Download or read book Tractor Experience in Illinois written by Arnold Phipps Yerkes and published by . This book was released on 1918 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The gas tractor as a farm machine has already proved very valuable under many conditions, though it is still in process of development, and types change from year to year. As the tractor has not yet assumed a fixed place in general farm practice, the prospective purchaser may have difficulty in determining whether his conditions justify the expenditure, and if so what size of machine he should buy. The experience of more than 600 Illinois tractor owners, set forth in this bulletin, should help the corn-belt farmer in obtaining answers to his questions regarding advantages and disadvantages of the tractor, size of machine required, original cost, cost of operating, length of life, kind, quantity and quality of work performed, and other vital questions." -- p. 2

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the first tractors appeared on the scene in the late 1890s, it took another two decades and plenty of modifications for farmers to embrace this once-crude technology in favor of the steam engine, further advancing the power-farming revolution.

Download or read book Barns Styles Structures written by Michael Karl Witzel and published by . This book was released on with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until Jamestown was established, nothing in North America grew taller than the native forests, grasses, and mountains. Beginning in 1620, the settlers who plowed the indigenous sod also dotted the virgin landscapes with towering, stately structures, the likes of which had never before been seen on the continent. This photo/essay treatment of barns in America is arranged by the five distinct roof styles that have largely come to define American barns, presenting six 20-page spreads detailing the Dutch, bank, crib, round, and prairie styles. The result captures the pastiche of rural America through stunning photography, conveying everything from stone barns in hard-scrabble Maine to thoroughbred barns in the lush bluegrass regions, to traditional Gambrel-roofed red barns in the Midwest. Regions represented include New England, the Southeast, the mid-South, the Midwest, the Pacific Northwest, the desert Southwest, and California. There is an in depth examination of how styles developed out of necessity and anecdotes from those who work and live on farms.

Download or read book Overturn Countermeasures for Vehicles written by Melvin L Myers and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2022-01-17 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the century-long emergence and battle to protect drivers and occupants of off-road and on-road vehicles from crush-related injuries from rollovers. Deaths and serious injuries have been associated with vehicle overturns that involve tractors, other motorized machinery, automobiles, and small vehicles. It took more than a century to attend to much of this epidemic of death and disabling injury that resulted from these overturns. This book argues that a key factor in this response was epidemiology that reported rollover-related deaths and engineering revisionism that moved responses from “blame the victim” to rollbars to prevent the deaths.
