Redazione

The history of agricultural mechanization is closely linked to that of the tractor. However, the tractor was the result of an evolution that began in the very early 1700s when steam engines began to spread, units which for the industrialization of the Western World can be considered akin to the “Big Bang” that gave rise to the Universe. The first agricultural tractors produced in limited series appeared in the United States in 1892 but were called “gasoline traction engines” or “traction engines.” A few years later, at the beginning of…
