Denison Texas will see the first Texas made farm tractor roll off the Jacques Power Law Co. lines this month. The Mighty Mite is designed for small farms under 50 acres, weighs about 600 pounds, measures 50 feet long, 4 feet high and 4 feet wide, and runs an air cooled gasoline engine capable of a full day on four gallons.
Jacques argues that small Texas farms shrink as equipment aids favor large operations. He cites Census data showing Farm numbers under 100 acres dropping from 289,000 in 1930 to 215,000 in 1940 and notes The Mighty Mite tractor offers three benefits: versatility, low operating cost, and affordable price. He claims it could replace two horses on small farms and reduce feed costs. United States gasoline consumption in early 1946 rose 10 percent from the previous year.
