The history of Deere's development of the farm tractor and its fight to be number one in the business is a fascinating tale - told here in complete detail through extensive research and interviews with the designers, engineers, dealers, and farms that made Deere famous.

Modeling of Repair and Maintenance Costs of 2WD Tractors in Iran Universal 650 - Massey Ferguson 285 - John Deere 3140 - John Deere 4955
Machinery ownership and operating costs represent substantial portion of total production expenses. Ownership costs include charges for depreciation, interest of investment, taxes, insurance and housing facilities. Operating costs include repair and maintenance (R&M), i.e. spare-parts, wages and lubricants. R&M costs of machinery are those expenditures necessary to restore or maintain technical soundness and reliability of the machine. Accurate prediction of R&M costs trends is critical to determine optimum economical life of machine and to make appropriate decisions for machinery replacements, and also for general farm management purposes. Since variation in R&M costs depends on site and time specifications, a general relationship can not be suggested. But prediction of these costs at an acceptable level can be made by fitting a regression model based on the previous data. Also, great variations in R&M costs between different tractor models, tractors and their operating conditions make it difficult to obtain meaningful generalized models. The scope of this book is to model accumulated R&M costs based on accumulated usage hours for some two wheel drive tractor models in Iran.

Family Friendly Farming A Multi-Generational Home-Based Business Testament
Saving the landscape, rebuilding entrepreneurial rural families, and protecting nutritious food are the themes of this timeless treatise-hence the word "testament." Delving into the soul of the Salatin family's nationally acclaimed Polyface Farm, author Joel Salatin offers <i>Family Friendly Farming</i> as the key to dealing with resource issues, food policy, and social fabric.<br><br>With humor and personal stories, he opens his family and farm convictions for all to see, share, and enjoy. Written from his unabashed "Christian libertarian environmentalist capitalist" perspective, his ideas are guaranteed to encourage and challenge virtually every "ism" in the culture. It will captivate anyone passionate about healing the land, healing families, and healing the food supply.<br><br>For several decades young people have been leaving the family farm. The ones left behind are now responsible for society's greatest resources: clean land and clean food. Anyone dedicated to preserving these resources will find in these pages a nongovernmental, self-empowerment approach to environmentalism and food safety.<br><br>The heart of this book is aimed toward parents tired of their Dilbert cubicle at the end of the expressway who want to reconnect with their children through a pastoral lifestyle. It's written for anyone who yearns to grow old working with and being adored by value-sharing grandchildren and honored by passionate, productive adult children. <i>Family Friendly Farming</i> can make any family business more viable and any family more functional.<br><br>The ten-chapter section on how to get the kids to love the farm is an invaluable addition to any collection of child-rearing manuals. Salatin moves from the family team-building section into a practical discussion on how to increase income per acre and create new, white-collar salaries without buying more land, equipment, or buildings. He deals with the unique and thorny issues surrounding any family business by using his own multi-generational family farm experience as his base for insight and wisdom.
