A book on agricultural tractors? Explore here illustrated books on the history, types and construction of agricultural tractors from Germany (2/2).
Deutschlands Landmaschinen
In this chronicle with around 500 illustrations, Joachim M. Köstnick provides an overview of the highlights from over a hundred years of agricultural machinery construction in Germany. Not only are the tractors, combine harvesters, diggers and harvesting machines, harvesters and farm loaders from Germany, Austria and Switzerland shown - the author also offers interesting insights into the technology and function of these indispensable machines.
He also traces the rapid technical development from the Bulldog to the modern high-tech machine with satellite-controlled navigation systems. Another focus is on special tractors for viticulture.

After the turn of the century, there was a boom in agricultural machinery construction in Germany: from ploughs to mowers, from harrows to milking machines - countless companies offered solutions for every conceivable purpose. When the market finally consolidated, only companies remained that occupied niche areas, were taken over by larger manufacturers or merged. With this volume, Klaus Dreyer and Marco Homrighausen present a comprehensive, complete encyclopedia of German agricultural machinery manufacturers who have made farmers' lives easier since the beginning of mechanization.
Eilschlepper und Strassenzugmaschinen - 1903-1956 (Typenkompass)
One advantage of road tractors is that they do not have to stand still for long periods of time because they do not have to wait for their load to be unloaded. Their counterpart in agriculture was so-called express tractors, which could drive along the roads at a higher speed than normal tractors to transport their load.
In this Typenkompass, Wolfgang Gebhardt presents the most important express tractors and road tractors in Germany since 1903: the historical arc is spanned from the first road tractor to the first Lanz traffic (express) bulldogs in 1923 to the year 1956, when the Unimog dominated the remaining market.
Geräteträger & Tragschlepper für die Landwirtschaft
As early as the mid-1930s, there were engineers who envisioned a truly multi-purpose machine that would make it possible to combine tractor and implement into one unit. The full mechanization of small and medium-sized farms in particular and the cultivation and maintenance work on the land of larger farms should be easier, faster and more intensive. This is how implement carriers and tractors were developed.
Michael Bach tells, explains and illustrates the history of this exciting era of agricultural technology and reviews it all: Primus Packesel, Fendt GT, Lanz Alldog, Gutbrod Farmax, Ruhrstahl Landmaschine, Unitrak, Eicher Kombi, Ritscher Multitrak, Wesseler Ackermeister and all the others.

Geräteträger & Tragschlepper für die Landwirtschaft
Ladewagen für die Landwirtschaft - Die 1960er bis 1980er Jahre
It has replaced the good old ladder wagon: the loading wagon, which was presented by its inventor Ernst Weichel in 1960 at the DLG exhibition in Cologne. During the 1960s, the loading wagon developed into an indispensable harvesting machine that significantly relieved the burden on people in agriculture.
Oliver Aust traces the history of the loading wagon from its invention to the 1980s using the main manufacturers: Mengele, Kemper, Bergmann, Eicher, Pöttinger, Strautmann, Bucher and Hagedorn. Technical data is presented as well as a wealth of illustrations and brochure extracts.

Ladewagen für die Landwirtschaft - Die 1960er bis 1980er Jahre
The tractor with the power take-off shaft became an irreplaceable helper in agriculture as a carrier of working equipment. Well-thought-out equipment systems from the early days up to the 1970s, which made soil cultivation and harvesting extremely easy, are explained here in terms of their functionality and illustrated in detail.
Landwirtschaftliche Fahrzeuge beim Gülle- und Mistfahren
Not only can you see them, you can also smell them, the manure spreaders and slurry vehicles that supply the fields with fertiliser before sowing and after harvesting. The author has observed and documented the highly technical systems at work. He shows three-axle wagons with two steered axles, hydraulically folding slurry distributors, 8 x 8 drives, electro-hydraulic spreading rate regulation and much more.
