Garden Tractor Plow and Harrow Aids Small Farm Work
Harry B. Kean of Ontario county New York built a gasoline powered plow and harrow by mounting a motor on an old binder truck. The device weighs 3815 pounds and runs at 1.5 mph covering about two acres per hour. It pulls a two bottom gang plow, can turn in tight headlands, and doubles as a mill engine for grinding feed. It also functions as a wire fence stretcher and helps remove brush and bolsters. Estimated daily fuel cost is about 1.50, with motive power seen as revolutionary for farming. The piece also outlines home milk pasteurization using bottles in a perforated pail with a thermometer and gradual heating to 150–155 degrees, then cooling and resealing.
