Back cover copy

Here for the first time is the complete, illustrated history of John Deere's revolutionary New Generation tractors that set a new benchmark around the globe. In the 1960s and 1970s, Deere's tractors evolved dramatically from its small-yet-faithful two-cylinder "Johnny Popper" machines into large, powerful tractors with modern advances, ergonomics, muscular engines, and safety features that forever altered the whole industry; it was a period of the greatest changes since the 1920s. Deere christened these tractors the New Generation. "John Deere New Generation and Generation II Tractors: History, Models, Variations & Specifications 1960s-1970s" examines these Big Green machines in detail, with vivid, color photographs of restored tractors; archival images of ads, brochures, and tractors in action; and a thorough historical text that tells the story of this important chapter in the great John Deere legacy.
