Farmer’s Car Pulls Plow Over an Acre in Three Hours, 1939

Instead of hitching up a horse or tractor, one farmer harnessed his automobile to the plow in 1939. One man drove the sedan, keeping the car wheels on one side in the previous cut of the plow; his partner handled the plow. In that way they turned an acre of ground in less than three hours. The plow was attached to the rear bumper with a chain at the side toward the furrow being turned.
