Children have very different interests, and what if they happen to be fascinated by agricultural vehicles? It is worth finding them activities that will be related to this interest.<br/><br/>Are you looking for a coloring book where your child can develop creativity, creating and coloring vehicles according to his own vision?<br/>Do you want it to include a variety of tractors?<br/>Are you looking for pictures suitable for little hands?

This coloring book is unique and will not disappoint your expectations and those of the little artist!<br/><br/>What will you find in this coloring book? Firstly, plenty of drawings depicting agricultural machinery, primarily tractors. There are many tractors here, and each of them is different. There are different models and types, created especially for little enthusiasts. That's a lot of possibilities and opportunities to have fun and enjoy creative coloring. Secondly, the pictures are tailored to toddlers. They are not complicated or too detailed, which, unfortunately, often happens in coloring books with vehicles for children. In this booklet, the pictures are large, have bold lines, and are simple, but at the same time remarkable. Unlike either overly detailed or overly simple and trite pictures, this coloring book offers unique yet simple drawings of a wide variety of agricultural machinery. Third, I know that this coloring book will be used by a great little artist who will color as beautifully as he can. Therefore, the pictures are printed on one page, so these works will look elegant and aesthetically pleasing. The book is large - so it is easy to use and looks great. The works of a small artist will look great in this form! This is precisely what every child deserves! Children's passions are a significant part of life. Most of them last a short time, they quickly pass away, and their place is taken by other interests. It also happens that they can survive for a very long time and become a lifelong hobby. Either way, each of these passions can draw in and engage to the maximum. If a child loves tractors, then everything related to them will interest him and occupy his time. A coloring book with tractors is a way to develop a child's passion, as well as practice basic skills and creativity. This coloring book can occupy a toddler completely, and provide a parent with a moment to himself.

Tractors From John Deere to Lamborghini

<p>Tractors provides a vivid pictorial exploration of tractors through the ages, beginning with John Froelich’s invention – produced locally by the Waterloo Gasoline Traction Engine Company – through the first mass-produced models, Henry Ford’s Fordson and the Massey-Ferguson MF35, up to the latest driverless tractor, the John Deere 8R 410, which allows farmers to plot exact paths using a GPS-configured app. In between the book shows many of the world’s best-known models in action, including the New Holland Agriculture, Fendt, Valtra and Lamborghini. The evolution of the tractor in the late 19th century with the development of the Froelich tractor in Iowa in 1892 revolutionized farming, providing farmers with the means to combine the power of the internal combustion engine with the latest farming methods. Farming was never the same again. In the 1940s, hydraulic systems were developed to make tractors more valuable and comfortable, adjustable seats and headlights were installed, and the modern tractor became a reality. Illustrated with 180 photographs, Tractors is a pictorial celebration of these essential machines through the ages.</p>

Tractors, Kalashnikovs and Green Tea My Life of Tractors and Travels

Ian M. Johnston is a historian, photographer, vintage car collector, and an internationally known expert on tractors. Johnston has lived the history of post-war farming and farm machinery in Australia, and he offers insights into part of Australia's post-World War II history that is rarely recorded or described so humorously. Having worked with the legendary Lanz tractor firm, he eventually formed his own agricultural machinery business, which allowed him the opportunity to travel abroad, visiting various countries, such as Japan and Romania. This delightful memoir offers amusing details of his travels involving tractors.

Tractor Wars John Deere, Henry Ford, International Harvester, and the Birth of Modern Agriculture

<b>"Mr. Dahlstrom...has written a superb history of the tractor and this long-forgotten period of capitalism in U.S. agriculture. We now know the whole story of when farming, business and the free-market economy diverged, divided and conquered." <br>—<i>Wall Street Journal</i><br><i> </i><br><br><br>Discover the untold story of the “tractor wars,” the twenty-year period that introduced power farming—the most fundamental change in world agriculture in hundreds of years.</b><br><br>Before John Deere, Ford, and International Harvester became icons of American business, they were competitors in a forgotten battle for the farm. From 1908-1928, against the backdrop of a world war and economic depression, these brands were engaged in a race to introduce the tractor and revolutionize farming. <br><br>By the turn of the twentieth century, four million people had left rural America and moved to cities, leaving the nation’s farms shorthanded for the work of plowing, planting, cultivating, harvesting, and threshing. That’s why the introduction of the tractor is an innovation story as essential as man’s landing on the moon or the advent of the internet—after all, with the tractor, a shrinking farm population could still feed a growing world. But getting the tractor from the boardroom to the drafting table, then from factory and the farm, was a technological and competitive battle that until now, has never been fully told.<br><br>A researcher, historian, and writer, Neil Dahlstrom has spent decades in the corporate archives at John Deere. In <i>Tractor Wars</i>, Dahlstrom offers an insider’s view of a story that entwines a myriad of brands and characters, stakes and plots: the Reverend Daniel Hartsough, a pastor turned tractor designer; Alexander Legge, the eventual president of International Harvester, a former cowboy who took on Henry Ford; William Butterworth and the oft-at-odds leadership team at John Deere that partnered with the enigmatic Ford but planned for his ultimate failure. <br><br>With all the bitterness and drama of the race between Ford, Dodge, and General Motors, <i>Tractor Wars</i> is the untold story of industry stalwarts and disruptors, inventors, and administrators racing to invent modern agriculture—a power farming revolution that would usher in a whole new world.
