The NILSON docs the same work as a machine of twice its weight and wastes
no power hauling unnecessary weight.
NILSON TRACTORS weigh less per drawbar horse-power.
NILSON TRACTORS give wider and better contact surface between driving
wheels and ground than any other tractors of the same power.
NILSON TRACTORS, therefore, can be used for Spring work, where other
tractors fail because of their excessive v eight and lack of grip on the ground.
To have diHCovcrcd a way to reduce the wcijrht one-half or more in building a
tractor without decreasing the traction and sfro of the lond it will pull is the big
gest thing thnt hns happened since tractors were invented.
