Product Information
Classic Farm Machinery Volume Two 1970-1995. Selected and scripted by Brian Bell narrated by Chris Opperman. This fascinating compilation of archive film featuring machinery that takes us up to 1995 follows on from the first volume in the series, which covered the years 1940 to 1970. It shows the continuing advance of farm mechanization from the 1970, in archive film from most of the well known manufacturers, illustrating the influence of new technology on the equipment for ploughing, cultivating, drilling, spraying and harvesting of crops. Original footage from the period shows the emergence of ever more powerful machinery with electronic controls, and footage from the 1995 "Power in Action" demonstration at Otley in Suffolk brings us up to date with the latest developments. Scripted and selected by Brian Bell, the author of Fifty Years of Farm Machinery and organizer of the "Power in Action" demonstrations, this captivating video takes us from the introduction of the compulsory safety cab to the air-conditioned, computerized tractor control centers of the 1990's. The video is narrated by Chris Opperman, who has for many years been broadcasting on farm topics in Suffolk. Running Time: 55 minutes. To order by phone call toll free 866-596-9982.
