Allan: In the 40 years that Farmall A, SA, SA1, 100, 130 and 140 were built, close to a 1/2 million were sold. someone must have found other uses than pulling a small drag. I know on our own farm we certainly did. Had a 7' semi-mount mower that would bolt up to either 130 or 300. Why do you suppose we always mowed with 130. We farmed in a country were 7' swath was all a baler could comfortably handle, even sparce second cuts two 7' swathes. In hay like that those little offsets were king on a rake. As I recall we found lot of other jobs for 130 around the farm as it was always on the go. How about tobacco and small truck garden farmers, probably the single biggest users of offset tractors. Could these guys all have been wrong? I think not, some of them had some quite decent equity when they died. I'll grant you they may not have been much of a tractor in Nebraska. You've just led a sheltered existance, you seem to have the opinion if it didn't happen in Nebraska, it just didn't happen. Well Allan there have been a vast majority of North American farmers lived outside Nebraska. Oh, by the way, I'll up the chalange on pulling the drag. If I can find a well musseled team of horses, I'll take on your 966 on highest percentage of each team and tractor, pulling in relation to their own weight.
