Stepney: Axiom Publishing. Fine. 2011. First Edition. Paperback. 1864766476 . Australia has seen the importation of many tractor makes and models from manufacturers around the world, more particularly the USA and Europe. This has been brought about by economic circumstances which have made tractor manufacture in Australia difficult. This has not stopped the efforts of many in developing an 'Australian'product. Tribute must be paid to the likes of Jelbart, McDonald, Howard, Ronaldson Bros and Tippert and of course Chamberlain. In later years we have seen the development of 'big'tractors through names like James Nagorcka (Waltanna), Upton Brothers, Baldwin and Phillips (Acremaster) to name a few. By the 1950s tractors were more powerful, more efficient, more manoeuvrable and more comfortable than ever before. From 1950 until now (2010) innovation and changing technologies have continued to improve this ultimate farm tool.; 255 x 260mm; 130 pages .
