The use of the tractor for belt work does not influence horse labor and should really be considered a separate enterprise. However, the doing of such work with the tractor adds to its usefulness and reduces the cost per day of work for such items as depreciation, interest, and repairs.

The use of the tractor for belt work does not influence horse labor and should really be considered a separate enterprise. However, the doing of such work with the tractor adds to its usefulness and reduces the cost per day of work for such items as depreciation, interest, and repairs. As shown in Table 10, these 286 tractors were used an average of days for belt work on the home farm during the year. However, 91, nearly a third, of the 286 were used for no belt work on the home farm during the year. Table 11 shows that on the average the 3-plow tractors were used considerably more for belt work than the 2-plow machines. Eighty- five or 82 per cent of the 104 three-plow machines and only 103 or 59 per cent of the 174 two-plow machines were used for belt work on the home farm during the year. (See fig. 7.)
