Red Combines 1915-2015 The Authoritative Guide to International Harvester and Case IH Combines and Harvesting Equipment
The first axial flow combine transformed the industry and was hailed as the most significant piece of farm equipment built in the 20th century. The axial flow used advanced technology to process crops faster and more efficiently than anything else on the market. The axial flow started with research done by a rogue Swedish engineer in the 1950s, was continued in secret by a group of dedicated engineers from East Moline, Illinois, who did their work in a top-secret garage that only a select few were allowed to enter. The book tells the story of how extensive research and development allowed IH to build a new machine that took the market by storm. Done with dozens of interviews of engineers, salespeople, and customers, the book captures the behind the scenes drama and the cloak and dagger encounters with rival companies personnel and machines. The dramatic text is accompanied by more than 300 archival images, concept drawings, sketches, and new photography of the machines and men at work today.

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.
