But for the same money, you can buy, say, a Ford 2910 or a John Deere 5200 and have a much more modern, powerful and better in every way tractor.

What’s the advantage of one of these things over a horse or an ox?

Where I have seen them used is the truck gardens the Mennonites will plant big ones in the range of 3-4 acres of beans alone with one of these they are light so do not compact ground and you can plant and till much faster than by hand and to try that with horses or oxen would be slower and a lot more problems

are they perfect for all farming no but they fill a small special spot and there its all you need
