Mike, I want to see what answers we get. They were not used or done together, and they didn't require each other.

However, my point is, that if you aren't old enough to know about check row planting and why it was done, then you won't appreciate the uses for a swinging draw bar. With todays modern tractors and implements, the swinging drawbar doesn't really have any use or value.

However, if you are using the F or letter series tractors, and the implements designed for them, you soon come to appreciate a swinging drawbar for certain applications.

Another "debate" and example is around mag's vs battery ignition and crank starting. FWIW, my mag tractors actually start better than my battery ones.....especially when the temp is down in the teen's. How many battery ignition tractor's do you know will fire and start within 1-2 revolutions at 10 degrees......all my mag tractors do.

Farm equipment has come a looooooooooooong way in the past 50 years and the reasons and use of the older equipment is lost on modern day farming techniques. to be honest, I would be lost trying to use today's equipment. So, let's see where this one goes!
