Its grousers, or legs, mate with the ground—actingas a gear or cog—and give positive traction in every soil, and that, too. without surplusweight, loss of power through slippage, and without packing the soil. These arestrong features of economy, and mean both less consumption of fuel and oil, and lesswear and tear on the tractor.
