5 stars (and not because of my last name, McCormick)

This is one of the best books about the birth and development of Farmall. The writing touchs on the reasons why the company was able to grow but goes a bit light on the failure of the company. The name may still be used but it is not the same. Notice when there was no longer anyone at the head of the company named McCormick the company went down unable to plan ahead or to pull its own weight. The pictures couldn't be any better, if a machine is mentioned in the text then there was a great picture of said machine. This book would also make great gift for tractor lover.
