John Deere die Geschichte des größten Traktorherstellers der Welt

Gross angelegte, reich illustrierte Dokumentation über die weltgrösste Traktorenfirma und ihre Fahrzeuge.

John Deere die Geschichte des größten Traktorherstellers der Welt

Als John Deere, ein Schmied aus Vermont, im Jahr 1837 einen stählernen Pflug baute, ahnte niemand, was sich aus diesen Anfängen entwickeln würde. Heute nahezu 170 Jahre später, ist die Marke mit den berühmten grün-gelben Traktoren der weltgrößte Hesteller dieser Fahrzeuge und darüber hinaus Anbieter einer breit gefächerten Produktpalette landwirtschaftlicher Maschinen. Don Macmillan, anerkannter John-Deere-Experte und -Historiker, erzählt in diesem offiziell autorisiereten Werk die Geschichte des Unternehmens und stellt dabei die Traktoren, Kern- und Herzstück der Marke, in den Mittelpunkt. Zahlreiche Zeitzeugen, wie etwa Techniker und Konstrukteure, haben zu diesem umfangreich bebilderten Band neue, bislang noch nicht bekannte Fakten beigetragen - und auch die Übernahme der deutschen Lanz-Werken kommt nicht zu kurz.
