Odd Tractors That Turned Every Head

1913 “Little Bull” Tractor

This tractor looks like it might have come from the Civil War era, but this was just finished with matte pewter paint. This is the 12-24 Big Bull. The Bull Tractor Company released it in 1915. They designed it for belt work and plowing. They used a tricycle design, and it ran on gasoline with its cross-mounted engine. The engine allowed power to move more directly behind its wheels. Unfortunately, despite its affordability, the vehicle had a reputation for getting stuck and being unsafe. Bull Tractors went into bankruptcy by 1920.
