5000 Horses
Replaced by
“Caterpillars”
- - - says Mr. Kratzer
The following letter is a typical
expresión of a farmer who has
changed from horse farming to
tractor farming. No one apprecia­
tes the freedon from caring for
farm horses quite so mush as the
man who is using his first tractor. .
Read his letter:
st. John. Wash.
April 23, 1936
Gentlemen:
I have replaced eleven horses with
my ‘'Caterpillar” TWENTY-TWO,
cut my farming cost at least one
half and am enjoying more leisure
than I ever thought possible op the
farm.
I get up three hours later, quit
work earlier, and still get more
work done.
The TWENTY-TWO seems to be
able to do most any job on the
ranch. I even brought home the
cows with it one night.
Yesterday, I spring-toothed ten
acres of alfalfa twice and then
harrowed it.
I’ve been plowing with a 3-bottom
16” John Deere plow which the
tractor handles easily in high gear
and on only 2-i gallons of fuel per
hour.
I would hate to farm again with
horses.
Yours vêry truly,
(signed) Vern Kratzer
Caterpillar
Never has the swing from horses
to “Caterpillar” Tractors been so
pronounced as in 1936. Once there
was reasonable doubt of the trac­
tor’s ability to lower costs. There
is no doubt today.
"Caterpillar” ‘Diesel Tractors and
gasoline tractors of advanced de­
sign have reduced costs to a point
where fanning with horses means
the definite sacrifice of profits.
