Texas, it was used for hauling gravel from a pit 

 to a distance of six miles where roads were being 

 built. For this job a 25-45 h. p. Oil Pull Tractor 

 hauled eight dump wagons at each trip loaded with 

 three yards of gravel. One yard of gravel weighed 

 3.000 pounds, and each wagon weighed 4,000 pounds 

 empty. The total weight of the load of wagons and 

 gravel was 52 tons. The engine pulled it with no 

 difficulty whatever. 



A 15-30 h. p. tractor was also used on this work 

 and hauled five wagons with ease, or a total load of 

 about 32y 2 tons. 



A tractor for hauling is particularly an advan- 

 tage for the grain farmers. Instead of a large num- 

 ber of separate trips to the elevator or storage bins, 

 as would be necessary if horses were used, a carload 

 or more can be hauled at one trip by means of a train 

 of wagons and engine. This greatly facilitates the 

 market problem, which many find it so difficult to 

 solve, and means much to the farmer who is at a 

 considerable distance from a shipping point.
