Discover the fascinating history of the machinery, tools, and implements used on farms on a daily basis. C. H. Wendel documents farm machinery from manufacturers large and small, from the beginnings of the industry in the 1800's through the technological advances of the 1950's. The book covers everything from alfalfa bunchers to windrowers, including relatively minor items such as feed grinders and disk harrows.
Listings are organized alphabetically, and include an overview of the implement or tool and the most popular brands associated with it, as well as a brief historical summary explaining its intended uses. You get the full story about corn planters, corn pickers, and combines, with sections on farm engines, steam traction engines, trucks, tractors, farmhouse items and much more.
