sonix, one more observation - you should consider the importance of the first world war (or, as it was called at the time, the world war, before we knew enough to number them) - millions of young men were taken off the farms of america and europe and mobilized to fight - these men had to be fed, hence the need for mechanization to replace human and animal power on the farm

I see you got lots of unasked for advice and a tongue lashing or two, but very little of the help you politely asked for.

He didn't ask for help. He asked for an essay. If he has a specific question about something, thats one thing, but he comes across as wanting someone to do his paper for him. Reason it looks that way is everyone except him seems to know where to find the information to put together a kick-ass paper.

Incidently, If I was doing a paper on the development of the modern tractor, I'd start with a short introduction about muscle power and why getting rid of THAT was so important. And, how the population shift from rural to city impacted development. How the lack of money in the 1930's impacted it. How conservation programs (and not these touchy feelie green peace jokes) impacted it.

Ah the modern tractor. You only have to feed them when you need them.

I think he IS trying to find information. If it is easy, why do it the hard way?

Don't know what pax christi means, probably some kind of swear word maybe? Whatever you do, DO NOT (and I repeat DO NOT) submit your paper without at least 5 pages of information on the infamous Essex Tri-Directional "Field King" of circa 1926. I realize that I am not supposed to mention this historical piece of machinery on the YT forums but afterall it is Christmas and this young fella needs what will be the most pertinent bit of information that he will find and it's all because of good old Rufus here.

I second what Rufus said about devoting a substantial portion of the paper to the ETD. This will really set your paper apart from the crowd, so to speak. . .

Pax Christi... Peace of Christ... considering this is the Christmas season, this should be a welcome greeting no matter what faith (or lack thereof) you choose to follow.

Basically some guy figured out how to burn stuff to make a wheel go around, then somebody figured out that you could use this to pull stuff with, and next thing you know ol' Jed's a millionaire!

I did enough research and writing for my own education, not to mention paying for it as well. Why would I want to do it for someone else? Other than the brief synopsis above, it's all I'm going to offer.

Is procrastination part of the problem here, or did you just get this assignment yesterday? There is a wealth of information available on this subject if you take the time to look. You found this site, so you are capable.

I am also a student and I have done a paper like this for english and other classes. I bet you my teachers can tell you more about antique tractors than the subject they are teaching. All of the info you need will be on the internet. You will have to surf many sites to find who was the first and who was the second and so on. It is hard to find but it is on here. Which school are you at. Just about any book on Farm tractors will give you a starting point. You have to find a book on all farm tractors in general. A John Deere book will only give you John Deere stuff and a "red" book will only give you "red" stuff. If you get to a point that you can't put two pieces of info together you can ask and we'll see what we can help you with. The rest is up to you. Don't worry you have a whole week to get it done. Good luck.

I guess you have two choices. Use the resoures available to you, such as the local library, book stores or internet and burn some midnite oil, or, just take an incomplete and fail. I did my homework, I don't need to do someone else's. See, the purpose of doing a paper is not to learn about the subject, it is to learn how to do important stuff, such as bring information together and put it in a way others can understand, it's about communication skills, language skills, organizing, research etc. It's a little like eating a big mac. the eating part is easy, putting it all together is where the education is.

I'll be thinking of you this week.
