True, but there has never been a tractor that got better with a little rest and there has never, ever been a tractor that produced another little tractor every year for 15 or more years.
Lets remember that selling points were just that- sales talk. True, horses did eat hay and grains off the farm, but the tractors fuel had to be bought with $$$ that was already tight. True, tractors were faster and didn't need to rest as often, but horses almost never get stuck, have flats or their points needing replacement. The argument goes both ways.
In the end, what the tractor did is keep a lot of horses from being abused by owners that weren't "horse wise". Any idiot can drive a tractor. The same idiot can abuse and kill a willing work horse.
There are some days I'd prefer the horses, others the tractor.
