Because fuel costs is one of the big items in
the production of cheap power, you ought to know
what you can expect on the fuel economy record
of the tractor you buy before you buy it.
The most reliable figures on this are those
published by the Nebraska State University in
the tests they conducted on tractors in 1920 and
1921. Practically all of the principal tractors
manufactured in the United States were tested
law in Nebraska requires every manufacturer
to submit his tractor for severe tests before he is
allowed to sell in the state.
The above chart shows the fuel economy OBJ

nine per cent per day. At 13 cents per gallon
this means saving of s172 80. or thirty.nine per
