If I recall correctly, the Massey demonstration outploughed the quadtrac. Massey wasn't running a stock tractor though, from what I recall. They were dragging 7 or more behind, and pushing a bunch ahead, had the engine turned for every foot pound it was worth, and the tractor sensored to death to monitor it. However, they did prove that draft control can be a much more efficient system than brute power. The only difference was that the quadtrac will do that day after day all it's life, and what Massey did was a one of... I think in both cases they pushed their field efficiency to about the limit too...
