Chris has tried to show the tractors carrying out a wide range of tasks. His concise text explains what is going on in the pictures. He includes some basic technical specifications such as power outputs so that the reader can roughly compare different tractors and have an idea of the size and capability of each. The 41 tractors chosen come from 25 marques. Many of the tractor manufacturers have parent companies, some of which own a number of tractor makers. Chris gives these details as well as the country of assembly and/or manufacture. Tractor enthusiasts will enjoy this book, but it is particularly designed to be an introduction for visitors to rural shows, farm parks and country bookshops.

The photographs are all from my own collection (www.midsuffolkagriphotos.co.uk). I have gathered the specifications and information from the manufacturers’ own sales literature and websites.

All information and technical specifications are taken from manufacturers’ own sales literature and websites, given in good faith and should only be used as a guide. The author cannot be held responsible for any errors.
Horsepower figures are given, wherever possible, as rated engine power, although other measurements may be used occasionally.
My aim in this book is to show popular tractor makes and models which are likely to be seen working in fields in every day situations.
In general I have featured modern tractors, and have shown more than one model from the most widely seen makes.
I have also tried to show the tractors carrying out a wide range of tasks, to give a broad perspective of what can be seen going on in fields today.
Many tractor manufacturers are owned by parent companies, some of which own a number of tractor makers. Due to this shared ownership, tractors have many features and components in common.
I thought it would be interesting to include the parent companies of each make to show who owns whom.
