Описание книги

After the first tractors appeared on the scene in the late 1890s, it took another two decades and plenty of modifications for farmers to embrace this once-crude technology in favor of the steam engine, further advancing the power-farming revolution. Written by an international expert in agricultural machinery, Farm Tractors takes readers back to the nineteenth century to look at the precursors to modern tractors and travels through the years to follow the machine’s evolution as tractors became indispensable equipment on farms across America.INSIDE FARM TRACTORS:•How steam-powered machinery gave way to tractors, and how tractors changed the way that farmers worked•Prominent early manufacturers and models, including Henry Ford’s legendary Model F, International Harvester’s Farmall, the Waterloo Boy, John Deere, and many more•The use of hydraulics, the advent of diesel engines, the availability of four-wheel drive, and other technical breakthroughs•The introduction of new fuel sources as alternatives to gasoline•Specialized tractors for orchard work, high-acreage operations, carrying loads, cultivating, and other scenarios•The tractor industry’s major expansion following World War II•Modern-day tractors and an outlook on the future of farm machinery

Huber Enters the Market

The Van Duzen company, manufacturer of the engine for John Froelich’s first tractor, designed and patented a tractor of its own in 1898. It was, of course, powered by one of its own single-cylinder vertical gasoline engines and, like the Froelich tractor, it featured a gravity feed to deliver gasoline from a holding tank high above the engine. Later in the same year, the Huber Manufacturing Co. based in Marion, Ohio, made a successful takeover bid for Van Duzen and its engine and tractor interests. This brought Huber into the tractor market for the first time, and it is reported to have built a batch of 30 tractors based on the Van Duzen design. If this figure is correct, it probably makes Huber the world’s biggest tractor manufacturer in the period before 1900.
