Copy from heroes and generals update.

Before World War II a number of international tractor makers fought hard to be the dominant brand in both Europe and the Soviet Union. In the 1920s a number of brands fought hard to deliver tractors to Europe and the Soviet Union and Fordson, International Harvester, John Deere and others each delivered thousands of tractors. In 1924 a factory in Leningrad “Красный Путиловец” (Red Putilovets) started to produce a license version of a Fordson tractor called the “Фордзон-путиловец” (Fordson-Putilovets) but the local production was suffering from poor quality and in 1934 the factory started to produce a local version of the International Harvester “Farmall F-20”, under the name “Универсал” (Universal). These were made in different versions with the Universal-1 being the one we have chosen to include in the game. These tractors weren’t the most common, but they were well-liked and very robust and dependable, and a lot of tools became available for them. The production in Leningrad continued until 1940, when it was changed to producing T-34 tanks instead.
