The Nordic Tractor traces the history of tractor production in Sweden and Finland. The story goes back over 200 years to the 19th century when the industrial revolution was sweeping across Britain, and Sweden wanted to establish their own manufacturing powerhouses. This was an exciting and fast moving time for engineering and this book traces the ups, downs and eventual demise of some of the first manufacturers working to serve the particular needs of the agricultural and forestry industries in this densely forested and mountainous region. It then looks in depth at the companies who emerged from this, who learnt from their own and others' mistakes and built on the widespread technological advances of the time to build up names for themselves in Northern parts of Europe. Today, Valtra - now owned by AGCO - stands proudly as the last remaining agricultural tractor maker in Scandinavia, but The Nordic Tractor shows where their roots lie in the establishment and history of companies such as Bolinder, Munktells, Volvo and Valmet, who all stood out as being major players in the Nordic region. Including over 100 photos, many of which have been previously unpublished, this book will appeal to those with a specific interest in Nordic tractors, Nordic engineering and general Nordic history as well as the general tractor enthusiast.

Top quality low budget watch!
The one thing budget watch collectors should know is that this Casio model is the only watch under $25.00 that comes with a mineral glass screen and not that cheap Acrylic plastic screen that scratches easily. It's also a 200 meter WR watch which is about 2 football fields in depth if you love snorkel diving off the coast. The screen visibility of reading the time and other features is outstanding. It also has 4 time zones you can program in , 5 Alarms, count down timer and stop watch. You can set it for 12/24 hours time format. I always order the steel bracelet that comes off another model of this because it not only looks and feels like a top quality watch but also matches the steel bezel. Do not buy the negative display version because it's unreadable.

Casio's best yet!
Casio is by far the best digital watch company in the world but it just seems like this watch wins it all. The upcoming list is of reasons why I think this Casio watch is the best one you can buy. Reason One: The price is unbeatable! I have never seen such a great watch for the price of $13! And coming from Casio you know it won't be a rip off! There are plenty of other Casio watches that can do the same thing that this watch can do for a price twice as much! With a price like $13 nothing can go wrong and it won't be such a bummer is you don't like it overall. 5/5 Reason Two: The amount of things it can do. This watch is capable of doing world time in twenty different spots worldwide, you are able to bookmark your four most favorite spots (one of them being were you live), it has five different alarms with exceptional sound when it goes off, and it has a timer and stopwatch that can go to up to 24 hours. This watch was obviously built for a busy life style. 5/5 Reason Three: Its water proof and has ten year battery. This watch is water proof up to 200 meters under water so you definitely won't need to worry about your watch getting destroyed by water. Its ten year battery makes it so that you won't need to replace the battery for quite a long time. 5/5 To sum it up this watch is cheap but not cheaply made, has world time, five alarms, a stopwatch and timer, can go under water for 200 meters and has a ten year battery! This is worth the buy!

100% functional watch
Light is subpar , but a 100% functional. Digits size is fine (I am 60). Labels could be brighter, but Casio rarely does modifications to these models. My dad has the same model, now over 15 years.

Great watch.
Great watch, I mean it’s a Casio so that’s not exactly a hard sell but it looks great if this is your style of watch. I have “a few” watches and about 30 Casios this one is a fun design with a lot of functionality.
