. Effective farming; a text-book for American schools . Fig. 209. — A tractor pulling six seeders. machines have many uses. In tillage work, they often haul plows and harrows at one operation. For planting, they can be arranged to haul a number of seeders (Fig. 209). For harvesting, they can be attached to a hay-loader (Fig. 59) or to several mowers (Fig. 56), or to binders (Fig. 49), and a wide swath can then be handled in one trip across the field. They are useful not only for pulling loads, but the engines can also be used to pump water, run the thresher (Fig. 210), saw wood, and the like.

Tractors are made in two general styles, those with high wheels and those with a creeping tread. The latter are especially useful on muck ground. In price the tractors vary from a few hundred dollars to about $2500, the price being governed by the size and power of the machine.
