9% times more strain on a
transmisssion when a
tractor is operated under
continuous load at 2 mph as
compared to one being run at
6 mph.”
It takes basically the same
drawbar horsepower, but
much less draft load, to pull
a 20-foot disk at 5 mph as it
does to pull a 25 foot disk at 4
mph. Therefore, even if the
farmer works the same
number of -cres, from a
tractor reliability stand
point, it is to his advantage
to farm faster with the
smaller implement.
The question of traction
Most problems of ex
cessive wheel slippage occur
when tractors are
overloaded at the drawbar
and required to go lower
travel speeds (4 mph or
less). But, by farming at
higher travel speeds with the
proper sized Implement, the
result is lower draft forces
and unproved traction. J I
Case researchers suggest
farmers always match
implements to the power of
the tractor so that you can
travel is 5 mph or faster.
Ideally, the implement is

then sized correctly to the
tractor.
There are some field
conditions that will
necessitate a slower than 5
mph speed.
Additional points worth
remembering for getting the
most production out of
higher horsepower-to-weight
tractors are:
1. Less weight on a tractor

means a reduction m rolling
resistance and, con
sequently, less effort
required to propel the
tractor through the field.
When increasing rolling
resistance by overweighting
the tractor, it soaks up
drawbar horsepower at an
alarming rate and wastes
fuel.
2. Less total tractor weight
reduces soil compaction and
can result in greater yields
and increased returns at
harvest time.

How Fast Do
Yon Farm?
When farmers are asked,
“How fast do you farm?” ...
the most common answer is
“As fast as I can!” Con
sidering the pressures and
time limitations farmers
have to cope with in their
farming operations, this is
an obvious answer. But as
Case researchers point out,
if he is not working his
moderti high horsepower-to
weight tractor ■ at the op
timum speeds, he probably
is losing valuable field time. /

- The. high horsepower-to
weight tractors- are here,
today and in many and
v.aried forms for farmers to
utilize in their operations.
And the future undoubtedly
calls for even higher hor
sepower tractors - both 2-
wheel and certainly 4-wheel
drive tractors.
Right now, some
manufacturers, are talking
about 5 to 7 mph farming.
Within the next decade we
could possibly be basing our
farming operations on 8 to 10
mph tractor working speeds.
Those future tractors will
be specially engineered for
increased operator comfort
and will include
sophisticated control
systems that will com
pensate for- the higher
speeds.
A farmer who believes in
the Rapid Farming Systenf,
and puts it to practice, will
improve his productivity -
lower his farming costs - and
