Default Re: 1938 model A powered Sears tractor

The introduction of the Ford 9N in 1939 would have thrown a wrench into the cog for most smaller tractors with a price of only $585.00. With the Ferguson system 3-point hitch and a PTO, it would have been hard to beat. The Ferguson hydraulic 3-point hitch that Ford developed to actually work well, really revolutionized the farm implement capability of tractors in general. Draw bar only tractor designs started to fade away after the advent of the 3-point.
