Tractor Ploughing at Turretfield Shows Mixed Results
At Turretfield farm a two-tractor trial measured 27 working days for a three-furrow plough, yielding 113.52 acres ploughed with variable soil. The South Australian Director of Agriculture, Professor A J Perkins, called the tractor’s day in agriculture not yet come, citing high capital cost and frequent repairs versus a ten-horse team. A 10-horse team completed 74 acres in 17 days, showing comparable output though with different labor costs. Overall, Perkins notes tractors need skilled drivers and weather favorable conditions to rival horse teams, with reliability and economics still uncertain.
