My Dad farmed with a team of horses and a Farmall M. He used the horses for a lot of jobs including raking hay and bringing bales in from the field..in his mind he was saving on buying gasoline for the tractor..so any job the horses could do they were assigned. I remember him cutting hay with the team as well..so cut rake and draw in hay, the tractor ran the bale elevator. My Dad came through the Great Depression and he always worried about another one, he always saved and set aside for rainy days,so using the team was being frugile. He always warned me about saving and only buying when you have the money to pay for it..he left a good sized estate..I think any farmer that came through the 30's used horses where possible to save fuel and repairs.
