Then, before it was placed on the market, it was tested under the most severe conditions that could possibly be met in actual farm use."

The gas tractor, however, in its modern forms, is able to accomplish everything the steam propelled type can do, and has important advantages the other construction does not possess. It does not require services of a skilled engineer to operate, it has a wider range of action, is more independent of fuel and water supply in that it does not consume much liquid in cooling, and is more economical of fuel because it utilizes a larger proportion of the potential energy or heat units of the combustible by burning it directly in the cylinders."
