Britains - long established as soldier and farm model makers - launched their first model tractor, the Fordson Major, in 1948. From then until 1998, when production was transferred to China, the company produced 58 different tractors from 24 manufacturers. The total number of variations in the models was 230.
David Pullen has collected many of the models and has photographed the whole range to show in each case different angles and original packaging. In this first comprehensive book for collectors he describes concisely the main features of each variant, taking them one at a time, by marque. He also includes a long section that shows the development of Britains tractor models as well as Appendices classifying them by tractor type and issue date.
