My dad bought a new WC in April of 1936. Paid $935 FOB, West Allis. It was on rubber with full spokes front and rear. My uncle bought one a year later. I think he paid the same. His was on rubber with disc wheels front and rear. Neighbors bought John Deere A's for slighly more money and they had slightly more pulling power for plowing but not much. For most chores the WC's performed about the same as JD A's and cost a little less money. $150 was a significant piece of change in 1936. The WC two row mounted cultivator had a big advantage over JD or anybody else. It took about 2 minutes to hook it up or drop it off. A big advantage around haying time (like now) when we would cultivate early in the morning until the dew was off the hay, then drop the cultivator and go and hay all day long and then put the cultivator on early in the evening and cultivate again.
