Tractor Experience in Illinois by Arnold Phipps Yerkes Pdf
"The gas tractor as a farm machine has already proved very valuable under many conditions, though it is still in process of development, and types change from year to year. As the tractor has not yet assumed a fixed place in general farm practice, the prospective purchaser may have difficulty in determining whether his conditions justify the expenditure, and if so what size of machine he should buy. The experience of more than 600 Illinois tractor owners, set forth in this bulletin, should help the corn-belt farmer in obtaining answers to his questions regarding advantages and disadvantages of the tractor, size of machine required, original cost, cost of operating, length of life, kind, quantity and quality of work performed, and other vital questions." -- p. 2
