Early tractors make farmers feel like a king. Horses, mules, and oxen were no longer needed for those pulling and moving jobs. Tractors didn't get sick, need corn to eat, or get tired. On the other hand, they did break down, need new parts, use gasoline, oil, and were dangerous. You had to be on your P's and Q's when you were on one. Many a man lost his life when falling off and/or under on of those tractors. Nevertheless, it was worth all the risk when you got as much work out of them as you did.
