The Atkinson New Hampshire experiment shows a 20 horsepower tractor paired with a road machine replacing horses in road building. It halves labor needs from four to two men and doubles ground coverage. With road drag, one driver rounds and smooths more road in half a day than a horse team in a day and a half.
