1910 Fairbanks Morse tractor
The 25-horsepower tractor was used on the Borgen farm near Niagara, N.D., to thresh grain. Weighing in at 7 tons, it operates with a hit-and-miss engine and can go all day without refueling, Wakeman said. It runs on 60 to 80 revolutions per minute. In comparison, a car idles at about 700 rpms.
Had the privilege to drive one of the 3 in the world!
