Farmers gather hay using a small tractor at Hilltop Farm, Deerfield, Massachusetts. The use of machines in agriculture was commonplace in America by the 1880s. The steam tractor, although still big and heavy, was small enough for most farming tasks. By 1910, gasoline-powered tractors were widely available and by 1920, they had become small enough for the farms of New England. These tractors were also much less expensive than before. In this photograph, a farmer drives his Cletrac Model 20K, made from 1925 to 1932. Behind the tractor, a hay loader pulls hay from the field.
