Période

1940

Canada

THIS TYPE OF MACHINE WAS USED ON SMALL FARMS AS A TRACTOR REPLACEMENT AS THEY WERE CHEAPER TO BUY THAN A REAL TRACTOR.

Fonction

The tractor is a motorized vehicle used to pull and actuate other vehicles or implements that are not power-driven. Tractors are primarily designed for agricultural work: for cultivation, spraying, and harvesting operations. The first tractors, developed in the mid-nineteenth century, were steam-powered and were not very mobile: their main purpose was to power threshers and other equipment. The development of gas-engines in the late 19th century, and their integration into tractors, gave the machines more mobility and flexibility. Robert C. Williams writes in "Fordson, Farmall, and Poppin' Johnny: A history of the farm tractor and its impact on America" (1987) that "Of all the farm implements, the tractor has had the greatest impact on rural life...In one generation between 1920 and 1950, most farms in the United States changed from dependence on draft animals to dependence on mechanical power."

Technique

THESE MACHINES WERE AN ALTERNATE SOURCE OF POWER AS THEY WERE MADE FROM AN OLD CAR MOTOR & FRAME. AUTO-TRAC JUST MADE THE REAR WHEELS & DRIVE CHAINS PLUS THE PLANS OF CONSTRUCTION.
