FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New

Publisher Description

This book covers the story of British tractors from the early years of the 20th century, through World War 2 to the present day. It was only really in the postwar years that the tractor became the universal symbol of farm equipment, and in this era that all of the famous manufacturing names in Britain could be seen in farms all over the country. Manufacturers include giants such as Ferguson and Fordson, which operated on a global scale although they did build tractors in the UK, to British manufacturers such as Morris or Massey, and other specialist companies. Some of these names still survive today and many thousands of historical vehicles are preserved and can be seen at shows, often in action or in agricultural competitions. The text is complemented with photographs of many of the tractor types built in Britain in these years, from the earliest days pre-war days to the more recent era. Although written by an expert this highly accessible and affordable title will appeal to both enthusiasts and those with a general interest in the subject.

Author Biography

Ben Phillips started restoring vintage tractors when he was 12 when his father bought a 1949 Ferguson TEA20. Together they stripped it down and repaired the seized engine with very little knowledge, but it was finished in a matter of months. When he left school aged 16 he bought a 1958 Series One Land Rover which he used for a year until it failed its MOT, then a few years later he stripped it down and gave it a complete re-build. Shortly after he restored his second tractor, a 1957 Massey Ferguson 35, which taught him everything from body to engine repairs. Today he is still based in a Worcestershire Village with a fully equipped workshop and concentrates on all areas of tractor restoration - sometimes to sell or mainly restorations for other people. He is also a regular contributor to Tractor magazine, and is well known to the vintage agricultural vehicle community.
