Agriculture

The tractor enabled landowners to consolidate their small plots with tenant farmers into larger operations that could be farmed with fewer hands at reduced costs. Pictured here ca.1906 is an early Buffalo Springfield steam tractor engine, which could power hay presses or a threshing machine. Developing 30 hp or less, it is probably shown on the Robinson farm north of Buckingham Road between Jupiter and Plano Road
