Summary

Garden tractors have come a long way. And as anyone who has acquired a few acres knows, these are the machines that do the yeoman's work, the tilling and mowing and pulling and plowing that makes a small farm or a vast garden grow. This illustrated history features the brands that help landowners everywhere-Cub Cadets, John Deeres, Simplicitys, Fords, Ariens, Kubotas, and more. With current and vintage images, the book is a wonderful testament to what makes land productive, furrow by furrow.
