Eimco 'Tower Horse"

By Theo Mc Allister

456 N 300 W, Kanab, Utah 84741.

This unique tractor filled a need as it replaced the horse on the small farms and ranches in the west.

The "Power Horse" was designed to hook up to the horse drawn equipment- "no need to buy more equipment with this new 'horse'," was one of the selling points. It was designed to control completely from the seat of a mower, dump rake, wagon or sulky plow, etc.

Just snap the reins, like with a horse, and it closes the two control clutches and you're off; pull on the reins and you stop. Pull extra hard and the tractor will back up; release the reins and go back to neutral. Then back to snapping the reins and you're off again. Pull left line back and the tractor will start a left turn. Pull one rein back to reverse and the other in forward and the tractor will spin a turn in its own length.
