The first engine-powered
farm tractors used steam and were introduced in 1868. These
engines were built as small road locomotives and were operated
by one man if the engine weighed less than 5 tons. They were
used for general road haulage and in particular by the timber
trade. The most popular steam tractor was the Garrett 4CD.Early
tractors utilized wide metal tires, especially in the rear
of the machine to disperse the weight. Front wheels often
had ridges to help them steer in the dirt. Problems with traction
pushed engineers to come to another form of wheels. A continuous
belt with slats were fitted to the front and back wheels.
This style has been made famous by Caterpillar company and
is still used in heavy earth moving equipment today. Fordson
was one of the first mass produced tractors starting in 1916.
Plowing speed was 2.8 mph (4.5km) weighing over a ton. It
ran on kerosene and could plow 8 acres on one tank of fuel.

use pneumatic tires from Firestone Tire and Rubber Company.
The tires had a much better grip in the soils. They have many
advantages over the metal tires, including their weight. Today
most of the tires used are wide and grooved for best results.
Today tractors come in all sizes and are
used for a multitude of tasks on the farm. |
