Simple, they were easier to handle than it looked and for the person that was used to walking behind a single horse or mule it was actually easier than handling the implement with them and then to add all the other parts would have doubled the price and as was was about more than what farmed with that one animal could afford. Some of the 2 wheeler units were made as a 4 wheel unit that the back axle was the steering axle and they would take twice as much space to turn around in. Remember that for them most fields were between a quarter acre and one acre so you did not want to wast a foot of it. The unit that was hard to handle was the 1 wheel unit that was easy to have fall over but their working width was generaly about only a foot and not the 2 to 3 foot width of the 2 wheel models. Some of the bigger American 2 wheel models would pull about a 4' disk and even tho it was hard work it was still easier than following that mule all day. I wish my 2 wheel tractors were still in operating condition to be able to put out a garden. Would do a lot more that the walk behind tillers.
