Homemade Gasoline Plow Brings Modern Farm Power
Harry B Kean of Ontario County New York shows a gasoline plow harrow mounted on an old binder truck weighing 3815 pounds with a ten horsepower two cycle motor. It pulls two three bottom harrows at about 1.5 mph covering two acres per hour and also drives a small mill for grinding feed. The device steadies drags near trees and handles brash removal and fence work, claiming to outwork horses and foretell a motor powered farming revolution.
