Summary
Details

Australia has some of the world's largest and most labour-efficient farms, and tractors are an essential part of their operations. In this historical overview Graeme Quick documents the development of the indigenous tractor industry, from the McDonald Imperial of 1909 to more recent cane, olive and grape harvesters. Histories of individual manufacturers include much technical detail, but the story also puts the industry in an economic and social history context.
