The complete illustrated history from tractors and machinery to Deere's role in farm life, 1837 to today.

This book celebrates an icon of American agriculture and industry with more than 400 pictures of legendary John Deere machines from one of world’s most famous tractor photographers.

In the 1960s and 1970s, John Deere’s tractors evolved dramatically from small machines into large, powerful tractors with modern advances and muscular engines; it was a period of the greatest changes since the 1920s. Deere christened these tractors the New Generation. This book in the Tractor Legacy series examines these Big Green machines in detail, with archival and current photography of restored tractors, a thorough historical text, and details of model specifications and variations.

A month-by-month celebration of great John Deere farm tractors to thrill all Big Green fans, including early two-cylinder Johnny Poppers, the big Model G, the little Model L, Hi-Crops, Orchard models and 1960s and 1970s classics.
