rne x ukjjhujn xicauiua is inne resuic 01 extensive trials and experi
ments conducted by Mr. Henry Ford, covering a period of many years. Before
placing the tractor on the market, every detail has been thoroughly tried out
under actual fai-njing conditions in various parts of this country and abroad.
Experience has pojnted to the small, light tractor as being the one machine
which will fill all , varying conditions satisfactorily.
In developing the "FORDSON" Tractor, the aim has ben to produce a small
tractor which will beMow in first cost, reliable, and above all efficient.
Being small, light andVconomical, the "FORDSON" Tractor is adapted for use
on small farms, as well as on the largest. It will pull all farm implements and do
the work generally doneW horses on the farm. In addition, by its belt pulley
the tractor will drive fanji machinery such as a thresher, ensilage cutter saw
mill, etc., making the "FORDSON" a truly universal tractor. - '
PERFORMANCE The tractor Ls (losisiiod as a two-plow ma
chine and will pull two 14-inch plows in Hie stil'fcst soil. It will
maintain a drawbar pull of 1800 pounds at plowing speed. In low
year a drawbar pull of 2."00 pounds is obtained. The fuel con
sumption varies with conditions; two and one-half gallons "of
kerosene per acre being a fair average. The amount ()f cr-omul
plowed also depends on coiiditioi
