[SEL] Nice Wheels/ cable plowing

[Mike Tucker]

Something I'm curious about is all of the pictures that I've seen 
with the traction engine directly hooked to the plow, it's usually an 
18 or 20 bottom plow.  But in the pictures that I've seen with the 
cable system the plow is a 5 or 6 bottom plow.  Is the cable system 
moving three or four times faster than the steamer could move or is 
the cable system just slower on a per acre basis?  I wonder what the 
difference in time would be for the 2 methods for getting to the next 
plow swath?
