The Machines That Built America: TRACTOR REVOLUTION
In the 1870s, harvesting crops is grueling, back-breaking work. Farmers must walk miles behind horse drawn plows to get food on American tables. But a group of dreamers – all of them rivals - has a vision that will change farming forever and create one of the world’s most iconic machines: the tractor. Their quest to corner the market – worth $75 billion today - produces some of the greatest innovations and most iconic brands of all time: Caterpillar®, John Deere®, and Ford®.
