Tractors vs. Mules

Posted by IH230 on February 21, 2004 at 14:10:07 from (67.64.215.13):

Lets talk about tractors. I suppose based on the political postings that if dear old Great Granddad had stuck with a single mule and 40 acres and all his generation had done likewise the world would be a better place today. (Would this forum be the "Mule board"?) Or if dear old Granddad had bought a second F-14 and hired another hand, rather than that Farmall H the world would be a better place. Or, if dear old Dad had bought a second 706 and hired another hand and so on and so on.

Why did our our forefathers buy bigger iron? To increase productivity and drive down costs.

They made decisions not unlike the businesses of today (whether big or small). And, those decisions effected the folks who bred, raised and trained mules, made harnesses, made steel wheels, and so on and so on.
