A few observations:
The Comforttractor seemed to be offered only in standard tread form... so that limited sale to someone who wanted to cultivate, etc. It seems to me the bulk of tractors sold in the late 30s were row crops- Farmall M and H, JD A and B, etc.
Visibility looks compromised compared to more modern cab tractors.
The machine was geared for 40 mph, but was still a tractor- with no suspension, tractor tires, and only two rear wheel brakes that left a little to be desired. No back seat for kids, just pile on that rear axle housing that was making plenty of noise.
The machine was a novel idea, but like some others of MM, seemed to lack that final bit to get it just right.Interestingly enough, a lot were sold to the Post Office in the northern plains (MN and I think Dakotas). Probably fit the bill, as they had one passenger, and had to go through rotten roads in all kinds of weather. Seems like a Jeep would have been a big advancement, though!
