Description: Author Randy Leffingwell traveled more than 12,000 miles across America`s heartland to document and photograph this "inside story" of John Deere`s history. Along with exquisite photos of rare tractors, he came upon decades of personal diaries by Deere`s chief engineers, giving a rare glimpse into their passion to make life easier for farmers.
This is the softcover edition of Leffingwell`s officially licensed book that is unlike any ever published about this company who "does it right."
When John Deere entered the multi-cylinder fray, it did so with the most advanced, groundbreaking machines ever built - the New Generation tractors. These tractors set the trends for all subsequent tractor development through the latter half of the 20th century. Today John Deere stands alone as the last of the great American independent agricultural machinery manufacturers.
