Mechanised Farming - A Complete Handbook For The Modern Farmer by James Turner

This text constitutes a complete manual for the farmer, concentrating on the topic of the mechanisation of the farming process. It covers a wide field in a practical manner, and explains in simple language the intricacies and functions of the many types of agricultural machinery, including the internal combustion engine. Although old, much of the information contained herein will still be of much value to the farmer, making this text a worthy addition to collections of farming literature. The chapters of this book include: 'Why Mechanise a Farm?', 'The Internal Combustion Engine', 'The Transmission System', 'The Right Tractor for the Job', 'Horticultural Cultivations', 'Spraying', 'The Tractor at Work Ploughing', 'The Tractor at Work Row-Crop Cultivation', 'The Tractor at Work Implement Operation', 'The Power Lift and its Implements', etcetera. We are proud to republish this vintage text, complete with a new introduction on farming.

At the University of Notre Dame, James Turner is the Cavanaugh Professor of Humanities and Professor of History. He is also the author, coauthor, or editor of seven additional publications, including Charles Eliot Norton's Liberal Education and The Holy and Secular University.
