@freakyboie19699 This is for doubling the horsepower available to pull larger equipment.  Brilliant idea back in the day.

[freakyboie19699]

@DOffio how far back in the day lol they dont look that old maybe 70s

@freakyboie19699 Those tractors went out of production in 1954.

Great to see this JD combination found and restored to its former glory.

@freakyboie19699 Buddy, John Deere was WAAAAY ahead of their time! for instance john deere had piston hydraulic pumps allmost since i can remember. the other companies just started to put those pumps on their tractors allmost 20 years ago

@freakyboie19699 having 2 of the same tractor running as one like that more then doubles the horse power, i dont know how it works but they could pull about 2 and a half times the number of plows...so i have been told anyway

@icewolf1100 Actually this is by no means the first (the model R was first made in 1949) a short list of some notable 4wd tractors that are older,

1930 Massey Harris GP most popular of the early 4wd tractors.

1922 Rogers had a setup most like our modern 4wd tractors.

1921 Samson iron horse oldest 4wd tractor I have found.

[icewolf1100]

the 1st 4wd tractor
