Compared to a mule, it probably looked good!

After WWII my dad and grandfather went into tractor farming with 2 AC B tractors,all they used until 1957 when my dad bought a WD45.They bought enough land to double the size of the farm using those two B tractors.I have a CA I use regularly.

In 2015 my neighbor passed away at 97 years old ,he farmed 74 acres that his dad bought in 1927, I can't recall what year his dad passed away but farmed that 74 acres with two horses , after his passing my neighbor bought a Allis B and did all the field work with that tractor, later trading it in on a Massey 35 and then traded that for a Massey 135 , bought another 20 acres of muck for corn / Farmed 94 acres total of corn, grapes, asparagus and hay with that 135 for many years.

A week before his passing he left the 135 and equipment to me.

Exactly - compared to a mule. . .

My wife's grandfather farmed into the 1960's and never owned an internal combustion engine.

You just do not understand how we got here that beat horses by a mile and when a days work was at least 12hrs long.

In the mid 50's dad farmed with 3 JD A
Early 60's dad bought a new Ford 6000.
That was the most horsepower we had.
Got out of farming in 67, the year I went to college.
