North-America.
