Than Ons-Tsnth Of lie Weight

would be exerting pull Of 800 pounds

to haul q ton on an average level

21-3 tons In order to haul this load
up a 6 per cent. grade they would
have to exert pull equal to one

II the hill had 10 per cent. grade the
load would have to be reduced to
1880 pounds or nearly three tons less
In order to keep the pull up the
grade equal to one-fourth the weight
OF the horses.
Statistics show that It costs over
20 cents per ton-mile to market farm
products, so that If the distance to
market was Ave miles it would cost
81 to market ton when the road
Is level or contains not more than q
6 per cent grade.
Assuming that is would take as long
to haul the small load of 1000 pounds
necessitated by the 10 per cent. grade
as 1t does to haul the larger load, the
cost Of marketing a ton would be in
creased to $2.25. or an increase Of
$1.25 because Of the grade.
