We had both . . . a 200 and Ford 640 (which burned a lot of gasoline). The Ford engine blew pulling silage wagons and dad traded for a Ford Dexter 2000. We did a lot of plowing with that Dexter with two 16 Ferguson trip-flip plow. We had about 150 acres cultivated. Dad used the 200 and I got the Fords and he totally wore out the wings on a C-200 plow. I hated the dust but the Dexter did have 35 horses to work with. We did most of the disking and plowing with the Ford just because of the horsepower and the flip plow. Most of the cultivating was done with the 200. I did not know just how much dust I was eating on that Ford until he bought a 656 and the Dexter was somewhat retired. We had both front and rear cultivators and I preferred the front mounted. Once we got to 4-row stuff it did not seem to make any difference. To be fair many of our neighbors used Fords and or Fergusons and Pittsburg frames and did some very fine work.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
