Snowshoe, I have plowed with a mule, seriously. <GRIN> By the time I came along the few mules we had left were just old pets, left over from the days when the farm ran mostly on mule power and were living out their twilight years in muley retirement. I came across a receipt dated 1947 where grandmother sent 19 mules to the sale in Alabama and got nearly $9,000 for the lot. That same year the farm got a second tractor, a Farmall. The last generation of mule drawn implements were quite efficient. There are still a few things that a mule can do better than a tractor. Yeah, the tractor R&D departments built all sorts of oddball experimental models back then, turbines, electric, ect. They were selling tons of tractors and had the resources to experiment, I guess. Wonder how well that fuel cell tractor worked? Slagle
