“A farm implement is not bought, put on and worn like a pair of shoes. Even a plow is a mechanism of a dozen or more distinct parts. Some harvesting machines have as many as 2500 parts. Parts wear out, some much faster than others. Or they get kinks in them. Or they are busted by bunglers. Or the user gets mad at them and wallops them with an ax.”
Currie’s investigation of the tractor’s influence on agriculture and the advent of larger, more economical farm machinery.
