A 1926 Iowa State College analysis of two years of farm cost accounts shows tractors on large farms can boost horse labor efficiency by handling rush work and lowering hourly costs, while on small farms limited tractor use raises costs. Overall tractor labor ranged from 0.49 to 1.88 dollars per hour, averaging 1.03, with most farms using fewer than 300 hours annually paying over 1.20 per hour.
