Farm and Garden Tractors How to Buy, Run, Repair and Take Care of Them

Excerpt from Farm and Garden Tractors: How to Buy, Run, Repair and Take Care of Them<br><br>The problem of farming to-day is how to raise bigger crops per acre and at the same time reduce the number of men and lower the cost of production.<br><br>The answer to the problem is to use (1) the proper fertilization methods, and (2) the right kind of farm machinery. Of the latter the tractor is by all odds the most important factor in securing the desired results.<br><br>It is not enough however to simply buy a tractor and put it to work in the field. The size of your farm as well as your bank account will determine very largely the size of the tractor you want. And having determined the size you must be exceedingly careful of the kind of a tractor you buy and having bought it of the way it is used and looked after.<br><br>While the day of the gas pipe and cast iron tractor is past still the design and construction of tractors is not at all fixed, or standardized as it is called, and to make a tractor of any size pay on a farm of any kind it must be designed right and then built right. When you have bought such a tractor the next thing to do is to get tillage and cultivating implements and harvesting machinery that are made especially for tractor work.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

FARM AND GARDEN TRACTORS; HOW TO BUY, RUN, REPAIR AND TAKE CARE OF THEM

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ...(1) a 7-inch plow, (2) a 6-inch harrow, or an 8-blade, 12inch disk harrow, (3) sweeps, (4) disks, (5) a knife weeder, (6) disk hoes, (7) diamond pointed shovel, (8) a corn shovel, (9) a spring tooth for cultivating, (10) beet hoes, (11) a bull tongue, (12) an onion digger, etc., and all of which are shown at A and B in Fig. jo. Any ordinary one-horse plow can be used by taking off the handles and clevis and hitching it to the tool frame of the tractor. When the plow is hitched up right it will give not only the depth and width you want but when it is properly adjusted the tractor will hold to the furrow and you have only to follow along until you come to a corner and then turn it. To take the plow from the ground you simply lift up on the handles of the tractor and this raises the point of the plow when it quickly comes to the surface; a latch catches and holds the plow up and it will then slide on its heel along the ground. When you want to plow again all you have to do to start the point into the ground is to pull up a small trip chain which is fastened to the spring latch and this brings it at an angle so that it will dig in and it will go in to whatever depth you adjust it for. The speed of the tractor when plowing is from % to 2Y2 miles per hour depending on the soil and it only takes about 2 gallons of gasoline to plow right along for 10 hours. The Power Take Off.--The Beeman tractor will do anything in the way of belt work that any four horse power engine will do and, different from a stationary engine, it will do it anywhere. With the power take off you can run a feed grinder, pump-jack, washing machine, milking machine, cream separator, fanning mill, onion topper, feed cutter, circular saw, corn shelter, grindstone, emery wheel, and even...
