Vintage Farm Tractors:
With the advent of the internal combustion engine powered farm tractor at the turn of the last century, farm mechanisation began to take on a new meaning. The traditional methods of horse and steam power were labour intensive, laborious and costly.
Prior to the first World War several makers produced various tractors which basically combined a stationary engine mounted on a chassis to drive the wheels using a chain. While useful for powering thrashing machines and other devices using a belt pulley for drive these tractors were for the most part a novelty.
