In Reply to: Thoughts while looking at old tractors posted by Bruce from Can. on August 09, 2018 at 04:02:54:

I helped a friend change out his exhibit at junkshow and because the battery was dead we just punched his BF Avery on the trailer by hand. He then commented on who would have bought this thing when it was new! I stated that you have to remember that not every farm was in the same situation. Say Ernest and Mildred had an 80 acre farm with chickens, some milk cows, a few pigs and 2 aging horses. Some pastured and some under plow. Now the kids have grown and old Daisy and Pete are long in the tooth. So Ernest goes to town where Elmer is making the pitch for the new modern BF Avery. It’s the tractor fitted for your farm. Bring your farming practice into the new decade without the expense of feed and vet bills and we’ll even throw in a free hand saw to cut the reach off your horse machinery.
The other thing is technology. The early tractors were crude and simple. (That’s why they still run) The teens and 20’s saw numerous manufacturers in the game. They all had different ideas. Look at the IHC friction drive. It got IH into the game in short order and they built a legacy. Conversely Hart-Parr was much more inclined to engineer, but had their trials as well shown by the vastly different designs they tried in the early years. Then there is the similarity crossing over in that many of these engineers of the short lived companies worked for different tractor companies and brought some like ideas with them or that a competitor picked up on good idea. Here is a leap, but Ford was tagged to a piece of junk built in Minneapolis shearly for market recognition. After that collapse I believe the designer moved on to Happy Farmer where he worked with people who previously worked for Bull. Ironically Bull turned into the Toro we know today.
