For thousands of years, the backbone of agriculture relied on the sweat and toil of human and animal labour. But with the dawn of the industrial era, a revolution was set in motion. Enter the steam engine, a marvel of engineering that would change the face of farming forever. Industrialists seized upon the potential of steam power, aiming to bring its might to the fields. The steam engine laid the groundwork for mechanisation, setting the stage for the next wave of agricultural innovation. The reaper and steel plow emerged as pioneers of this new era, sparking a fervor to mechanise agricultural processes. Companies sprang up, eager to capitalize on this growing trend. By the early 20th century, a flurry of experimentation ensued as hundreds of companies vied to revolutionise farming with powered vehicles. But amidst the chaos, a few giants emerged. By 1929, names like Deere, Ford, and International Harvester stood tall among the dwindling ranks of agricultural machinery companies. It was a pivotal moment, as the familiar form of the modern tractor began to take shape. Debra Reid noted the groundswell of interest in rural and agricultural America for a lightweight and dependable tractor. Neil Dahlstrom highlighted the transformative impact of the Bull tractor introduced in 19131914. Christian Overland emphasized Henry Ford's view of the tractor as an investment despite initial losses.
