Buy TRACTOR OF OUR CHILDHOOD

France was on its knees at the end of the Second World War, tractors and the mechanization offensive helped put it back on its feet!

While rurality was still very present in French society, it was necessary to leave the era of animal traction behind to move forward more quickly and more efficiently towards progress.

The tractor, the new "mechanical horse", will conquer its letters of nobility and establish itself more quickly than we would have thought in the fields of France.

This well-documented and illustrated work (photos, advertisements, illustrations) presents the "stars" of the legendary era of the 30 Glorieuses: French brands like the Renault D22, but also "little gray" from Ferguson, from across the Atlantic like the Massey-Fergusons in gleaming red!

This changing rural France, crisscrossed by valiant little puncture-proof tractors, now collected, relive it between these pages.
