Book Overview
The Farmall tractor is one of the most significant and popular farm tractors ever. From the early 1920s through to 1960, IHC was the dominant maker of tractors. In fact, in the peak of the the postwar boom, IHC was selling nearly a million Farmall tractors annually. That historic mark is still treasured by enthusiasts, and is second only to John Deere. In this quality paperback of Farmall: Eight Decades of Innovation, the history of the Farmall is traced from the first Farmall, developed in the early 1920s, through to the new Farmall compact tractors being produced by CNH in 2004 and beyond. The book combines a broad cultural history of the make with photos of restored machines, color and black and white archival photography, and sidebars profiling farmers who worked with Farmalls from the early days and on.

5 stars (and not because of my last name, McCormick)

This is one of the best books about the birth and development of Farmall. The writing touchs on the reasons why the company was able to grow but goes a bit light on the failure of the company. The name may still be used but it is not the same. Notice when there was no longer anyone at the head of the company named McCormick the company went down unable to plan ahead or to pull its own weight. The pictures couldn't be any better, if a machine is mentioned in the text then there was a great picture of said machine. This book would also make great gift for tractor lover.
