Description

Never before has such a detailed story been told of the machinery, tools, and implements used on farms on a daily basis. C. H. Wendel documents the machinery of manufacturing giants and those lesser known, from their beginnings in the 1800s through the farm machinery and equipment of the early 1950s?everything from alfalfa bunchers to windrowers, including relatively minor items such as feed grinders and disk harrows. Alphabetically organized, each entry includes an overview of the implement or tool and notable examples of associated brands. A brief historical summary accompanies each example with a description of its intended uses. Readers get the full story about corn planters, corn pickers, and the combines, with sections on farm engines, steam traction engines, trucks, tractors, wagons, vehicles, and numerous farmhouse items. Each chapter provides pricing guidelines as well. Plant the seeds of tradition with this fully illustrated, comprehensive encyclopedia. Read more

The book came in great shape and in a timely manner at a good price. Wendel is a great author but a lot of his books are out of print and you are lucky to get the like this.

    • Excellent reference book
Since I have a number of the items from this era, I was very interested to see if I could find more information on them. It was very pleased with this book. It has a lot of different classifications of farm implements and good descriptions. I wish that there would’ve been valuation on some of them. I find it very pleasant to just page through and look at the different things here. ... show more

This book is an absolute delight. Highly recommend it to anyone interested in antique farm equipment and implements. The book was a gift to an 88 year old friend that grew up in the era of the old equipment. He is very pleased with the book.

I purchased this book for my Father (who is a 75 year old retired farmer) as a gift. He loved it and has spent many hours reading this book. He has had me purchase 2 more copies and has given them as gfts. It was an excellent purchase and is a very enjoyable book.
