Modern Farm Machinery - With 151 Diagrams and Illustrations

By D N McHardy

"Modern Farm Machinery" is a detailed guide to the different types of farming machinery available at the start of the twenty-first century. With over one hundred and fifty diagrams and illustrations, this volume will appeal to those with an interest in the history and development of agricultural machinery, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "Mechanical Principles Employed in Farm Machinery", "Materials and Methods Used in the Construction of Farm Machinery", "The Plough", "Special Purpose Ploughs", "Drainage Machinery", "Cultivators, Barrows and Rollers", "Rotary Tillage", "Seeding Machinery", "Artificial Manure Distributors", "Boot Growing Machinery", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing "Modern Farm Machinery" now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on agricultural tools and machinery.
